Plant Lovers Rejoice! Zevo Launches Two New Innovations to Defend Your Home & Houseplants From Bugs

Zevo’s New Lineup Takes a Dual Approach to Tackling Bugs

As the temperatures drop and you bring your hosting, and plants, inside - bugs can find their way in too, often drawn to the same houseplants you love. Thankfully, Zevo is expanding their line of worry-free pest solutions with the launch of Zevo Plant Flying Insect Trap and Zevo Trap+Kill Foam. Together, they are uniquely designed to protect the things you love from the flying and crawling bugs they can attract.

When you feel the first chill in the air, you bring your outdoor plants inside, but you may also be bringing in some unwanted houseguests with them – bugs. While a 2024 survey found that the majority of people (60%) react as quickly as they can upon seeing a bug1, the same urgency isn't often applied to smaller flying insects. That indifference leaves your home, and your houseplants, vulnerable.

Zevo has adapted its #1 Flying Insect Trap2 for plants, using UV and blue light to lure fungus gnats and other flying insects away from your houseplants. Its compact size enables it to be discreetly placed by your pots, effectively protecting your plant babies from bugs.

“As a plant lover with hundreds of plants in my home, I've accepted that bugs are just a part of life,” said interior stylist, author and plant expert, Hilton Carter. “But with Zevo's new plant-friendly Trap, we finally have a solution that is easy-to-use and effectively lures fungus gnats away from our plants before they can multiply in the soil. Frankly, it’s the innovation I've been waiting for since I brought my first plant home.”

For those larger crawling bugs, Zevo’s new Trap+Kill Foam uses a powerful blend of essential oils to trap pests from scurrying off, giving you a quick, visible kill. Together, these products are a one-two punch to defend your home from bugs.

“We know that a single bug can pull you out of the moments you want to enjoy in your home, and that the beauty of houseplants is a key part of that enjoyment,” said Rob Reinerman, Vice President of Procter & Gamble Ventures. “With the addition of these two new innovations, Zevo Plant and Trap+Kill Foam, to our suite of people-friendly, bug-deadly products, we can help provide a complete defensive lineup against unwanted pests.”

Zevo Plant Flying Insect Trap will be available for an MSRP of $19.99. The 12 oz. Zevo Trap+Kill Foam has an MSRP of $7.99 and is now available at Walmart.com.
