Do bug zappers work on flies?

I’ve been thinking of getting a bug zapper for the upcoming BBQ season. Do these things actually work on flies? Or just mozzies?

I think bug zappers can work on flies too, but they’re not as attracted to the light as mosquitoes are. You’d probably end up zapping more moths and beetles.

Totally agree. Flies aren’t as easily tricked by the light, especially during the day. Might have better luck with those UV light traps designed specifically for flies.

It’s all about placement! Near food and trash areas, you’ll zap tons of them. Better than having them all over your guests, just my two cents.
