🙏If you found this video helpful, please consider sending a couple bucks my way to say thank you by hitting the THANKS button under the video 💲❤. ( How to do it: ruclips.net/video/9JMfftsDkFg/видео.html ) You can't imagine how much I would appreciate it. 🥰
I was seconds away from buying, but I just can’t buy anything without reviewing it. And you’ve done a fantastic job of doing the ground work. THANK YOU!
Same! I was about to bookmark their page to buy later! It's just like that "Lit Box" scam!!! I bought a literally no name chinese power bank that actually works great. Pretty bad when the chinese knock off beats the hell out of your own product lol. I wonder if youtube is going to start censoring people exposing scams!!!
ya funny and too gullible, all I saw in this video was a lot of hand gestures and a lot of talking at no point in time did he open the device and of course if you buy it from a different website it's not going to say the name brand because you're buying it from a different website its not the best review i seen. also what kind of credit card do u have helps a lot. if u buy something and its defective u can always get your money back
@@joeb7291 You did not watch the video very carefully then. I stated quite clearly that I bought it right from the fuze bug website. I am starting to wonder if all you people that keep saying this same thing are not working for Fuze Bug and are intentionally misquoting my statements to cast doubt on this honest review.
Four things caused my guard to go up concerning these things. First, the claims seemed extravagant. Second, when I tried to find reviews, all the articles I found on the internet claiming to be reviews were in fact advertisements, not reviews, until I found this video. Third, I tried to find evidence of the award that the contraption supposedly won, and couldn't find any evidence of the award by the name given. Fourth, the contraption is not sold on Amazon, which always has reviews of all products. I imagine they didn't want to sell it on Amazon because they didn't want honest reviews to be posted on it.
Thanks. Actually, I did find it on amazon and ebay, but under very different names. I put warning links in the description to these product pages so people would know that it was the same thing. Please do not buy this item through those links, they are just there to demonstrate that this same product is being sold under many names on different sites. Unless, of course, you just want a really funky-looking rechargeable flashlight/camping light. LOL! Side note: Last night (4th of July), the mosquitoes were so bad on my deck that we could not even go out to enjoy fireworks. They were unbearably thick. I had company over and I was showing them the FuseBug. I stuck it on my deck for two hours where the mosquitoes were so thick people were running into the house to get away from them. In two hours, it caught ONE mosquito. Not a surprise, but still funny to me considering what the claim about this product is.
RUclips has ads that say kills mosquitos "within 6 minutes", well was that in a glass jar or in a bathroom or outside and did you spray attractant on it :) ? How can you prove that, where is any true data on this thing? To me that is a total baloney claim. The Fuze Bug website just bombards you with advertisement lines about how great it is rather than quality specs or data. The lower sections of the webpage is made up like smoke and mirrors to keep people pumped up about it. That to me shows they have to prop it up, it cannot just stand on it's own and do what it says. In addition, all the reviews on the website are dumb statements about barbequing and being outdoors and having fun rather than the product and they are 5 stars which we all know is not real to life. Once I saw that I knew it was fake and I would not buy. I also went to Amazon to see what people said and I did not find it there.
To me a big giveaway was that in the add they claim that they were sold out immediately, then the guy tripled the production, and now they offer a 50% off welcome back discount within the next 4 hours. I've seen a lot of scam products use this method
Oh THANK GOD! I'm a single mother trying to make ends meet and living in Florida where we get mosquitoes in the house that bite us all night. It's getting really bad with over 10 bites each daily! And I was about to pay $40 for this because all I can find are good (fake) reviews. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. 👍👍
I purchased one without doing any research. The ads really bamboozled me lmao can't believe I fell for it. I knew the moment I looked at the box that I had been swindled. I emailed the company to ask for a refund and they refunded 75 percent of what I paid without having to return it. I honestly feel lucky to get anything back after seeing how shady the advertisements were. The customer service was really fast too. Initiated the refund within one hour of me emailing them. I gotta say I still think this deserves a lawsuit. After looking at their website it seems they have their bases covered. The fine print says something along the line of we reserve the right to say whatever we want about the product even if it's a lie. They shouldn't get away with it though. They paid Google to make sure the right things show up when searching. A lot of fake reviews that are basically ads and a lot of them are designed to intrigue the skeptical consumer. Despicable business practices.
Thanks Arden for filling us in I can't believe these companies actually get away with the fine print and making some sort of sweetheart deal with Google there's a huge company like that both been doodling us along with this mosquito-less killer light. This and all those swamp cooler so-called air conditioners have done the same thing lied to us lie to us made us think this was the best thing since sex was created LOL. And there's nothing the FCC or any other consumer products organization can monitor these outright lies and cheating the public I don't know how much this unit cost. But they'll swamp coolers are at least $89. Nothing could be done about it I can't believe the criminal element that comes across so virtuous with these commercials thanks for filling Us in stay well everybody stay safe
The ad I saw was called Buzzbug, but same story! It was a college student that was allergic to mosquitoes so he invented this thing… glad I reviewed it before getting one for the cabin lol Thank you for the review!
Just seen an ad for it but it was called Buzz Krush and it was a Texas farmer who created it because his daughter had been bitten by mosquitoes 30 times and decided to do something about it 🤣 it’s also 50% off
Yea, I totally got scammed. Found this video to figure out exactly what I found out. I paid $40+$10 shipping. Ugh, I can’t believe I fell for that. Thanks for sharing this man
I tried them. Major regret. After about 48 hours two mosquitoes died, probably by running into it instead of being zapped. Won't hold a charge. But, they did refund me.
@@diamondhair11 Yep, full refund. I suspect different sellers have different refund policies. I've seen the same item peddled by numerous places. We ended up buying a Dynatrap® which works pretty good and has lasted a year now. We had one of the mosqioto magnets that uses propane and it was almost $400 but quit working after the first season. Sorry you couldn't get a refund--I don't know what's more aggravating: mosquitoes or skammers.
I never comment, but once I saw your video I had to throw some praise your way. You got straight to the point, you told us it's a scam as soon as possible without making us watch the end of the video, very appreciative! Liked and subscribed! :)
Thanks for the sub. Glad you liked it. I generally try to give the ending first because I know people just want an answer. I hope you watched the video at least to the spider part. People get a kick out of that part
Right about the name. I came here after googling reviews for ElectriZap and as you describe in the video, the ad is what really got me. Very well done and yep it was that college kid. So different product name but as you say same product. I am at my wits end with mosquitoes so I am glad I saw this video. I'll just stick to my normal treatments and hope for the best.
Yes, it is on its fith name this year. ElectriZap was last year's name, but they are still running ads for it. The year before it was the BuzzBugg, and before that it was the FuzeBug. This year it is going by two new names. They are calling it the BugBlast Pro, and the ZapTek
Harbor Freight has one like this in gray for $12. No solar panel, but a 4hr charge and it works for crazy hours. Worked GREAT in the tent. Slept with the blue light on hanging from the top of the tent and we didn’t get bit once. It killed all the mosquitoes that’s got it. There was prolly ~20 dead ones and a couple larger bugs dead inside. Think it has to be in an enclosed space.
