Summarized ...

«The Reva mosquito trap by Styles of Switzerland is appreciated for its stylish design and dual functionality as a lamp and mosquito trap. However, many users find the trap's effectiveness limited, especially in high mosquito presence areas, and note that it's noisy when operating. The device must be plugged in to work, which restricts mobility, and cannot simultaneously use the light and mosquito trap features.»

Mosquito repellent does not work at all

The Reva mosquito trap from "styles of switzerland", made in China, has different operating modes. It can be used either as a table lamp with two different brightness levels or as a mosquito trap. As a table lamp, it really lives up to its name, because it certainly looks stylish and the light is very pleasant. As a mosquito trap, it successfully attracts mosquitoes and other insects with UV light, but buzzes loudly enough due to the integrated fan that you hardly want to sleep next door. In addition, this trap naturally competes with other light sources and other attractants, which can limit its effectiveness. Unfortunately, the UV light with fan and the "normal" light cannot be used in combination, so you have to choose one of the two functions (lamp or trap). As a light, it naturally also attracts mosquitoes, but does not catch them. The trap works as promised without chemicals - but on a warm summer evening outdoors - especially when there are a lot of mosquitoes - it is definitely no substitute for conventional mosquito spray. Somewhat disappointing and not immediately apparent to me from the item description is that the device does not have an integrated battery - i.e. it must always be plugged in (outside, e.g. on a power bank via USB) in order to be used - so the only malfunction in the instructions "Device cannot be switched on" is dealt with with the suggested solution "Connect power supply unit correctly". This also explains why the ambient light sensor always lights up in the same way and why there is no charge level indicator. Due to the special plug on the lamp, you always need the supplied cable, why a USB socket was not simply installed here is beyond me, especially as a USB adapter (5V/1A) provides power on the other side of the cable. Once you understand that the lamp has to be plugged in, operation is pretty intuitive. There are two buttons, one for automatic on/off and one for selecting the mode (light, dimmed light, off, UV mosquito light). Emptying the collection container is also very easy. The packaging is designed in such a way that the lamp and accessories are well padded and limits the amount of waste to a sensible level.

We have it in the kitchen as we have it open most of the time. I'm delighted with the light sensor function. Now I don't have to remember to switch it on in the evening and switch it off again in the morning. There's only been one mosquito in there so far. But it attracts fruit flies well. It's better to take the collection container outside...the light attracts the fruit flies and they definitely fall into the container. Thanks to the rotating "fan", if a few have survived, they won't come back up. As soon as you unscrew the bottom, you free them...but it works, hence all the stars.

Attention: Message to all negative evaluators in here: When you transpire and exhale CO2, the mosquitoes react to it. Even the beasts with an IQ of 0.01 are so instinct-driven, they do NOT react to the light but to you. If you then place the device on your bedside tables or in the garden lounge in front of your bare legs, it's like a landing strip with approach signal lights. - We have had the previous Stylies device in the corridor in front of our bedrooms for 2 summers and it repels almost everything on approach, I am so satisfied that I have bought a second one for the vacation apartment. 1 star deduction only because the collection container was bigger before. We recently had 10 giant creatures in it from one night. And yes, of course they are not all dead, I want the by-catch butterflies to live on. When I open the trap outside the next morning, I smash the surviving mosquitoes the moment they think "Hooray, I'm fr...".
