Living in the country has both negative and positive aspects. The worst part is the mosquitoes and flies. I was so happy to find this item to help keep the flying insects away. I have one on my porch that I keep going wow I'm sitting outside enjoying a quiet evening, I have also placed one on my picnic table numerous times in order to be able to have dinner with my family without the flying bugs bothering us. This little mosquito trap, fly zapper may be small but is very powerful. The job is always done and my family and I are able to enjoy the Outdoors without being harassed by mosquitoes. We can have dinner without being their dinner.
