I purchased a 3 pack Blue Light Insect Killer for £20 when my old
fluorescent tube killer packed up. The units plug directly into 3-pin
UK sockets without a lead and use LEDs. After a week of use they
haven't caught a single insect although there are plenty around. They
make attractive night lights, but for killing insects they are
completely ineffective. If you want to remove insects I would
recommend a conventional fluorescent tube killer.

Didn't you read the instructions?
You're supposed to use it to squash the insects against the window.
The light/mains plug is so you can keep it handy and find it in the dark .

Doh!

I've got a few insect catching plants. They work well.
Trouble is there haven't been many insects indoors this
year. Last weekend when the flying ants appeared, I
put them outside for a good meal.

I have got an electric insectocutor in the bedroom but
haven't used it for some time. It works, but you get
woken up throughout the night with the sound of
Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz-phut