HUGE THANKS, I was desperately hoping it would work, but like you I knew it was suspect from the ad. I was almost willing to gamble the 39 bucks to try it, but thanks to you I don't have to.
I was minutes away from ordering this. So glad I found your review!!! Keep up the great work dude! The old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.
Saw the same video, really caught my attention. Its a good fake ad. I'm glad for this video. It was claiming to be the greatest invention of 2023. So they are keeping that fake ad up to date. They called it buzz bugg. Which seemed like a bad name for something that was supposed to ne that amazing. Great video, thanks for the review. Saved me time and frustrations
My pleasure. I am so glad it helped you. If you want a laugh and have some time, watch my REACT video where I show the ad and telling about all the tricks and lies they are pulling in it. ruclips.net/video/1y6AQPC-X1Y/видео.html
Wish I had seen this before buying it. Completely agree with this review>had it out fo the first time on the weekend at the Cottage and not a single mosquito did it kill, or attract to it, Interesting could not find a site that sells this product that allows for reviews and now I know why. Do agree that the flashlight strobe and camping light is very good. I also had this product out on the sun all day and it barely lasted a few hours on the sunlight charge had to recharge it vis the USB cable. DO NOT buy as a mosquito killer does not work
I'm a mosquito magnet. I get bitten in just the few seconds it takes to put the garbage out. I'm left with huge, itchy welts that last for days and even have some scars on my arms, legs and neck from all the scratching of the worst ones over the years. Ironically, I love the outdoors-walking in a park, hiking, biking, and just sitting on the back deck on a nice evening. The mosquitos make these things hard to enjoy, so I was interested in these lamps. Bought 2. Haven't tried them yet, mosquito weather is only now just starting here, but this review has disheartened me. Oh well. The lamps are at least good, rechargeable outdoor lanterns and have a strobe feature which will come in handy for Halloween, as we're big Halloween fans around here.
Just saw this ad. The ad was terrible - you know it's bad when they take 3 minutes spinning yarn before they tell you the name of the product. Figured it was a garbage product but well, never know right? So happy I ran across this video of yours. Thanks for saving me the cash.
Thanks! Unfortunately I fell for it. I live in mosquito ridden Florida so I experimented by putting it out all night on my deck. The next morning there was only one dead mosquito!
I'm surprised. I bought this about 2 years ago after seeing the ad and there was a special for $20. I also live in Florida and every time I use it, it's full of all sorts of flying insects. I keep it on my back patio so that I don't die of blood loss when I go out to smoke. I actually pulled it out again tonight after forgetting about it from last fall and after just an hour or so it's covered in bugs.
I had my ad blocker off for a day and saw the ad for this thing this morning. I agree it is a good ad, meaning I really wanted it to be true because who doesn't love the college kid living the American dream theme? But then I noticed they were claiming it emitted precisely the right color of UV light to attract mosquitoes, but what they were showing looked like a rainbow of LEDs decorating a medicinal herb vaporizer. One would probably be better off partying with stoned mosquitoes who keep forgetting they were trying to satiate their munchies. As an aside, I know more legit bug zappers use black lights, but why on earth would night feeding insects be attracted to a color of light that is absent at night? Shouldn't the little flying vampires use thermal infrared? Maybe their eyes would have to be too big for their heads? Anyway, thanks for making the video.
Just wanted to say thanks for this. It's weird when you KNOW something is a scam, but you want to believe it because mosquitos are the worst! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
Thank you for this review. I just saw an add but instead of Fuze bug it’s called Keilini bug zapper. But it looks exactly the same as the one in your review. I’m always skeptical about online purchases and always look for other reviews and your was the only real one I found that actually tested the product. Thanks for your sacrifice to help others not get scammed.
Thank you! I was one click away from getting it, but my gut told me to look for reviews. You're right, the ad and the history are so good, and the marketing is so good that it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
Thanks for visiting my channel and watching this video. If you enjoyed it, please punch the 👍 thumbs-up button under the video. If you want to be notified when I release a new video, hit the SUBSCRIBE button, and ding the BELL 🔔. Thanks for the support!
Bless you sir. I consider myself a bit intelligent but definitely prone to lapses of outright dumb. This ad was almost convincing to me, a true bachelor of science.
The good news is that I saved the order confirmation info that had a customer service number, , called it, and filed a complaint. They immediately refunded $113 to my Paypal account. It isn’t the $123 I paid, (they call the difference a restocking fee), but it is a heck of a lot better than losing the entire amount.
Wish I had watched this before I bought 2. Like he said scam. I bought then to protect our newborn from mosquitos that were getting in. I turn on 4 hours nothing. I make dinner and come in. 1 followed me in. 5mins later it flew passed the worthless junk and it was on my babies head. . I set the other 1 outside for few hours. Killed nothing. Also left the one inside on all night and woke up to nothing dead and same mosquito in my house flying around. U also live next to a pound. Save your money. Pos company
I received this today and bought it to see if it would work for a gnat infestation (which I see from one comment that it does work)...BUT...the instructions don't say how to 'remove the inside to clean'...from what I remember from the ad, the inside is supposed to come out for cleaning! Thanks for any help! Thank you for your video...I hope it works!! Next time, I'll look for reviews before I buy!
Thanks for taking the hit for all of us. Was about to by the package contains 5 of them for 159. So thank you for saving me some money. Really appreciate it.
Thanks for saving us money. It's amazing how well these advertising experts can manipulate Google so well that you have to dig really deep for objective info.
It would have been nice to actually see where you left the device outside overnight. (Forest area). Still, I am glad you gave your honest opinion about the flashlight part of the product. You saved people money.
There are several other videos on my channel that show live in-field footage of this device being tested. If you have trouble finding them, I can provide you with links.
But how can it not work, the GENIUS college student with a perfect SAT score invented it!!!! At least that’s what the RUclips ad told me lol. So many red flags. Pretty much any that is a YT ad I discount as a scam. Good review and funny at the lack of bugs you caught.
Not gonna lie... The ad convinced me and I saved their webpage. Glad I search for reviews. Thank you very much, sir! Much appreciate your honesty and help.
Saw an ad on Twitter for BuzzBugg, and it looked like a scam for 15.95 but I did a search and found this video to confirm. I'm one of those people who is allergic to the protein mosquitoes inject when biting and always on the lookout for anything that might repel. Still looking... Thanks so much for posting.
I am so glad this video was helpful. I am not allergic to mosquito bites, but I have had malaria nine times, so they have a special place of dislike in my heart. I hope one day there is a good solution for them.
I've been using bug zappers for years and to the best of my knowledge I never killed a mosquito. We use large AC powered units occasionally to eliminate nuisance insects. These are harmless bugs that hatch in the spring and make a mess of the house if not controlled. True mosquito killing machines are possible but require replication of a live blood source.
co2 was the lie i was itold but bc i'm not "sweetmeat" then not to screw with me much. when you see a mosq. tornado coming for you it's tame to head home and rub your pecker. chiggers always got me at least 1 day out of school.
