Zevo Products - Pricing Information Hallo. Recently I purchased the Zevo plug in with 1 cartridge and a single box with 2 refills. I did so based on recommendations here and all i can say is.. Wow! It is Amazing how many gnats it lures in! My roommate is very thankful it works so well. And so am I. That’s the good news. The bad news is Zevo thinks people are stupid and will pay any price for anything. So some shared price research: - It looks like the H.depot has the Zevo unit and 2 pack bundle for $21.33 which is the only value saver and an actual value bundle. - The 4 refills in the single Value Pack is NOT a value saver. It actually costs more than buying two packs of 2 refills. I’m going to write to Zevo, because writing to companies still does work to create change, and I plan on informing them of their no value pricing ways. Just thought I’d share to save someone else some money.

    I really love the ideas of these! But I always felt they were really expensive, and they create a lot of waste. How long do you use yours for before swapping out the cartage?

      Hi there, Well so far I have disposed of one, one is in there still collecting (and creepily 75% full) , and one refill is the box. I think I got them in Sept/Oct time frame. Now after posting my findings I do see there are generic refills from other companies. So here is a 4 pack for $12.99 and they have an 8 Pack for $24.29 at the online big Wmart. For myself I do try to also use kneem oil sprays. Since this waste annoyance is only until March, when I can put stuff back outside again, i’m ok with 2 units being used 1/2 of the year.

      Hi there, The Zevo is just that a large sticky surface facing the wall. So in general any tiny black light and insect tap would also work. How will any sticky tape look ? Or look stuck to some kid or cat or dog is a different story. The Zevo does eliminate that accidental sticking to other living things. Unless the kids are being a pest and that’s their 15 minute time out punishment. Mom: Barbara Jean what are you doing? Why is that pest strip…Ohhh you were bothering Daddy again, weren’t you? You know he doesn’t like when you’re a pest.

    Looks like your screenshots are from Amazon. In which case it’s Amazon screwing with the price, not Zevo. I got a few of these a couple years ago. Not long and my units were discontinued. I did stock up on refills but when they are gone, I won’t be able to get more. This looks like an even newer model then what replaced mine, so they may do “updates” every year or two? I don’t like the yellow sticky traps as they often stick to plant leaves. I got a Katchy and move that around as needed, but generally don’t have an issue with fungus gnats. They crop up sometimes and I bottom water and use the Katchy and they die off quickly.
