Every time the seasons shift, I get the itch.

You know the one—where you suddenly want to clean everything out, open the windows, and
pretend you’re someone who refreshes throw pillows seasonally on purpose. I swap out the
heavy textures for linen and cotton, bring in some fresh greenery, and fill donation bags like it’s
my part-time job.

Summer feels like golden hour dinners, slower schools-out mornings, and…yep, flying bugs.
No matter how clean or curated a space is, somehow the moment it starts warming up, here
come the fruit flies. Hovering around your bananas, circling the trash can, doing laps around
your plants. It’s that annoying, invisible houseguest you didn’t invite. I got my first Zevo about 2 years ago and I will never go back.

Why I Gave Zevo a Shot

Okay real talk—I’m really not a clutter person. Steve would put every appliance out on the
counter if I let him but I like my home to feel calm and simple. If something’s going to plug into
my wall and take up space, it better earn its place.

But after way too many “ugh, not another” moments while swatting fruit flies away from the fruit
bowl, I started looking into solutions. My best of friends insisted on the Zevo Flying Insect
Trap, and what caught my attention was how low maintenance it claimed to be. No sprays. No
buzzing. No gross sticky traps. Just a clean, quiet plug-in that handles the bug situation without
adding chaos.

So I tried it. And now it’s a permanent part of my home for the past 2 years.

How It Actually Works

Once you plug Zevo in, it starts working right away. It uses a combo of blue and UV light that
attracts all the tiny, annoying bugs—fruit flies, gnats, house flies, the whole crew.

What I love most? It’s discreet. The light is soft (almost like a nightlight) and there’s no sound or
mess. You won’t notice it’s doing anything… until you peek at the cartridge and realize it
definitely is.

And when it’s full? You just pop in a refill cartridge. No difficult setups or full replacements. It’s
one of the very few home products that actually works behind the scenes without becoming
another thing on my to-do list.

Where I Put Mine (And Why They Work)

After some trial and error, I figured out my dream setup. If you’re thinking of trying Zevo, start
here:

• By the fruit bowl – Bugs love summer fruit as much as any of us. I plugged one into the outlet right next to my fruit bowl and boom, instant difference.
• Near the back door – We leave this open a lot for indoor/outdoor flow, and you know what comes with that. I added a trap here and noticed fewer bugs sneaking in.
• Next to my plant shelf – Anyone who’s dealt with gnats around houseplants knows the struggle. The Zevo near plants will stop that cycle cold.

Bonus points: it actually blends in with my neutral aesthetic and doesn’t scream, “Look, I’m a
bug trap!”

What Surprised Me Most

Within 48 hours, I checked the cartridge and was shocked at how many bugs it had caught.
Like, where were they all hiding?? It reminded me of vacuuming a rug and seeing just how
much was secretly in there. Gross.

It felt oddly satisfying knowing I didn’t have to lift a finger—just plug it in, let it do its thing, and
enjoy the peace of mind.

Easy to Find, Easy to Keep Using

You can grab the Zevo trap online or in-store at Target, Walmart, or Amazon. It comes with a
cartridge already in it, so all you have to do is plug it in. When it’s full, just replace the cartridge
(they sell refills separately). It’s seriously that simple.

It’s now part of my summer reset routine—right up there with the donation pile and sprucing up
the entryway table. Except this one works while I’m doing everything else.

Little Details That Won Me Over

• It works 24/7 – Even when I’m running errands or just curled up reading Onyx Storm, I know it’s quietly doing its job.
• It gave me back my peace – I didn’t realize how much mental energy I was wasting on bug frustration until I didn’t have to anymore.
• It blends right in – No bright colors, no clunky design. It just…fits.

If you’re into clean, minimal, functional home additions that actually do something, this is one of
those unexpectedly brilliant little upgrades. It handles the bugs, keeps your space feeling
peaceful, and doesn’t mess with your vibe.