I get bitten 10x more in crowds of thousands. I get bitten in under 30 seconds of being outside in summer. We keep our property managed but can't control neighbors. Thank you for saving me from an impulse buy that wouldn't work. 😔
Thank you!!! I live in Florida and with all these genetically engineered mosquitoes was seconds away from ordering this product. Again thank you ❤🙋🏼♀️
I've been getting ads with exactly the same format but for many other random things (like AC, roofing, car econ, etc.). This was another thing I see them for. The ads are these shady computer-voiced explanations of random college students "discovering" things, telling their professors, usually getting expelled from school, and doing these things themselves. I find these kind of ads abominable, and the companies behind these false advertisements should be sued and TAKEN DOWN! Of course, I have no clue if that's possible or even worth it, but people are tricked by the smooth-talking, and somebody is getting money for it.
Exactly! Like you, I have seen several ads that use the same format for all kinds of things. It is sad and disgusting. But, as long as these types of ads are successful, they will keep running them. There is little to be done other than exposing them like I did here. These ads are coming out of other countries that are outside of US law and enforcement. If a US company were responsible, we could file and FCC complaint and sue them, but since they are not in the US, that is not an option. Google Ad services are the ones running the ads, so there may be something that could be done to Google to encourage them to be more careful of these type of ads, but you have to understand that Google is staffed by people that might not be savvy enough to know that these ads are scams. And there in lies the problem. These ads are good enough to fool the people that would be in the position to weed them out. I know to you and I they are obviously a scam, but the fact that they keep running them means that millions of people do not immediately detect that they are scams. They would not keep running them if they did not work. We would like to think that the people working at Google would be smart enough to know what a scam is, but if you have ever called customer service, you would know better. 😉
This one is the same one I I almost bought two! I was seconds away also. And it had a whole different name Electrizap. Whatever happened to the Better Business Bureau how come we can’t stop these deceiving ads I know all advertising is somewhat deceiving but these ones that really make up a whole story!? Thanks for your video.
The sad truth is the company running these ads is in China and the BBB is only for USS based companies. And they change their name constantly, so if you manage to shut one down today, it will be back under a different name tomorrow. Eventually we can only hope for some sort of international treaty to deal with these global scams.
This is one of the MAIN reasons why I won't EVER sign up for ANY paid "premium" service offered by youtube. The fact that they allow such blatant false advertising, and deception speaks volumes about where their loyalty lies, and it's not their consumers. Thank you for the review of yet another scam heavily marketed and advertised through youtube.
Love that this review exists. The ad looks like a scam, but we're all so desperate to get rid of the skeeters that we'll try nearly anything. Thank goodness I didn't spend the $!
*_I just received mine today. It said it is one of the best ones to get today. I saw that it was $120 but it said on sail for 50%. So I got it and I'm going to try to out today! There have been mosquitos in my house since my uncle has been taking in plants from the backyard. There have been mosquitos in the house hence the moist soil... I'm going to hang it in the hallway and hope that it works. There are 6 of us in the house and we definitely have gotten multiple mosquito bites._* UPDATE: I should have looked at this review first.... *_I did spent money so I might as well leave in on and hope that it does catch some mosquitos flying in the hallway or around the house._*
They got me! I bought 2. The plus is that it is a really good lantern and the solar charger is good. But as a mosquito killer it does not attract a single mosquito. If you have one, put a piece of dry ice in the lamp and that will attract mosquitoes, then the zapper will kill them. If you want to go through that trouble
You can try to get your money back. In most cases they will give you a 75% refund, and not even require you to send the product back. They actually still make money, because they are paying only $4 a piece for these units.
I am so glad you watched my video before buying this scam device. So far, I have seen this device go by the names, FuzeBug, FuzzBug, BuzzBug, and ElectriZap. Who know how many more name they are marketing this device under.
Thank you for this review!!! I saw this ad last year but I was iffy about whether or not it was a scam. The ads are in full swing again this year so I’m glad I finally did some real research and came across this video!
I also got scammed by this. Its basically a $40 flashlight. I wish I had seen this review a month ago because I actually went for the 4 pack and it cost me nearly $200. Live and learn if it sounds too good to be true - then it is.
Thanks for the info. I fell for a 4 pack of these, the grid is electrically very "hot" when you test it. (strong zap) But like you I find the light the most useful thing. Have had very few bug kills.again same as you. thanks for making video.
Thank you for this. I thought it sounded too good to be true. It it was true, they would not be investing on mutsnt mosquitoes etc. Also the thing that attracts mosquitoes to us the most is out smell and exhaling, not light
I never subscribed to anything online, I am a buyer for an organization, I want to give you kudos for your channel, I subscribed!!! Thank you! PLEASE, don't fell to their possible offer to get out of the web. At the end you will be rewarded. More and better.
Thank you. No worries about them buying me off. A lot of people have already tried and failed. I am here to provide honest unbiased reviews because that is what I want to see myself. Every review I make, that is the guiding principle, "What would I want to see if I were looking for a review."
Just saw an ad for this and looked it up to find that the name they gave in the ad isn’t listed anywhere and instead it’s going by several different names
I am one of the fools that bought 4!! I bought it in April (preparing for mosquito season which hadn’t started). Used it on a camping trip. This gentleman is 100% correct. The only thing beneficial is the flashlight. Collected exactly ZERO bugs!! Steer clear.
Im here because of a youtube add for ElectriZap literally the same device now a year after your video. They are now charging $40 i found one on ebay for $13.
Thank you for this. I made a purchase after visiting the ad from RUclips, but not before reading some reviews. After submitting my purchase I looked at more reviews and noticed how copy-paste they all seemed. Looked for a video review and here I am. Immediately called to cancel my order and to nobodies surprise, it didn't give any identifier as to what company I'd just called and the person on the other side of the phone sounded much like that of notable scamming... lineage. Sorry if that sounds insensitive. Letting my card service know to watch out for me and not let these payments go through.
The YT ads for these things all follow the same format, young man with a degree in something has an idea, attracts investment, partners with a team of engineers and markets a brilliant world beating device . . leaving you with the feeling you’ve seen it all before somewhere.
Originally I thought this video was another version of the scam. Thanks for the review. We camp a lot and I was considering it because my wife and daughter get eaten alive. You saved me $$. Job well done. The spider commentary is brilliant. 🤣🤣
Unfortunately, I have not found any device that actually works, and I have tried many, all the way up to hundreds of dollars for devices claimed to be used on military bases. There some devices that do attract mosquitoes, but they use propane and chemical attractant s to work, and even then, do not eliminate enough mosquitoes to be worth their cost. On a side note, I just order a couple more similar devices that I saw new ads for. I will be testing them and doing reviews for them in the near future.
I was definitely about to impulse buy but something told me to look up if it even works. I have bug zappers and they're amazing for overall insects but I was looking for something specific to mosquitos.
Thanks. Yeah, that was cool. I did not see him there until after I was done editing and rendering the video, and was just reviewing it for mistakes. When I saw him there, I was like, "This is too good! I have to do something with that!". I am also a nature photographer and take a lot of macros of plants and insects, so I found that picture of that spider to use. If you would like to see more of my nature photography work you can visit my profile on Adobe: stock.adobe.com/contributor/208198523/the-nature-guy
That’s the reason why I don’t purchase from ANY ads on RUclips for gadgets or miracle pills etc. scammers are getting very crafty. And they get your credit card info that way.
