Fox Valley Traders Vortex Cordless Insect Trap — USB Rechargeable, Bladeless Fan & Dual UV/Warm Light

The Fox Valley Traders Vortex Cordless Insect Trap uses UV light and a powerful internal fan to quietly draw in and securely contain fruit flies, gnats and other small flying insects.

Keep kitchens, offices and living areas free from buzzing pests with a device designed for discreet, cordless operation. The Vortex combines targeted UV attraction, a bladeless fan vortex and a lockable containment chamber in a compact, stylish housing that doubles as ambient lighting. Rechargeable by USB and measuring 8 2/3" high by 4 3/4" in diameter, it fits on counters, desks or tables without needing a permanent setup.

How does the Vortex trap flying insects?

The trap lures insects with UV light, then pulls them inside with a steady fan-generated vortex where they cannot escape. The containment chamber captures and holds the pests until you empty it, keeping them out of sight and out of the way.

• UV light attracts small flying insects like fruit flies and gnats
• Internal fan creates a suction vortex to draw pests inward
• Secure chamber prevents re-entry and simplifies cleanup
• Bladeless design reduces noise and minimizes maintenance

Can the unit also function as a light source?

Yes — the Vortex switches between insect-attracting UV and a warm white mode for decorative illumination. That dual functionality lets it work as a subtle nightlight or mood lamp when pest control isn’t needed.

• Toggle between UV mode and warm white ambient lighting
• Warm white setting adds soft illumination for countertops or bedside tables
• Leaves a clean, modern profile for visible placement in living spaces

Where can I place and power this cordless trap?

The trap is rechargeable via USB, so you can position it wherever insects are a nuisance without worrying about outlets or cords. Its compact size makes it easy to move between rooms and position on tabletops, kitchen islands or office desks.

• Rechargeable battery eliminates constant cord dependency
• Compact footprint: 8 2/3" tall by 4 3/4" diameter
• Portable for indoor use in kitchens, offices, patios under cover, and bedrooms

How do I maintain and clean the Vortex without fuss?

Maintenance is straightforward: unplug and open the containment chamber to empty trapped insects, then wipe surfaces as needed. The bladeless fan design reduces snagging and makes simple wipe-down cleaning effective.

• Empty the secure chamber regularly to maintain performance
• Wipe exterior and interior surfaces with a damp cloth — no harsh solvents
• Recharge via included USB cord; follow manufacturer guidance for battery care
