Flowtron Bug Zapper, 1 Acre Outdoor, 40W UV Bulb, 5600V, Octenol Attractant

It flashed and went out the first time I turned it on. It doesn't come with the correct plugs for the countries it's sold in. The packaging is awful.

I live in Florida in a wooded area next to a marsh. We have mosquitos and no-see-ums, flying ants, and other bugs. The flying ants seem to be attracted by light. They are small enough to get through the window screens and any small openings around the doors or windows. They come in June and have invaded my house from time to time. It is now 2024. Back in 2018, I bought the very large 2-acre coverage Flowtron Bug Zapper. I hope that by keeping the house dark and having a very bright light away from the house, the ants would stay away. It worked. I have had no flying ant problems since installing the bug zapper. There seem to be fewer mosquitos too. In 2018, I set up the 2-acre bug zapper on the porch of a shed. The shed had a small overhanging roof. I attached it to a light sensor that turned on the light at dusk and turned it off at dawn. It ran every night from June 2018 to Fall 2023, surviving a hurricane, many heavy Florida thunderstorms, and the daily heat & humidity of Florida. There are not as many bugs in the winter, so I did not replace it until May. This time I choose the smaller 1-acre zapper. When I plugged it in, it didn't work. I finally figured out that the dusk/dawn sensor was broken. I replaced that and found out that the 2-acre zapper was also still working. So now both are up and running. The bad side is that these zappers needlessly kill a lot of moths / The good side is the zapped bugs fall on the deck, and each morning at sunrise, birds come and eat BBQ bugs. / If I were to do this again, I would buy two 1-acre zappers instead of the one 2-acre bug zapper.

I bought it for my poor horses that were being eaten ALIVE by relentless New Brunswick mosquitos. We have lived here 5 years, and no amount of bug spray will save you in the hight of mosquito season, you simply can't enjoy the outdoors untill now! I'm not sure if it covers a full acre, but it's definitely close. I have it attached to one of my run in sheads and the other is maybe 50' away? No mosquitos!!! My horse was terrified of the loud zapping in the beginning, but after a couple days she's gotten used to it. Even if it only lasts a year... I'd happily buy one every year, this thing is worth it's weight in gold!! I can't believe I found the perfect solution to our mosquito problem! I see the little Flys go to it during the day time... not sure about any other Flys, either way I LOVE IT!!!

Loving the Flowtron Bug Zapper! Have had Black Flag zappers for 4-5 years, the things constantly need cleaning. Can't help but imagine how effective they could be, if they weren't eternally full of bugs. Therefore upon seeing the grill in the Flowtron, I immediately realized, this one won't plug up!! And, much as I suspected, it doesn't. Have had a beetle or two fly into it and get stuck, but overall, it's working exceptionally well, without constant maintenance like my previous zapper. Fantastic job Fowtron.

Are you tired of getting bit ? are you tired of spraying stinky bug spray and still get bit and are you tired of those annoying mosquitoes coils that stink like shit then look no further for this amazing device . If you have access to a power source its amazing otherwise you need a portable battery. If you have a direct power source it will last all night but the down side is it sucks up a lot of electricity so even with my portable battery pack the die hard it only gave me 3 hours of zapping sensation with full battery but hey it dose the job those 3 hours at night all the bugs specially mosquitoes all died it takes all the bugs in the area and puts them to that side and slowly kills them . It makes a loud noise when it kills them and i love it then you know for sure its working it will be perfect in your backyard also just plug it in and your good. Me and my wife went camping and every night we turn it around 9pm when its dark and until about midnight it zaps the shit out of everything we were amazed yes its pricy but sometimes in life you pay for what you get for i tried other devices they are decent but this is the 5 start cream of the crop i promise if you buy this you wont regret it just i wish it was solar powerd or had a built in battery but other that that plug in and zap away

Nice powerful zapper, reason for four star is it doesn’t have a on and off switch or a dawn to dusk switch like the cheaper model. Shame…..
