Are you troubled by more insects than you can swat? Sick of citronella? Driven mad by mosquitoes? The Flowtron 80-watt electronic insect killer is just what you need to remove pesky insects from the guest list at your next picnic or outdoor get-together. This ecologically friendly device uses no fogs, sprays, or poisons and comes completely assembled and ready for use. The unit plugs into a standard electrical socket and operates for only pennies a day. It utilizes a high-intensity black light bulb to lure and eliminate light-sensitive flying insects and is designed to protect an area of up to 1-1/2 acres. An exclusive mosquito-attractant cartridge, activated when the unit is turned on, is also included. The unit's high-efficiency vertical grid eliminates clogging that can cause short-circuits or flare-up of insect remains, and a protective outer enclosure prevents injury to children, pets, birds, and wildlife. The durable casing is rainproof and rustproof for years of trouble-free operation. A two-year limited manufacturer's warranty is included. |

Very Satisfied |
|
With the vertical grid, this bug killer is much better at "self cleaning" than the previous Stinger that I had, yet it seems to kill as many if not more bugs. |

It's good, but could be better. |
I bought one to try it out in the South America. I put this unit up in the camp in the jungle. It's fun to watch this thing work. Kills everything that can get inside of it.
The problem, nothing big can get inside. Will have to cut the frame like someone here suggested. That's why 4 stars. |

Performance substandard in MT |
|
Saw the good reviews on this item and bought it, but in NW Montana it turned out to be quite ineffective. Very small radius - like about 10 ft. Very limited efficacy. Poor choice in this region. |

Very pleased with it. |
This thing appears to work. It does not guarantee you will not be bitten, but it guarantees that you will not be bitten AS MUCH! After the rubbishy Danatrap it has been a God Send.
Yes, I would recommend it, but it is expensive to run. Octenol lures are not cheap and you definitely need them, replacement lamps are expensive and then there is the cost of running the thing day and night from spring to winter so you have that to add to your electricity bill.
If you suffer as much as I do from mosquito bites you will gladly budget for this gadget, it makes life bearable, and sitting or working in the garden pleasurable again. |

pretty good product |
Pro's : works well. Kills many different kinds of bugs.
Con's : isn't as self-cleaning as described. No doubt the vertical electrodes help keep the bugs from sticking, but I still need to clean it daily.
Overall, I really like this product. It has made a huge dent in the infestation of moths and other bugs we've been dealing with this summer! I would definitely recommend it to friends. |
