A Buzbug LED bug zapper was among the equipment I bought for camping with the van. Here are three electric zapper formats to compare.
The featured Amazon option is LED Mosquito Zapper.
Where it fits my build
My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.
I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes
The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.
The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.
I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The LED option and the Buzbug MA015 have broad grilles and carrying handles. The Flowtron uses an outdoor hanging housing; its setting and physical shape distinguish it from the indoor MA015 option.
Buzbug MA015 Indoor Bug Zapper
The Buzbug MA015 uses a wide grille around its lights and electric grid. Its indoor format combines a carrying handle with a broad base.
This Flowtron unit combines a UV lamp with an electric grid in an outdoor hanging housing. It includes an octenol lure as a separate part of the insect-attraction setup.
