Just saw the buzzbug ad on RUclips for the first time and I don't normally watch long commercials, but it was indeed a slick commercial, so googled reviews and found your two videos on it. Good job informing people about this scam!
The light-emitting bug killers only work on moths and other small bugs that are attracted to light. If you want to kill mosquitoes, try looking for devices that emit CO2. Mosquitoes and other blood-sucking insects are attracted to the outgoing breath from humans (which contains CO2).
My pleasure. I just recently made a REACT video for the ad you might find funny. I cover many of the tricks the pull to deceive you in it. Here is the video. ruclips.net/video/1y6AQPC-X1Y/видео.html
I guess the one on ya right. Oh and I guessed that before you told us. 🤣😂 I appreciate y'all, it's awesome you take your own time and money to show us scams. I know a lot of people fall for those, "Do this awesome thing and live forever", advertisements, of course all worded differently. We need y'all in a consumer control group to prevent these money grabbers from scamming honest people.
I could tell it was a scam when the commercial called it "Fuze Bug", but the link in the ad said "The Bug Slugger". lmao. Big mistake on their part. I said to myself, they don't even know the name of the product they are selling, there's no way this is legit.
Anyone who knows anything about Chinese manufacturing know that the only difference is the name of the brand. The same warehouse manufacturers the exact same product for several different brands and they're all the same. From bug zappers to led lights to vape carts and everything in between.
this is very true in general. But not all are made to the same specs. If you go on Alibaba, you can deal directly with these factories and see what these Chinese factories offer. Most of their sale pages say that they can customized the product to the wholesaler's specifications.
Not all that look the same are made in the same or by the same manufacturer. For no-name OEM products there can be a big variety of internals for nearly identical casings.
I find it funny that a video on a scam device I got an ad for another scam device lol. It was called the “brightfire” lighter that somehow runs “only on electricity” while actually running on butane.
I remember seeing the comercial for BuzzBug then months later the same comercial but now named FuzeBug. Same comercial libeled to both products. Makes me question both
Great video, I don't understand how is it that the one with the solar panel not only didn't kept working after the sun came up, but also didn't last as long as the one without it.
Actually, the one with the solar panel that I ordered straight from FuzeBug (called BuzzBug this year) for $60 has completely stopped working, and the one that I got off of Wish.com for $10 is still working just fine. I use it as a flashlight and a camping light, not as a bug killer.
I suspect that devices emitting CO2 will work a lot better to attract and kill mosquitoes than devices emitting a light. Mosquitoes are attracted to the outgoing breath coming from the mouths of humans (and other animals). Same goes for bedbugs too, which also depend on blood meals to survive. Moths and other small flying insects that are not mosquitoes are attracted to light. Think of how tiny bugs come to your computer monitor at night in the summertime. This explains why the devices tested here killed other bugs, instead of mosquitoes.
These would be ok for a southern home (in North America to those not in the US). Those of us who like to open windows could put one in a room and maybe mitigate the bug problem a bit. I'd get the $20 one though, haha.
If you really wanna attract and kill mosquitoes (rather than other types of small bugs and moths), look for a device that emits CO2. Mosquitoes and other insects that feed on blood are attracted to the outgoing breath of humans (which contains CO2). Same goes for bedbugs, which is why CO2 bedbug traps work well.
You know it's a scam when there's a pop up for discounts .. *60% discount + 15% OFF applied. This code expires in: **02:19**. Please do not leave this page!* And it just resets when you refresh. They're trying to make you feel the urgency to buy first, think later.
Are all those repackaged products and ads come from the same company? The wifi booster, the desktop air conditioners, the small miracle heater that just plugs into an outlet?
Most Chinese products are produced in the same factory and sold under several different brands. You can work directly with these factories through Alibaba.com. On Alibaba you can order products in large quantities and have the product customized to your specifications.
Is this the same thing as true BuzzBugg? They look similar, but supposedly there is a new 2023 model. Would love to see a comparison video between the two.
They are all the same identical product, regardless of the name. There is no such things as as New Updated Model. It is just sales pitch and mumbo jumbo.
Really? I thought I had put an end to that ad last year. Maybe I need to do another scam exposed video. I'll keep an eye out for the ad and try to record it.
Yep. And they are running ads for this device under several other brand names as well. One commenter said that one ad they saw claimed the the device was invented by Elon Musk. 😂
Yes, I agree. I just ordered another one to make a new updated video to expose these people more. RUclips does not seem to care, so I have to try to make the public aware of this scam.
Neither of these is the BuzzBugg. Title of this is misleading. I was looking for a review of the BuzzBugg. You should change this. Additional comment: this could have been a lot shorter. Who needed to know about katydid vultures.
Poor test. You didn't stipulate where you were? What time of year? And weather conditions such as a drought period. Mosquitoes will breed in very small amounts of stagnant water but during prolonged drought they cannot breed.

