Have you ever spent sleepless nights itching from mosquito bites? If so, you know just how much of a nuisance mosquitoes and flying insects can be. That’s why a bug zapper—like your Clevast Bug Zapper—feels like a lifesaver. But here’s the catch: to keep it working at its best, you’ll need to clean it. The good news? Cleaning a bug zapper is quick, simple, and easier than you think.
Actually, once you get used to it, you'll be wondering why you didn't do it earlier. Let us guide you through the easy steps so that you can maintain your zapper at its best.
Why Cleaning Your Bug Zapper Matters

Consider your bug zapper as a vacuum cleaner. It works the unpleasant stuff for you, but it won't work effectively if you don't drain it. Insects accumulate in the tray and on the grid over time. This can:
- Decrease its effectiveness at drawing and electrocuting bugs
- Make it look less attractive (and let's be honest, a bug-covered tray isn't the most pleasant to look at)
- Shorten the lifespan of your device if not cleaned
A simple cleanup every now and then guarantees your Clevast Bug Zapper keeps on working—freeing your nights from bugs and disturbances.
Safety First: Precautions to Keep in Mind Before You Begin
Before you reach for that brush, a quick reminder:
⚠️ Unplug the bug zapper before cleaning. Safety first, always!
⚠️ Don’t wait too long. For best results, clean out dead insects regularly so they don’t pile up.
Step-by-Step: Cleaning Your Clevast Bug Zapper

Cleaning your Clevast bug zapper is simpler than you may think. Here's the step-by-step:
- Unplug the bug zapper: Always cut off power before touching the device.
- Brush the grid: Use the included brush (or a soft cleaning brush) to gently sweep away any insects stuck on the grid.
- Remove the tray: At the bottom of the zapper, you’ll find a removable tray where insects collect. Slide it out carefully.
- Clean the tray: Empty the insects into the trash, then wash the tray with mild soap and water.
- Dry completely: Make sure the tray is fully dry before putting it back in place.
That is it! Easy, fast, and your bug zapper will be ready to go back to work.
How Frequently Should You Clean a Bug Zapper?
It will depend on the frequency of its use and the number of insects present around your area. In the mosquito season or if you're using your bug zapper every night, you may need to clean it weekly or every other week. If you're using it minimally, a once-a-month clean would be enough.
