The Surprising Truth: Bug Zappers and Electricity Usage Compared

The Hidden Cost of Mosquito Control

Every summer, homeowners wage a silent war against mosquitoes, often without realizing the true financial and environmental impact of their chosen weapons. Traditional bug zappers have long been the go-to solution, but these energy-hungry devices are silently draining both wallets and power grids. The average traditional bug zapper is essentially an electrical dinosaur – consuming massive amounts of energy and requiring frequent replacements. At first glance, these devices seem inexpensive, but the long-term costs tell a dramatically different story.

The Financial Reality: Traditional vs. Buzbug Bug Zappers

Let's break down the true cost of bug control over a decade:

Traditional Bug Zapper:

  • Initial Device Cost: $40
  • Power Consumption: 20W × 3,000 hours annually
  • Total Electricity Consumption: 600 kWh over 10 years
  • Electricity Cost: $396 (at $0.66 per kWh)
  • Replacement Costs: $20 × 10 years = $200
  • Total 10-Year Investment: $636

Buzbug UV-LED Zapper:

  • Initial Device Cost: $50
  • Power Consumption: 5W × 3,000 hours annually
