The Hywean 2-Pack Solar Bug Zapper uses an 18650-style internal battery and a multi-spectrum LED array (365nm-395nm) to attract and manage mosquitoes. The chassis is built with a vertical fin design made of rigid ABS plastic, maintaining a safe distance between the outer cage and the 1,200V-1,500V internal grid. These units are rated IP66, indicating they are well-sealed against heavy rain and dust, which is a helpful feature for permanent outdoor placement.
For the best results, these units are most effective when hung approximately 5 to 7 feet high and placed 15 feet away from where people are gathered. While the solar panel provides a way to maintain the 2000mAh battery, it typically requires 8 to 10 hours of direct sun for a full charge. The inclusion of a USB-C port allows you to quickly recharge the units indoors when the weather is overcast. The grid is non-removable, so using compressed air can be a helpful way to dislodge any insects that become stuck.
- IP66 Weather Resistance: Gasket-sealed ports are designed to prevent internal shorting during storm conditions.
- Hybrid Functionality: Can be used as a warm-light lantern or switched to the UV zapper mode.
- USB-C Support: Provides a modern and reliable way to ensure the battery is charged when solar energy is limited.
For those who prefer a scent-based approach to perimeter defense, the Amdeiur 8-pack of repellent pods provides a different type of protection.