Great vid. Thanks. These criminals should be prosecuted for spreading so many lies. I assumed it was a scam but the commercial was so compelling. It makes me angry seeing what these miscreants will do to defraud the gullible. Thanks again!
@@nothingbutgadgets Spending almost $70 and the many hours to produce this video just to help those who would likely get scammed, is exemplary. It’s people like you who make this country great. Thanks again. But I truly don’t understand why these scammers cannot be prosecuted for fraud.
@@JosephusAD70 It is very upsetting, but it is a sad fact of reality in the world we live in. The issue with prosecuting these scam companies is that they are in foreign countries. The US has consumer protection laws, but those laws only apply to the US. The US has no authority to enforce them outside of our borders. The internet, however, has no borders. So that is the problem. We live in a world that is divided by sovereign borders, but we are interacting as a global community without borders on the internet. The US cannot send the police to China or Kenya to arrest a scammer. The most they can do is ask that country to go after the scammer. However, from an economic standpoint, scammers are good for foreign countries, because they bring in billions of dollars in revenue to the country's economy. In a lot of cases, the scamming is done with the country's blessing, or it is officials within the government that are actually heading up the scamming operations. That is the sad reality of the situation. The best we can do right now is to make wise choices about the products we buy. The internet is a powerful tool. Like any powerful tool, it can be used for good or bad. Some use it for evil; I try to use it for good.
@@nothingbutgadgets I assumed incorrectly that this was a U.S. based product. I never considered that it was coming out of China or India. I must admit that this was one of the best fraud ads I’ve seen. I rarely watch more than the obligatory 3-4 seconds but this time I was intrigued to the point I checked it out. And yes, the internet can be a blessing or a curse. LoL Again, thanks for all your time. Keep up the great work.
I almost bought 3 of these because I am being eaten alive on my front porch or while I try to bbq. I cant go outside for even a min. When I run to by vehicle they somehow get inside my cab and bite me while I'm driving. My body covered in awful bites and scars. Thanks for the reviews. Saved me lots of $. And by the way I also watched the commercial which I found your video. The kid is probably made up fake name. I also trade Alibaba stock in the stock market and its doing awful because the Chinese government wants to steal from the founder saying they cannot have a Chinese monopoly website. So Alibaba stock is being targeted and I would never ever buy anything from it.
Thanks. There are several other of these products on the market and I am buying and testing each one of them as I see the ads. I just finished the review for the BugMD yesterday, which I saw on a Facebook ad. I have two more similar products on order that I will be testing as soon as they arrive. I hope one actually works because I hate mosquitoes with a passion, but I am not holding my breath after the results of the first two. You can watch my latest bug zapper review here: ruclips.net/video/BlW7tfwYUqU/видео.html
I got an ad on my TV for BuzzKrush, a product supposedly invented by a soldier. I shit you not, while trying to watch this review I got the same ad but it was called "BuzzBug" and replaced "soldier" with "farmer" 😂
It seems they have many ads running around the world or this products. All the same style, but different inventor stories. It is sad that RUclips ill not try to do something about these scammers. I am working on some new videos to expose these scammers as best I can.
Well they got Us. Once it finally arrived from China. We paided like $28 with shipping. Tried it last night for first time and Actually it killed quite a few Bug's. I'm no Bug Expert, but some do look like Mosquitoes..lol Nice Video..😎
Thank you sir. Im sure youve saved (based on views at this time) 121000+ people from getting scammed. Including myself. I definitely was sceptical, but glad to have seen your review. I also love gadgets etc so ill be checking out more of your channel. Good informative video, no BS good job.
My pleasure. Yes, it is good feeling to know that many thousands of people have not fallen victim to this scam as a result of this video. When I made it, I had no idea how many people would watch it. It was a risk I took at the time that has really been more than worth it. I have never actually done another video like this one when I buy a scam product from an ad due to extreme financial difficulties. I pretty much lost everything last year and was technically homeless (not on the street, but without a house of my own to live in). Things have improved this year a little, but I have had to almost abandon making RUclips video as there simply is no income in it due to changes in the way RUclips works now. I still try to put out content when I can though.

Fourth, the contraption is not sold on Amazon, which always has reviews of all products. I imagine they didn't want to sell it on Amazon because they didn't want honest reviews to be posted on it.
Thanks. Actually, I did find it on amazon and ebay, but under very different names. I put warning links in the description to these product pages so people would know that it was the same thing. Please do not buy this item through those links, they are just there to demonstrate that this same product is being sold under many names on different sites. Unless, of course, you just want a really funky-looking rechargeable flashlight/camping light. LOL!
Side note: Last night (4th of July), the mosquitoes were so bad on my deck that we could not even go out to enjoy fireworks. They were unbearably thick. I had company over and I was showing them the FuseBug. I stuck it on my deck for two hours where the mosquitoes were so thick people were running into the house to get away from them. In two hours, it caught ONE mosquito. Not a surprise, but still funny to me considering what the claim about this product is.
RUclips has ads that say kills mosquitos "within 6 minutes", well was that in a glass jar or in a bathroom or outside and did you spray attractant on it :) ? How can you prove that, where is any true data on this thing? To me that is a total baloney claim. The Fuze Bug website just bombards you with advertisement lines about how great it is rather than quality specs or data. The lower sections of the webpage is made up like smoke and mirrors to keep people pumped up about it. That to me shows they have to prop it up, it cannot just stand on it's own and do what it says. In addition, all the reviews on the website are dumb statements about barbequing and being outdoors and having fun rather than the product and they are 5 stars which we all know is not real to life. Once I saw that I knew it was fake and I would not buy. I also went to Amazon to see what people said and I did not find it there.
Mosquitoes aren't attracted to light. Heat and carbon dioxide.
Had to search it after the long ass add
To me a big giveaway was that in the add they claim that they were sold out immediately, then the guy tripled the production, and now they offer a 50% off welcome back discount within the next 4 hours. I've seen a lot of scam products use this method
Oh THANK GOD! I'm a single mother trying to make ends meet and living in Florida where we get mosquitoes in the house that bite us all night. It's getting really bad with over 10 bites each daily! And I was about to pay $40 for this because all I can find are good (fake) reviews. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. 👍👍
Did you find any good bug zapping replacement?
Raid coils work if you can handle the smell.
Buy cotton mosquito nets for bedding. Natural way to stop mosquitoes from entering the net and your bed.
I purchased one without doing any research. The ads really bamboozled me lmao can't believe I fell for it. I knew the moment I looked at the box that I had been swindled. I emailed the company to ask for a refund and they refunded 75 percent of what I paid without having to return it. I honestly feel lucky to get anything back after seeing how shady the advertisements were. The customer service was really fast too. Initiated the refund within one hour of me emailing them.
I gotta say I still think this deserves a lawsuit. After looking at their website it seems they have their bases covered. The fine print says something along the line of we reserve the right to say whatever we want about the product even if it's a lie. They shouldn't get away with it though. They paid Google to make sure the right things show up when searching. A lot of fake reviews that are basically ads and a lot of them are designed to intrigue the skeptical consumer.
Despicable business practices.
