As summer approaches, there will be endless opportunities to soak up the sun, especially when it cools down in the evenings. Sadly, we’re not the only ones who enjoy backyard summer fun. Mosquitoes, moths, and other pests often crash and occasionally ruin outdoor summer gatherings. But what if there was a way to keep these uninvited critters away?
The Evolpol Bug Zapper is a truly portable way to keep bugs at bay, especially when they come out during warmer weather months. It normally runs for $160, but Amazon is selling it for only $40 for a limited time. Shoppers are calling it “an essential outdoor companion.”

With four different modes, it’s one of the most versatile bug zappers out there. Its main mode attracts and zaps bugs dead, wherever you hang the device. But, because there are no wires to speak of, you can drag it along with you, creating a mobile bug shield around you and your loved ones.
Aside from being an efficient bug zapper, it’s also a powerful flashlight with three lighting modes. One provides white light for everyday use, but it’s also got a spotlight mode that’s perfect for extra dark situations — like, say, camping. Speaking of the wilderness, the third lighting mode offered is SOS, which sends out emergency signals if you’re stranded in the wild or during a natural disaster. It’s no surprise it’s so popular for both outdoor patio use and camping.
“The BK28 from Evolpol promises a lot — mosquito zapping, a strong flashlight, and long battery life — and it actually delivers,” one shopper said. “For camping or backyard use, this is a win.”
Best yet, it charges via USB-C, so you don’t have to futz with batteries to use it. It keeps its charge for ages, and a full charge lasts up to 12 hours. And with a 360-degree swivel and retractable hanger, there’s no backyard or campsite in the world where it won’t provide light protection from pesky insects.
If you plan on going on a camping trip or hosting guests this summer, investing in a reliable bug zapper isn’t just recommended; it’s essential. The Evolpol Bug Zapper is on sale at Amazon for $40, but like mosquitoes around this zapper, it’s not long for this world.
