frequently asked questions
FAQ
How does the Tkhotpick Bug Zapper work?
How does the Tkhotpick Bug Zapper work?
Tkhotpick charges during the day using its built-in solar panel. After dark, the UV light turns on and attracts mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and other flying bugs toward the unit. Once they hit the electric grid, they get zapped on contact.
Is this just another tiny bug zapper?
Is this just another tiny bug zapper?
No. Tkhotpick is built for outdoor bug zones — patios, yards, porches, doors, gardens, BBQ areas, pool areas, and outdoor seating spaces. It’s made for the places bugs actually take over, not just a tiny indoor-style zapper sitting in the corner.
Will solar power actually be strong enough?
Will solar power actually be strong enough?
Yes. Tkhotpick is designed to charge during the day and run at night when bugs are most active. For best results, place it where the solar panel gets direct sunlight during the day so it can power up fully before dusk.
How long does it run at night?
How long does it run at night?
A full charge gives you approximately 6–8 hours of nighttime use, depending on sunlight, placement, and weather conditions.
Where should I place it?
Where should I place it?
Place Tkhotpick near the areas bugs usually gather — patios, back doors, grass edges, gardens, pool areas, BBQ zones, campsites, RV areas, or outdoor seating spaces. For best results, place it a short distance away from where people are sitting so bugs are pulled toward the unit instead of your table or chairs.
Does it need an outlet or extension cord?
Does it need an outlet or extension cord?
No. Tkhotpick is solar powered and cordless. You don’t need an outlet, extension cord, wiring, or complicated setup. Just place it where you need coverage and let it charge in the sun.
Is it better than sprays, candles, or yard treatments?
Is it better than sprays, candles, or yard treatments?
Tkhotpick gives you a cleaner, reusable outdoor setup. No sticky spray before sitting outside. No candles around food. No monthly yard treatment schedule. No small plug-in zapper stuck near an outlet. Just solar-powered bug control you can place where bugs actually show up.
Which size should I choose?
Which size should I choose?
Choose the 15W Standard Size for smaller patios, balconies, garden corners, doorways, and compact outdoor spaces.
Choose the 30W Full Size for larger patios, backyards, BBQ areas, pool areas, outdoor seating zones, and bigger outdoor bug zones.
For most customers with a backyard, patio, or multiple outdoor areas, the 30W Full Size is the better choice.
Why would I need more than one?
Why would I need more than one?
Bugs don’t stay in one place. Many customers use multiple units around different zones — like the patio, back door, pool area, garden, BBQ area, or side yard — so more of the outdoor space is covered.
Is it good for BBQs, patio dinners, and guests?
Is it good for BBQs, patio dinners, and guests?
Yes. Tkhotpick is built for the outdoor spaces people actually use — patios, grill areas, decks, pool areas, and backyard seating zones. Set it up before guests arrive so your backyard feels more prepared once bugs start coming out.
Can I use it around kids and pets?
Can I use it around kids and pets?
Yes. Tkhotpick gives you a spray-free, candle-free way to handle flying bugs around outdoor areas your family uses. Place it away from direct contact, food, and heavy foot traffic, then let it work in the background.
Can it stay outside in the rain?
Can it stay outside in the rain?
Tkhotpick is built for outdoor use throughout bug season. For best long-term performance, place it where it can drain properly, avoid leaving it submerged in standing water, and keep the solar panel clear so it can charge during the day.
How do I clean it?
How do I clean it?
Turn the unit off before cleaning. Use a soft brush, dry cloth, or gentle rinse to clear out dead bugs and keep the grid area open. Regular cleaning helps Tkhotpick keep working at full strength throughout the season.