Thanks Arden for filling us in I can't believe these companies actually get away with the fine print and making some sort of sweetheart deal with Google there's a huge company like that both been doodling us along with this mosquito-less killer light. This and all those swamp cooler so-called air conditioners have done the same thing lied to us lie to us made us think this was the best thing since sex was created LOL. And there's nothing the FCC or any other consumer products organization can monitor these outright lies and cheating the public I don't know how much this unit cost. But they'll swamp coolers are at least $89. Nothing could be done about it I can't believe the criminal element that comes across so virtuous with these commercials thanks for filling Us in stay well everybody stay safe
What email address did you use. I want to return this piece of crap! So mad at my self for falling for this SCAM!
Agreed
Also a timer for "exclusive" offer to rush you so you don't have time to research.
Mine works great 😳
The ad I saw was called Buzzbug, but same story! It was a college student that was allergic to mosquitoes so he invented this thing… glad I reviewed it before getting one for the cabin lol
Thank you for the review!
Thank you for commenting @atticus13fault. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video.
I just saw that ad on fb & had to look up reviews. This is the first video i saw
The ad I saw called it a bug bulb
I got the _exact_ same Ad except they called it the 'mosqinux flashbeam' in the one I watched lol
Just seen an ad for it but it was called Buzz Krush and it was a Texas farmer who created it because his daughter had been bitten by mosquitoes 30 times and decided to do something about it 🤣 it’s also 50% off
Yea, I totally got scammed. Found this video to figure out exactly what I found out. I paid $40+$10 shipping. Ugh, I can’t believe I fell for that. Thanks for sharing this man
Please try to get your money back. They will give you at a partial refund in most cases. It is worth a try.
I tried them. Major regret. After about 48 hours two mosquitoes died, probably by running into it instead of being zapped. Won't hold a charge. But, they did refund me.
They would not refund me....... You just asked for a refund? I paid $39 + $10 shipping, so I have a $49 flashlight.
@@diamondhair11 Yep, full refund. I suspect different sellers have different refund policies. I've seen the same item peddled by numerous places. We ended up buying a Dynatrap® which works pretty good and has lasted a year now. We had one of the mosqioto magnets that uses propane and it was almost $400 but quit working after the first season. Sorry you couldn't get a refund--I don't know what's more aggravating: mosquitoes or skammers.
I was seconds away from getting scammed. Thank you. The ad I saw was a retired science teacher, 79 years old invented it.
I never comment, but once I saw your video I had to throw some praise your way. You got straight to the point, you told us it's a scam as soon as possible without making us watch the end of the video, very appreciative! Liked and subscribed! :)
Thanks for the sub. Glad you liked it. I generally try to give the ending first because I know people just want an answer. I hope you watched the video at least to the spider part. People get a kick out of that part
Right about the name. I came here after googling reviews for ElectriZap and as you describe in the video, the ad is what really got me. Very well done and yep it was that college kid. So different product name but as you say same product. I am at my wits end with mosquitoes so I am glad I saw this video. I'll just stick to my normal treatments and hope for the best.
Yes, it is on its fith name this year. ElectriZap was last year's name, but they are still running ads for it. The year before it was the BuzzBugg, and before that it was the FuzeBug. This year it is going by two new names. They are calling it the BugBlast Pro, and the ZapTek
Harbor Freight has one like this in gray for $12. No solar panel, but a 4hr charge and it works for crazy hours. Worked GREAT in the tent. Slept with the blue light on hanging from the top of the tent and we didn’t get bit once. It killed all the mosquitoes that’s got it. There was prolly ~20 dead ones and a couple larger bugs dead inside. Think it has to be in an enclosed space.
Thank you for commenting @thesenior2279!
Confirm the brand of the one sold at Harbor Freight.
Thank you
HUGE THANKS, I was desperately hoping it would work, but like you I knew it was suspect from the ad. I was almost willing to gamble the 39 bucks to try it, but thanks to you I don't have to.
I was minutes away from ordering this. So glad I found your review!!! Keep up the great work dude! The old adage "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.
Saw the same video, really caught my attention. Its a good fake ad. I'm glad for this video. It was claiming to be the greatest invention of 2023. So they are keeping that fake ad up to date. They called it buzz bugg. Which seemed like a bad name for something that was supposed to ne that amazing. Great video, thanks for the review. Saved me time and frustrations
My pleasure. I am so glad it helped you. If you want a laugh and have some time, watch my REACT video where I show the ad and telling about all the tricks and lies they are pulling in it. ruclips.net/video/1y6AQPC-X1Y/видео.html
Excellent review! Thank you for being an advocate for the consumers. Scammers should go to jail.
💯👍
Wish I had seen this before buying it. Completely agree with this review>had it out fo the first time on the weekend at the Cottage and not a single mosquito did it kill, or attract to it, Interesting could not find a site that sells this product that allows for reviews and now I know why. Do agree that the flashlight strobe and camping light is very good. I also had this product out on the sun all day and it barely lasted a few hours on the sunlight charge had to recharge it vis the USB cable. DO NOT buy as a mosquito killer does not work
I'm a mosquito magnet. I get bitten in just the few seconds it takes to put the garbage out. I'm left with huge, itchy welts that last for days and even have some scars on my arms, legs and neck from all the scratching of the worst ones over the years. Ironically, I love the outdoors-walking in a park, hiking, biking, and just sitting on the back deck on a nice evening. The mosquitos make these things hard to enjoy, so I was interested in these lamps. Bought 2. Haven't tried them yet, mosquito weather is only now just starting here, but this review has disheartened me. Oh well. The lamps are at least good, rechargeable outdoor lanterns and have a strobe feature which will come in handy for Halloween, as we're big Halloween fans around here.
Just saw this ad. The ad was terrible - you know it's bad when they take 3 minutes spinning yarn before they tell you the name of the product. Figured it was a garbage product but well, never know right? So happy I ran across this video of yours. Thanks for saving me the cash.
Lol same story. 2 years later
Thanks! Unfortunately I fell for it. I live in mosquito ridden Florida so I experimented by putting it out all night on my deck. The next morning there was only one dead mosquito!
Sorry
I'm surprised. I bought this about 2 years ago after seeing the ad and there was a special for $20. I also live in Florida and every time I use it, it's full of all sorts of flying insects. I keep it on my back patio so that I don't die of blood loss when I go out to smoke. I actually pulled it out again tonight after forgetting about it from last fall and after just an hour or so it's covered in bugs.
Thank you very much it’s good to have people like you around making the effort to keep the rest of us safe thanks again
I had my ad blocker off for a day and saw the ad for this thing this morning. I agree it is a good ad, meaning I really wanted it to be true because who doesn't love the college kid living the American dream theme? But then I noticed they were claiming it emitted precisely the right color of UV light to attract mosquitoes, but what they were showing looked like a rainbow of LEDs decorating a medicinal herb vaporizer. One would probably be better off partying with stoned mosquitoes who keep forgetting they were trying to satiate their munchies. As an aside, I know more legit bug zappers use black lights, but why on earth would night feeding insects be attracted to a color of light that is absent at night? Shouldn't the little flying vampires use thermal infrared? Maybe their eyes would have to be too big for their heads? Anyway, thanks for making the video.
Just wanted to say thanks for this. It's weird when you KNOW something is a scam, but you want to believe it because mosquitos are the worst! Thanks for taking the time to make this.
