Re: USB bug zapper to kill fungus gnats

I just wanted to mention that this year I have been keeping my fungus gnat problem under control with a small portable bug zapper that runs/charges from a USB cable. I have been running this small light at night and it attracts the gnats, any mosquitoes, and even house flies. It kills silently and doesn't have enough power to kill a house fly immediately but eventually the fly gets stuck inside the light and then zapped long enough to expire.
The price of a small zapper varies but many types on amazon can be purchased for under $30. Perhaps this would be a good gift for yourself or someone else.
Happy Thanksgiving!