Considering this device, but first. Does this device also attract and kill the Butterflies, Bumblebees, Honeybees and other beneficial insects??
No. Those are all diurnal (daytime) insects, so this device poses no threat to them. It barley poses a threat to nocturnal insects. Lol 😂
Im mad this video existed for me to watch it this long😊
Just saw the buzzbug ad on RUclips for the first time and I don't normally watch long commercials, but it was indeed a slick commercial, so googled reviews and found your two videos on it. Good job informing people about this scam!
My pleasure. So glad it was helpful.
Thanks for this. The ad had a convincing script, but there was something fishy about it.
You're welcome. Glad it helped you.
Biggest red flag is saying that it's 50% off for only the next 24 hours and the price could increase at any moment. Massive red flag.
Lol was it the one that said it was developed at a university by an engineering student with a deadly allergy to mosquitoes?😂
Very fishy. Not to mention that 50% off $60 is evidently $40....
The ad was convincing so thanks for saving me not only $60 but summer mosquito agony, too!
My pleasure. So glad it helped.

Thanks man. I do my best.
Thanks for the review and saving us money. I had a feeling it was a scam but wanted it confirmed.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed it
Wow and I just ordered two of them
@@tremarrimorris75 How did that go? Did they even work? (Or maybe you returned them immediately.)
I could tell it was a scam when the commercial called it "Fuze Bug", but the link in the ad said "The Bug Slugger". lmao. Big mistake on their part. I said to myself, they don't even know the name of the product they are selling, there's no way this is legit.
Yep. They can't keep their scam straight. Lol!

Believe it or not they have run ads on this video for the same device that this video exposes. It's crazy.
Thanks for that. My understanding is that mosquitoes are ONLY attracted to CO2, so a CO2 trap should be used if that is the target?
you're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
I saw that ad and clicked it and saw they were selling it for only $150, which was 50% off lol
I remember seeing the comercial for BuzzBug then months later the same comercial but now named FuzeBug. Same comercial libeled to both products. Makes me question both
This year commenters have said it also being called the ElectriZap, and in the last month ZapTek

@@nothingbutgadgets Wow, that is ironic! Perhaps you could add this fact at the end of your video?
All of these lights attracts some bugs and kill them. But none of them kill’s mosquitoes!! None.
Therefore, using lights like these one isn’t the way.
You are correct. I make these videos to help people that do not know this.

Thanks for helping me NOT waste my money 🙏🏽🎯
Thank you for commenting @mrjay2367! I am so glad the video was helpful.
THANK YOU for 3 days of testing.

They do kill bugs, they just do not attract mosquitoes.

@@hikikomoriarty Never thought of that. It sounds like it would be pretty effective.