My pleasure. I completely understand. Desperation makes us vulnerable. The scammers know this.
Just saw the ad, the ad was so good I watched the whole thing
Thank you for this review. I just saw an add but instead of Fuze bug it’s called Keilini bug zapper. But it looks exactly the same as the one in your review. I’m always skeptical about online purchases and always look for other reviews and your was the only real one I found that actually tested the product. Thanks for your sacrifice to help others not get scammed.
My pleasure. Glad it helped
Thank you!
I was one click away from getting it, but my gut told me to look for reviews. You're right, the ad and the history are so good, and the marketing is so good that it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!
My pleasure. Glad to help.
Thanks for visiting my channel and watching this video. If you enjoyed it, please punch the 👍 thumbs-up button under the video. If you want to be notified when I release a new video, hit the SUBSCRIBE button, and ding the BELL 🔔. Thanks for the support!
Bless you sir. I consider myself a bit intelligent but definitely prone to lapses of outright dumb. This ad was almost convincing to me, a true bachelor of science.
The good news is that I saved the order confirmation info that had a customer service number, , called it, and filed a complaint. They immediately refunded $113 to my Paypal account. It isn’t the $123 I paid, (they call the difference a restocking fee), but it is a heck of a lot better than losing the entire amount.
Wish I had watched this before I bought 2. Like he said scam. I bought then to protect our newborn from mosquitos that were getting in. I turn on 4 hours nothing. I make dinner and come in. 1 followed me in. 5mins later it flew passed the worthless junk and it was on my babies head. . I set the other 1 outside for few hours. Killed nothing. Also left the one inside on all night and woke up to nothing dead and same mosquito in my house flying around. U also live next to a pound. Save your money. Pos company
@@nighthawk0490 same here!
Thanks NBG .SCAMMERS REALLY BUG ME .
I received this today and bought it to see if it would work for a gnat infestation (which I see from one comment that it does work)...BUT...the instructions don't say how to 'remove the inside to clean'...from what I remember from the ad, the inside is supposed to come out for cleaning! Thanks for any help! Thank you for your video...I hope it works!! Next time, I'll look for reviews before I buy!
It supposed to be water resistant and can be sprayed off with a water hose. I have never tried it, but I have seen videos of people doing it.
Thanks for taking the hit for all of us. Was about to by the package contains 5 of them for 159.
So thank you for saving me some money.
Really appreciate it.
My pleasure. So glad you watched my video and did not fall for this scam.
Thanks for saving us money. It's amazing how well these advertising experts can manipulate Google so well that you have to dig really deep for objective info.
It would have been nice to actually see where you left the device outside overnight. (Forest area). Still, I am glad you gave your honest opinion about the flashlight part of the product. You saved people money.
There are several other videos on my channel that show live in-field footage of this device being tested. If you have trouble finding them, I can provide you with links.
But how can it not work, the GENIUS college student with a perfect SAT score invented it!!!! At least that’s what the RUclips ad told me lol. So many red flags. Pretty much any that is a YT ad I discount as a scam. Good review and funny at the lack of bugs you caught.
Not gonna lie... The ad convinced me and I saved their webpage. Glad I search for reviews. Thank you very much, sir! Much appreciate your honesty and help.
My pleasure. Glad to be of service.
Saw an ad on Twitter for BuzzBugg, and it looked like a scam for 15.95 but I did a search and found this video to confirm. I'm one of those people who is allergic to the protein mosquitoes inject when biting and always on the lookout for anything that might repel. Still looking... Thanks so much for posting.
I am so glad this video was helpful. I am not allergic to mosquito bites, but I have had malaria nine times, so they have a special place of dislike in my heart. I hope one day there is a good solution for them.
Thanks for doing this. We almost got caught too. The Lord bless you!
Thank you. I receive your blessing. May the Lord bless you as well.
I've been using bug zappers for years and to the best of my knowledge I never killed a mosquito. We use large AC powered units occasionally to eliminate nuisance insects. These are harmless bugs that hatch in the spring and make a mess of the house if not controlled. True mosquito killing machines are possible but require replication of a live blood source.
Thanks for commenting. Great information
co2 was the lie i was itold but bc i'm not "sweetmeat" then not to screw with me much. when you see a mosq. tornado coming for you it's tame to head home and rub your pecker. chiggers always got me at least 1 day out of school.
I get bitten 10x more in crowds of thousands. I get bitten in under 30 seconds of being outside in summer. We keep our property managed but can't control neighbors. Thank you for saving me from an impulse buy that wouldn't work. 😔
You're welcome. I am glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you!!! I live in Florida and with all these genetically engineered mosquitoes was seconds away from ordering this product. Again thank you ❤🙋🏼♀️
You are very welcome. I am in the process of producing an updated version of this product, so stay tuned.
I've been getting ads with exactly the same format but for many other random things (like AC, roofing, car econ, etc.). This was another thing I see them for. The ads are these shady computer-voiced explanations of random college students "discovering" things, telling their professors, usually getting expelled from school, and doing these things themselves. I find these kind of ads abominable, and the companies behind these false advertisements should be sued and TAKEN DOWN! Of course, I have no clue if that's possible or even worth it, but people are tricked by the smooth-talking, and somebody is getting money for it.
Exactly! Like you, I have seen several ads that use the same format for all kinds of things. It is sad and disgusting. But, as long as these types of ads are successful, they will keep running them.
There is little to be done other than exposing them like I did here. These ads are coming out of other countries that are outside of US law and enforcement. If a US company were responsible, we could file and FCC complaint and sue them, but since they are not in the US, that is not an option. Google Ad services are the ones running the ads, so there may be something that could be done to Google to encourage them to be more careful of these type of ads, but you have to understand that Google is staffed by people that might not be savvy enough to know that these ads are scams. And there in lies the problem. These ads are good enough to fool the people that would be in the position to weed them out. I know to you and I they are obviously a scam, but the fact that they keep running them means that millions of people do not immediately detect that they are scams. They would not keep running them if they did not work. We would like to think that the people working at Google would be smart enough to know what a scam is, but if you have ever called customer service, you would know better. 😉
Wow!! I just watched the exact ad a few minutes ago about this!! and decided to research about it. thank goodness I found your review!! Ty!!
You're welcome. I am so glad it helped you out.
This one is the same one I I almost bought two! I was seconds away also. And it had a whole different name Electrizap. Whatever happened to the Better Business Bureau how come we can’t stop these deceiving ads I know all advertising is somewhat deceiving but these ones that really make up a whole story!? Thanks for your video.
The sad truth is the company running these ads is in China and the BBB is only for USS based companies. And they change their name constantly, so if you manage to shut one down today, it will be back under a different name tomorrow. Eventually we can only hope for some sort of international treaty to deal with these global scams.
A question, if the box didn't say FuzeBug on it, how do you know it was an official product that the ad promotes?
Because I bought it right off the Fuze Bug website.
@@nothingbutgadgets Roger that. Thanks for the response. Cheers.
This is one of the MAIN reasons why I won't EVER sign up for ANY paid "premium" service offered by youtube. The fact that they allow such blatant false advertising, and deception speaks volumes about where their loyalty lies, and it's not their consumers. Thank you for the review of yet another scam heavily marketed and advertised through youtube.
