If you’ve got a nice lawn or outdoor patio, April is a great month to start enjoying the sunshine again — but thirsty mosquitos and other pesky bugs can put a damper on an otherwise perfect barbecue. Fortunately, you don’t have to go broke buying a great, effective bug zapper.
Right now, Amazon has the $70 Gootop Bug Zapper on sale for just $36 when you apply an on-page 10% off coupon before checkout. It’s rated for a coverage area of half an acre, and is powered by a three-prong 4.26-foot power cord. The 15-watt bulb is easy to replace, and a cleaning brush is included with your purchase to keep the zapper looking its best. And it sure beats having to buy (and smell) spray-on insecticides for every summer get-together.

“Best bug zapper ever. I’ve tried several different electric zappers over the years, and this is the one to get! It really works. We used to have a lot of mosquitoes hiding in every room, and whenever the AC was off, they’d come out and become super annoying. Not anymore,” wrote one satisfied shopper. “This bug zapper is awesome. From the first time I plugged it in, it was working perfectly,” said another. “Very good product, and I highly recommend it.”
“The three-prong plug provides a secure connection, and the design is lightweight but sturdy,” one reviewer added. “It covers a large area, and cleaning is easy thanks to the removable tray at the bottom. The unit works quietly and efficiently, making evenings much more enjoyable without constant buzzing insects.”
If you’re getting ready to enjoy the outdoors this summer, why not invest in the Gootop Bug Zapper and save yourself $34? Hang it wherever you like and bid adieu to mosquitoes, horse flies, wasps, and other winged nuisances. Your family will certainly thank you for it.
