A UV light catcher would be far better than zapper. Remember that a zapper blasts bugs and it isn't sanitary.

It depends. I know the blacklight trap that dspdrew is making is using a modified bug zapper.

If you want the bugs to be alive, you obviously need to disable the electrified screen. :lol:
