Fruit flies are a particularly pesky problem in the Southern heat and humidity, and the same goes for most other winged insects, including regular flies, gnats, and mosquitoes, too. If traditional indoor fly traps and blue light plug-ins aren’t doing the trick, you may need something more intense to clear up your fly problem, especially during summer and even fall when these pests thrive and are more likely to find their way inside.

The Fooxem Indoor Fly Trap gets rid of winged insects for good with its brilliant three-part system that catches current bugs and then prevents new flies from hatching. It’s an absolute must-have for anyone living in the swampy South, and right now, it’s nearly half off at just $35 with a clickable coupon at Amazon.

First, it uses a brighter, more pronounced ultraviolet light in the 365-nanometer to 395-nanometer range—which studies show is effective at trapping nocturnal insects—but also has a back-up in the form of a powerful fan that draws in flies once they get close. Once inside the zapper, insects stick onto the interior glue trap (it comes with 10 to start) where they’ll never be a nuisance to your kitchen ever again.

In addition to the one-two punch of UV light and a fan, this zapper—which was purchased 3,000 times in the past month—also features a built-in temperature and humidity sensor to prevent future fly problems. It monitors your home’s temperature and humidity levels to ensure it stays within the optimal temperature range of 68 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity between 30 and 60 percent. Staying well within these ranges discourages pests from breeding and significantly reduces the likelihood of a fruit fly recurrence.

“Living in North Carolina, bugs are a big part of our lives. Even with spraying the outside of the house we get quite a few bugs inside also,” one five-star reviewer said. “Within an hour of setting it up… it had already killed two pesky pests.” They added that the “set up was easy and painless” and even updated their review a week later, writing, “While eating dinner, we noticed a couple of gnats flying around so we left the machine on last night and the results floored us.” Now, they said all the gnats “are gone in the house” and it’s even “quiet while doing the job.”

Someone else said, “Living in the Florida Keys, bugs of all kinds are everywhere. This is a nice addition to the kitchen and front porch when the flying insects are in full force.”

It’s even made an unexpected splash among pet owners with one shopper, whose son has had guinea pigs for the past three years, writing, “We’ve never [seen] any issues, but for some reason, this year, we started getting fruit flies, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t get rid of them.” They tried changing the guinea pigs’ bedding more frequently and even tried homemade fruit fly baits using apple cider vinegar and dish soap. “The first three days, it caught one, possibly two” and then “on the fourth day, it’s when I first started seeing results.” They added, “Every night since, I wake up to more and more dead fruit flies,” writing that they seem to “catch the most at night.”

Its bug-trapping abilities also really come in handy for plant owners, too, since it’s very common for fungus gnats to appear around overwatered houseplants. “I use this in my office where most of my plants are,” another shopper said. “I tend to get some gnats this time of year and it has worked great at luring them in the trap.”
