Mosqinux Killamp is a light bulb-style insect zapper. It screws into a standard socket, gives off ambient light, and uses UV light to draw flying insects into a low-current electric grid. Below we look at what it can realistically do, where it falls short, and who should consider it.
You'll go to the official Mosqinux Killamp page. Pricing starts at about $49.95, with lower per-bulb prices on multi-packs. Confirm shipping and refund terms there before ordering.
How we assessed it
We read the seller's product page, compared the stated features with how UV insect traps are known to work, and looked at published entomology research on light traps and mosquitoes. We did not run our own lab or field test, so we don't give it a performance score. We tell you what the evidence supports and what it doesn't.

What it is, and what it isn't
It is
- A chemical-free way to cut down light-attracted flying insects in a small, enclosed or covered space
- A bulb that doubles as a regular light source
It isn't
- A whole-yard mosquito solution
- A substitute for repellent, screens or public-health measures where mosquito-borne illness is a concern
What the "95%" claim means
The sales page says it gets rid of "95% of mosquitoes." We found no independent test behind that number. Treat it as marketing, not a measured result. Real-world results depend heavily on the space, competing light sources and the insects present.
What research says about UV zappers
UV zappers are good at killing light-attracted insects such as moths, gnats and some flies. Mosquitoes, however, are drawn mainly to carbon dioxide, body heat and skin odors rather than light, so studies of electric UV traps generally find that mosquitoes make up only a small share of what they catch. Expect a zapper bulb to help most with general flying bugs, and only partly with mosquitoes.
Who it suits
Good fit
- Bedrooms, kitchens and small covered porches
- People who prefer a chemical-free option
- Anyone who wants to replace an existing bulb rather than add a device
Poor fit
- Large open yards
- Areas with mosquito-borne disease risk (use proven protection)
- Spots where children or pets can reach the bulb
Safety and upkeep
- Mount it out of reach of children and pets; don't touch the grid.
- Switch off and let it cool before cleaning.
- There is no collection tray, so dead insects fall below; plan placement accordingly.
- Check the outdoor/wet-location rating before using it in exposed areas.
Pros and cons
What we like
- No sprays or odors
- Fits a standard socket
- Dual-purpose lighting
- Affordable entry point
What to keep in mind
- Mosquitoes are only weakly drawn to light
- Limited coverage area
- No catch tray
- "95%" claim is unverified
How to get the most out of it
- Place it a few meters away from where people sit, so insects are drawn away from you.
- Turn off competing lights nearby.
- Combine it with window screens and by emptying standing water around the home.
Price and refunds
Pricing starts at about $49.95, with multi-unit packages usually offered at a lower per-bulb price. Shipping costs, available countries and refund terms can change, so confirm them on the official order page before buying and keep your order confirmation.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work outdoors?
Somewhat, on covered porches and patios. In open spaces its effect is minimal.
Is it noisy?
It makes an audible snap when an insect hits the grid; otherwise it runs quietly.
Is it safe to use around people?
Yes, when mounted out of reach. Avoid contact with the grid, and keep it away from children and pets.
Will it protect me from mosquito-borne diseases?
No device like this should be relied on for that. Follow local public-health guidance and use proven repellents and screens.
The verdict
Mosqinux Killamp is an affordable, chemical-free way to reduce light-attracted flying insects indoors and on covered porches. It is less effective against mosquitoes than its marketing suggests, and its coverage is limited. If you go in with realistic expectations, it can be a useful extra layer alongside screens and repellent.
An affordable extra layer for small indoor and covered spaces. This verdict comes from a desk review of the seller's information and published research on UV insect traps. It is not a customer rating and not the result of hands-on testing.