And it just resets when you refresh. They're trying to make you feel the urgency to buy first, think later.
Exactly correct.
LOL @ the katydid. Smart bug.
Yep.
I love how much dedication you put into getting good data for the nighttime tests. THIS is the Nobel-worthy work right here!
Thank you. I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
VERY thorough sir. Well done
Thank you.
I purchased the one on the right, and it did nothing. It is a cute light for outside, nothing more.
Yep. They are good rechargeable lights.
Zaptek is the new repackaged one for 2024. Ads are circulating all over now that it's spring again.
Are all those repackaged products and ads come from the same company? The wifi booster, the desktop air conditioners, the small miracle heater that just plugs into an outlet?
Most Chinese products are produced in the same factory and sold under several different brands. You can work directly with these factories through Alibaba.com. On Alibaba you can order products in large quantities and have the product customized to your specifications.
The one with the Shinier box is from wish because its photo paper !
Naw, It was just a newer box and I did not tale care of the box that came with the FuzeBug.
Same here, just got the ad and thought I'd investigate! The results remind me of the great Neil Young song, "Piece of Crap!" 😆
Yep.
Thank you for the info brother. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤙🏼💫
Thank you for commenting @jorgejnr7902! I am so glad the video was helpful.

They are all the same identical product, regardless of the name. There is no such things as as New Updated Model. It is just sales pitch and mumbo jumbo.
Today, in May, 2022, I saw a Fuze Bug ad again, so they're gearing up to continue the scam this summer.
Really? I thought I had put an end to that ad last year. Maybe I need to do another scam exposed video. I'll keep an eye out for the ad and try to record it.
Considering buying but i want to be sure it does not also kill the Butterflies, Honeybees and such. We need more of those not less.
Yep. And they are running ads for this device under several other brand names as well. One commenter said that one ad they saw claimed the the device was invented by Elon Musk. 😂
So they used a "my daughter almost died from bites and dad wasnt having it so he invented a great product " ad .. thats evil
Yes, I agree. I just ordered another one to make a new updated video to expose these people more. RUclips does not seem to care, so I have to try to make the public aware of this scam.
So which gadget can I buy that will kill mosquitoes??
Unfortunately, there is no chemical free device that works.
Super informative thank you😊
My pleasure. Glad it helped.
Thank you SO much!!!❤
My Pleasure. So glad it helped you.
class action lawsuit for lying?
Yes, but the company is in China, so,.......
Thanks for being so thorough
My pleasure. I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for saving me money!!!
My pleasure. I am so glad it helped you.
Thank you.
Is this the same as the ElectriZap? Thanks.
Yes, it is the same device. They just change the name every year. My Pleasure. Glad it helped.
What is the best for mosquito?
Unfortunately, Deet is the only thing I know of that really works.
Thank you 👍🙏
👍
this was a total waste of money.. bought one and it would have cheaper to buy a spray on bug repellent for 4 dollars
Yep, that is a pretty good assessment
Lol RUclips still playing the buzz bug scam videos.
Yep. Crazy
thanks - very helpful
My pleasure. Glad to help

Here is something about the buzzbug
ruclips.net/video/1y6AQPC-X1Y/видео.html
Snake oil, does not work
Thank you for commenting @jamiemacneil7850!
You should charge the $60 to the previous ignorant commenters.
👍 I think those comments were probably by a person promoter trying to convince people my video is wrong.
thanks, just saved me $60
My pleasure. Do glad it helped.
Maybe all the mosquitoes around died in the first two nights 😅😅
You never know! 😜
Save your money people!
👍
I kills bugs, I might get a 10$ one just for a small big zapper for any fuckers who make it in from my balcony lol
It function better as s flashlight and a lamp than a bug zapper.
Poor test. You didn't stipulate where you were? What time of year? And weather conditions such as a drought period. Mosquitoes will breed in very small amounts of stagnant water but during prolonged drought they cannot breed.
There were plenty of mosquitoes.
Thanks! Now I know not to buy.
My pleasure
Anyone using it?
I use them for the light, but that is it.
Thank you😊
My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it.
