The device features a 360-degree light-emitting core that projects a purple UV light to lure mosquitoes, gnats, and flies into its center. Surrounding the light source is an electrified grid that instantly zaps insects upon contact. It is enclosed in an outer plastic security grid to prevent accidental human contact with the high-voltage interior. Powered via a USB power cord, this portable lantern-style trap can be hung up or placed on flat surfaces like tables, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
