Flowtron BK-40D Electronic Insect Killer, 1 Acre Coverage,Black & MA-1000 Octenol Mosquito Attractant Cartridge

I have tried the other bug zappers out there, all of them burned out or simply stopped working after a short time, which brought be back to the Flowtron brand. The item is well made, lasts and gets the job done. The plastic housing is durable, and keeps fingers away from the metal grid while allowing bugs to easily enter. I would like to see Flowtron bring back the smaller version with the spiral grid, but this thing works just as well.

Bought this outdoor entertainment system for my house in Florida. Spending the evening watching it fry all the little buggers that are here trying to suck my blood is quite satisfying.

I’ve lost count of how many I’ve bought. No timer so mine is on 24/7. Works very well but I’ve never been able to replace a light. It’s like the bulb is glued in. The bulbs always break when I try to replace them. If they don’t break the bulb and base come apart and getting it out damages the light. Never had this problem on the previous brand I used to buy, but I can’t find them any more.

I’ve had mine for about 5 years and it still works great. The easiest way to clean it is to use low pressure compressed air and just blow it out, it’s really easy, but if you don’t have compressed air you need to take it apart and clean it with a toothbrush or something similar

I dislike killing anything but it is necessary to make our back deck and back yard useable. This does the job simply and effectively. It does not help much, if at all, with mosquitos, even when using the MA-1000 Octenol attractant. Ultimately we had to hire a mosquito spraying service for that which had I resisted for years for general environmental health reasons. The combination of this bug zapper and the mosquito spraying service gave us back the use of our back deck and back yard .

There will be a big pile of bugs under it if you leave it on at night for 4 hours.

Ok, These kill and kill and kill everything that goes around them. They work so good they get full every night. I have one in the front of the house and one in back. I live in Florida out in the sticks, so bugs are very bad here. I have 6 acres and to many mosquitos. The screen that shocks the bugs get so many bugs on them every night it all turns black to the point it blocks the light out. Luckily the ants have found this consistent supply of food and they clean a lot of the bugs off during the day when the mosquito traps are turned off. Every evening I take my small rolling compressor out to them and use the air gun to quickly clean the shock screen off what is left after the ants have eaten most of the yum yums. Even though these are killing machines they have not really cut back the mosquito population. Our yard is unusable at 8 pm when the mosquitos come out in full force. There are just to many mosquitos here in the swamps even at the rate these kill them it hasn't helped much. Please don't get me wrong these are great at what they do its just in our case there are just to many mosquitos to kill and we still get overwhelmed by mosquitos between 7:30 pm and 10pm. At 10 they seem to calm down a bit.

Really does not use much electricity. Nice large size. Cleans easily. Will clear out large area of insects.