I agree 💯
Thank you for this video! The ad was definitely convincing. Your video was EXTREMELY VALUABLE!
Love that this review exists. The ad looks like a scam, but we're all so desperate to get rid of the skeeters that we'll try nearly anything. Thank goodness I didn't spend the $!
I am glad you saw this video and did not fall for this scam.
*_I just received mine today. It said it is one of the best ones to get today. I saw that it was $120 but it said on sail for 50%. So I got it and I'm going to try to out today! There have been mosquitos in my house since my uncle has been taking in plants from the backyard. There have been mosquitos in the house hence the moist soil... I'm going to hang it in the hallway and hope that it works. There are 6 of us in the house and we definitely have gotten multiple mosquito bites._*
UPDATE: I should have looked at this review first.... *_I did spent money so I might as well leave in on and hope that it does catch some mosquitos flying in the hallway or around the house._*
👍
I have declared war on the evil mosquitos in my area and almost fell for it. Thank you!
My pleasure. Glad it helped.
Thanks Buddy!
I'm sure you saved a lot of curious people from wasting their money.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My pleasure. I sure hope so.
They got me! I bought 2. The plus is that it is a really good lantern and the solar charger is good. But as a mosquito killer it does not attract a single mosquito.
If you have one, put a piece of dry ice in the lamp and that will attract mosquitoes, then the zapper will kill them. If you want to go through that trouble
You can try to get your money back. In most cases they will give you a 75% refund, and not even require you to send the product back. They actually still make money, because they are paying only $4 a piece for these units.
Thank you !!! You saved my family money much needed to purchase off.
I am a mosquito magnet 😢.
My pleasure. So glad that you did not get taken by these scammers.
Thanks for saving me money! That ad was good, but it said it was “Buzzbug.” These fly by night scam companies are bs.
I am so glad you watched my video before buying this scam device. So far, I have seen this device go by the names, FuzeBug, FuzzBug, BuzzBug, and ElectriZap. Who know how many more name they are marketing this device under.
Mosquitos are mainly attracted by our CO2 and at the latter by our heat.
Thank you for this review!!! I saw this ad last year but I was iffy about whether or not it was a scam. The ads are in full swing again this year so I’m glad I finally did some real research and came across this video!
You are so welcome. I am glad it helped.
Thank you for all the extra effort for keeping us away from the scammers.
My pleasure. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for posting this! I saw the same ad you’re talking about.
I also got scammed by this. Its basically a $40 flashlight. I wish I had seen this review a month ago because I actually went for the 4 pack and it cost me nearly $200. Live and learn if it sounds too good to be true - then it is.
I sent my 3 back, and they don't give you the full refund either, minus $10.00
Never killed any bugs, total scam!
Sorry you got scammed. These scummy companies are just horrible. I do my best to expose them, but they get a lot of people. So sad.
@@nothingbutgadgets Thanks , just wish I watched your video before I bought them.
@@jimturner6131 Same here. Mosquitoes just flew right past it and landed on my leg! Worthless as a bug zapper.
Brought here by that same ad. Thanks for the review! Loved the spider just strolling through 😅😂
As soon as I watched the ad I began researching. Glad I found this video.
I am glad it helped.
Thanks for the info.
I fell for a 4 pack of these, the grid is electrically very "hot" when you test it. (strong zap)
But like you I find the light the most useful thing.
Have had very few bug kills.again same as you.
thanks for making video.
You're welcome. So glad you enjoyed the video.
Thank you for this. I thought it sounded too good to be true. It it was true, they would not be investing on mutsnt mosquitoes etc.
Also the thing that attracts mosquitoes to us the most is out smell and exhaling, not light
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
I never subscribed to anything online, I am a buyer for an organization, I want to give you kudos for your channel, I subscribed!!! Thank you!
PLEASE, don't fell to their possible offer to get out of the web. At the end you will be rewarded. More and better.
Thank you. No worries about them buying me off. A lot of people have already tried and failed. I am here to provide honest unbiased reviews because that is what I want to see myself. Every review I make, that is the guiding principle, "What would I want to see if I were looking for a review."
We got suckered in to buying it. This review is 100% spot on. DO NOT BUY!
Thank you. I am sorry they got you. Go ahead and try to get your money back. Some have gotten at least a partial refund.
Just saw an ad for this and looked it up to find that the name they gave in the ad isn’t listed anywhere and instead it’s going by several different names
Yeah, each year they add a new name, but it is still the same product.
I am one of the fools that bought 4!! I bought it in April (preparing for mosquito season which hadn’t started). Used it on a camping trip. This gentleman is 100% correct. The only thing beneficial is the flashlight. Collected exactly ZERO bugs!! Steer clear.
Sorry to hear they got you. You could try getting your money back. Sometimes they will give a partial refund.
Did you try to return them?
@@effthamatrix I have not but a lot of my viewers have been successful in getting up to a 75% refund. It is worth a try.
@@thejungleexplorer I’ll give it a whirl, tks 😃
Im here because of a youtube add for ElectriZap literally the same device now a year after your video. They are now charging $40 i found one on ebay for $13.
Yep. The just renamed it recently to ElectriZap
I came here after watching the ad, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Thank for the review
Glad you came here first. These scammers get so many people. 😢
Man single handedly took probably over a million dollars from this company by spending 60 bucks. You're a saint good sir
Thanks. I hope I have saved that many people from these scammers. I am no saint. Just a sinner saved by grace.
I'm so glad I happened to come across your video. I wanted to buy 6 for my family members. Saved me a bundle. Thank you so much!
My pleasure. I am glad you found my video before it was too late.
Thank you for this. I made a purchase after visiting the ad from RUclips, but not before reading some reviews. After submitting my purchase I looked at more reviews and noticed how copy-paste they all seemed. Looked for a video review and here I am. Immediately called to cancel my order and to nobodies surprise, it didn't give any identifier as to what company I'd just called and the person on the other side of the phone sounded much like that of notable scamming... lineage. Sorry if that sounds insensitive. Letting my card service know to watch out for me and not let these payments go through.
My pleasure. I hope you get your money back. Good thinking calling your credit card company.
Thank you for your review. Like many others, I was very close to buying one but the other reviews didn't seem like real reviews.Glad I found yours!
Thank you! I was surely going to buy it. I live in the Mississippi Delta and I’m desperate for anything that’ll work! 😢
I know how you feel. I wish it was true and did what it claimed too.
The YT ads for these things all follow the same format, young man with a degree in something has an idea, attracts investment, partners with a team of engineers and markets a brilliant world beating device . . leaving you with the feeling you’ve seen it all before somewhere.
Yep. In the old days they called it "Snake Oil Salesmen".
I suffer from the exact allergy described in the ad. I wanted to look at a review just to confirm it was a scam.
In the ad that I got called it “Electrizap”… thank you for this!
My pleasure. Glad it helped you.
I watched this video 30 minutes after I purchased 4 and 2 watches. I called customer service and canceled my order. Thanks.
My pleasure. Glad it helped
Originally I thought this video was another version of the scam. Thanks for the review. We camp a lot and I was considering it because my wife and daughter get eaten alive. You saved me $$. Job well done.
