Fly tape and bug swatters have nothing on the modern bug-killing power of the InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer. This [bug catcher](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-bugs) is designed in the shape of a mushroom and uses carbon dioxide to lure in unsuspecting bugs to its fan of death.

The InaTrap Electronic Insect Killer emits a small amount of carbon dioxide to attract [flying bugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sniper-hotshot-multipurpose-insect-killer). When the bugs get close enough, they are sucked into the trap via its built-in fan. The trap emits an almost inaudible amount of noise, and it is easy on the eyes thanks to its LED lights. The entire system is small and light enough to be transported from the [backyard to the campground](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperlite-bug-bivy). The InaTrap is currently on sale for $84.99.
