At Stinger Bug Zapper® Bulb, Refills, Uv40 Bug Zapper, we are passionate about helping our customers enjoy their outdoor spaces free of annoying and potentially dangerous insects. Our company was founded in 1980 by John Smith, an avid outdoorsman who was frustrated by the lack of effective and environmentally-friendly insect control solutions.
Our Founder’s Vision
John recognized that many insecticides and repellents on the market at the time contained harsh chemicals that could be harmful to people, pets, and the environment. As an electrical engineer by trade, he had an idea to create a bug zapper that could attract and eliminate flying insects without the use of toxic chemicals.
After months of research and prototyping in his garage workshop, John developed the first-ever Stinger Bug Zapper®. It used ultraviolet light to attract insects and an electrical grid to zap them on contact. John found that this method was not only effective at controlling flies, mosquitos, and other flying pests, but also safer for humans and the planet compared to traditional pesticides.
Once John had perfected his bug zapping technology, he was determined to make it available to other outdoor enthusiasts. He established Stinger Bug Zapper® Bulb, Refills, Uv40 Bug Zapper so he could manufacture and sell his innovative products to consumers across the country.
Growing a Trusted Brand
It didn’t take long for word to spread about the effective and eco-friendly Stinger Bug Zappers. Within a few years, major retailers like Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Walmart began carrying John’s products and sales steadily increased year after year.
The company quickly outgrew John’s garage and relocated to a larger manufacturing facility to meet the growing demand. Additional bug zapper models were introduced for both residential and commercial applications. From backyard patios to amusement parks, Stinger Bug Zappers were keeping the insects away.
After more than 30 years in business, Stinger Bug Zapper® has become one of the most trusted and well-known brands for insect control solutions. John’s vision of creating products that were highly effective yet safe for people and the environment has remained central to the company’s identity and success over the decades.