The spider commentary is brilliant. 🤣🤣
Thanks.
Unfortunately, I have not found any device that actually works, and I have tried many, all the way up to hundreds of dollars for devices claimed to be used on military bases. There some devices that do attract mosquitoes, but they use propane and chemical attractant s to work, and even then, do not eliminate enough mosquitoes to be worth their cost.
On a side note, I just order a couple more similar devices that I saw new ads for. I will be testing them and doing reviews for them in the near future.
Love how you get right to the point, great videos
Thank you for commenting @grace-mayhewson233. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video.
Super appreciate this. It was a good ad, but I won’t buy that stuff unless I look offsite for more info first. Thank you!
My pleasure. So glad it helped.
Thanks for the video. I was at the Checkout window for this device, but i was so skeptical of this item that i needed to look into this more.
I was definitely about to impulse buy but something told me to look up if it even works. I have bug zappers and they're amazing for overall insects but I was looking for something specific to mosquitos.
Lol that spider was a boss…. Thanks for the review, but the spider was the best part of the video…
Thanks. Yeah, that was cool. I did not see him there until after I was done editing and rendering the video, and was just reviewing it for mistakes. When I saw him there, I was like, "This is too good! I have to do something with that!". I am also a nature photographer and take a lot of macros of plants and insects, so I found that picture of that spider to use. If you would like to see more of my nature photography work you can visit my profile on Adobe: stock.adobe.com/contributor/208198523/the-nature-guy

Came to confirm my suspicions. Thank you! Great review. Hope you & the spider are doing well. 😂
My pleasure. Glad to be of service.
I have an as seen on TV version of this. Not sure if it work but I stuck a screwdriver into the grid when it was on and it made a good spark.
👍
No Joke. Almost fell for it. But, I just thought "Scam, scam, scam" and decided to google some reviews. Thank you sir.

That’s the reason why I don’t purchase from ANY ads on RUclips for gadgets or miracle pills etc. scammers are getting very crafty. And they get your credit card info that way.
Good point! 👍
Great vid. Thanks. These criminals should be prosecuted for spreading so many lies. I assumed it was a scam but the commercial was so compelling. It makes me angry seeing what these miscreants will do to defraud the gullible. Thanks again!
I am glad to do it. I only hope more people see this video and are not fooled.
@@nothingbutgadgets Spending almost $70 and the many hours to produce this video just to help those who would likely get scammed, is exemplary. It’s people like you who make this country great. Thanks again. But I truly don’t understand why these scammers cannot be prosecuted for fraud.
@@JosephusAD70 It is very upsetting, but it is a sad fact of reality in the world we live in. The issue with prosecuting these scam companies is that they are in foreign countries. The US has consumer protection laws, but those laws only apply to the US. The US has no authority to enforce them outside of our borders. The internet, however, has no borders. So that is the problem. We live in a world that is divided by sovereign borders, but we are interacting as a global community without borders on the internet.
The US cannot send the police to China or Kenya to arrest a scammer. The most they can do is ask that country to go after the scammer. However, from an economic standpoint, scammers are good for foreign countries, because they bring in billions of dollars in revenue to the country's economy. In a lot of cases, the scamming is done with the country's blessing, or it is officials within the government that are actually heading up the scamming operations. That is the sad reality of the situation.
The best we can do right now is to make wise choices about the products we buy. The internet is a powerful tool. Like any powerful tool, it can be used for good or bad. Some use it for evil; I try to use it for good.
@@nothingbutgadgets I assumed incorrectly that this was a U.S. based product. I never considered that it was coming out of China or India. I must admit that this was one of the best fraud ads I’ve seen. I rarely watch more than the obligatory 3-4 seconds but this time I was intrigued to the point I checked it out. And yes, the internet can be a blessing or a curse. LoL Again, thanks for all your time. Keep up the great work.
Just saw the ad. Thanks for the thorough review!
I almost bought 3 of these because I am being eaten alive on my front porch or while I try to bbq. I cant go outside for even a min. When I run to by vehicle they somehow get inside my cab and bite me while I'm driving. My body covered in awful bites and scars. Thanks for the reviews. Saved me lots of $. And by the way I also watched the commercial which I found your video. The kid is probably made up fake name. I also trade Alibaba stock in the stock market and its doing awful because the Chinese government wants to steal from the founder saying they cannot have a Chinese monopoly website. So Alibaba stock is being targeted and I would never ever buy anything from it.
Thanks. There are several other of these products on the market and I am buying and testing each one of them as I see the ads. I just finished the review for the BugMD yesterday, which I saw on a Facebook ad. I have two more similar products on order that I will be testing as soon as they arrive.
I hope one actually works because I hate mosquitoes with a passion, but I am not holding my breath after the results of the first two. You can watch my latest bug zapper review here: ruclips.net/video/BlW7tfwYUqU/видео.html
I got an ad on my TV for BuzzKrush, a product supposedly invented by a soldier. I shit you not, while trying to watch this review I got the same ad but it was called "BuzzBug" and replaced "soldier" with "farmer" 😂
It seems they have many ads running around the world or this products. All the same style, but different inventor stories. It is sad that RUclips ill not try to do something about these scammers. I am working on some new videos to expose these scammers as best I can.
I sorta figured it was a scam but had to be sure. Thanks for the info and salute to your sacrifice.
I did buy one and I fell for the ad. It doesn`t work! Thank you for letting people know!!
Thank you for commenting @nogoodwolf! I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you were able to get your money back.
Thank you for the review. They should sell big in Florida since it's the Rip-Off-State anyhow.
Never heard that about Florida, but I did live there over 40 years ago. 😂
Well they got Us. Once it finally arrived from China. We paided like $28 with shipping. Tried it last night for first time and Actually it killed quite a few Bug's. I'm no Bug Expert, but some do look like Mosquitoes..lol Nice Video..😎
It will kill any bug that flies into it, but will it eliminate all mosquitoes in a 600 square foot area in minutes like the ad claims. Nope!
Wow... i almost purchased it. Now, I don't need to waste money on it. Thanks.
Good going Glad it helped.
Thank you!! The ad was really good like you said and I thought it was a scam too. Thank you for saving us money!!! 😊
My pleasure. So glad it helped.
Thank you sir. Im sure youve saved (based on views at this time) 121000+ people from getting scammed. Including myself. I definitely was sceptical, but glad to have seen your review. I also love gadgets etc so ill be checking out more of your channel. Good informative video, no BS good job.
My pleasure. Yes, it is good feeling to know that many thousands of people have not fallen victim to this scam as a result of this video. When I made it, I had no idea how many people would watch it. It was a risk I took at the time that has really been more than worth it. I have never actually done another video like this one when I buy a scam product from an ad due to extreme financial difficulties. I pretty much lost everything last year and was technically homeless (not on the street, but without a house of my own to live in). Things have improved this year a little, but I have had to almost abandon making RUclips video as there simply is no income in it due to changes in the way RUclips works now. I still try to put out content when I can though.
We do appreciate it! Thank you! I saw that add too, very believable. I was looking to get this, glad I didn’t.
My pleasure. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
