Flowtron Indoor/Outdoor Fly Control, 2000 sq.ft Indoor & 2 Acre Outdoor Insect Control with Dual Lure Method, 120W UV Light & Fly Sex Lure/Octenol for Flies and Mosquitoes, UL Certified

FANTASTIC BUG ZAPPER. I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND SWAMPS ALL OVER . SO WE HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF SKEETERS, BLACK FLIES AND DEAR FLIES. I HAVE TRIED SMALLER ZAPPERS. BUT THEY WOULD KILL SO MANY BUGS THAT IT WOULD LITERALLY CLOG UP AND JUST STOP WORKING. YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO BANG ON IT EVERY TEN MINUTES. BUT THIS ZAPPER DOES THE TRICK. SOUNDS LIKE A MACHINE GUN FOR A COUPLE HOURS. THEN IT SETTLES DOWN. NEVER HAVE TO BANG ON IT. IT CATCHES THE BUGS IN THE BOTTOM. FROM THERE YOU CAN TOSS THEM OR FEED TO CHICKENS IF YOU HAVE ANY. ONE MORE THING. IT BRIGHTENS THE YARD SO YOU DONT HAVE TO TURN ON ANY LIGHTS. ANYWAY, I FULLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Update May 2018-I added a metal screen from a home improvement atore tightly secured around the outside the device to prevent moths and bigger insects from dying and it seems to help about 95% of the time, a few moths and flying ants still get through. I was killing so many random insects that I wanted to make sure I found a way not to do so, I want this to kill mosquitoes and flies, I don’t want to exterminate all bugs in my yard and this really attracts so many bugs that it became too much, the cleanup was also ridiculous with so many bugs. For instance, I want to keep larger insects that don’t bother me so that bats can eat them and then kill the mice and so forth. Also, one of the lightbulbs (it has three) stopped working during first summer, trying to find replacement at this time.—-Original review 2018—Absolutely amazing!!! I thought about it for days and did a ton of online research and product comparisons, I’m so glad I bought this! I leave it on all the time, and use a mosquito and fly attractant that I attach to it. It’s like a bug apocalypse in my backyard, not kidding!!! I’ve seen all kinds of flying bugs including flies, mosquitoes, moths, ladybugs, etc. A couple of nights I thought it was malfunctioning because it sounded like constant zapping like a lightning storm and when I got closer it was because there were so many mosquitoes around it they all wanted to get close to it and they were dying dozens and dozens at the same time! I cleaned it after a week and the tray was half full, the protective cage was very full, but I was amazed that only within 24 hours the protective cage was ready to be cleaned again today! There was still lots of room at the bottom tray. We had a really hot and humid day so I don’t know if that affected the insects but anyway I’m including a video of the grid saturation wih bugs, you will have to clean this often depending on the bug population in your area. I have 6 acres, a pond and running streams in a wooded area, all my neighbors have similar yards, just to give you an idea of my setting and the volume of mosquitoes/ bugs and maintenance needed if you get this device. Highly recommended!! I’ve only had it for a couple weekes but I am hoping that at the killing rate it seems to have it will help me significantly decrease the mosquitoe and fly population in my area.

We live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, deep in the woods on a lake, with a large swamp on the other side of our home. Michigan. Summers are a bug breeding ground, and we have plenty of water to support their cycle. I’m 66 and have purchased dozens of bug killing devices, so called “zappers” to help alleviate the menace. This year, I stumbled across this large Flowtron and was impressed with the reviews. Decided to spend the $300 and put it into service earlier this summer. There is no comparison to anything I’ve tried before, this thing is everything I’ve ever dreamed of in a bug zapper. That name itself does not do justice, this thing is nasty, mean, powerful, a U.S. military secret weapon. I have a small log sauna 50’ from my house with power and a covered porch. We put it there. It faces the lake on one side and the swamp on the other. When you stand near it at night, the bugs are clearly coming in from all directions. I would estimate 15-20 kills a second. Incredible. Forget the bug catching tray on the bottom. Plugs up, not because its faulty, because it kills so damned many insects, it fills in 10 minutes. I took it off and let the demons fall below onto the composite deck there. In the morning, after my coffee, I fire up my gas powered leaf blower and clean away a pile typically 2-3” high under the Flowtron, about 3’ in diameter. The other advantage now is it draws all the black carpenter ants from the area for food, making them an easy concentrated target for ant killer. Two-fer. No more ants near my home. I took the top off to mount the hanger, and was impressed with the size of the 3 large transformers and igniter switches. The electrical grid is heavy. It is soooo fun to watch it vaporize the larger bugs. Its loud. Thats good, Its not whimsy. Bright. My electricity bill has increased. Thats great, it really has the power to turn them into vapor. Think of Tom Cruise, War of the Worlds death ray, vaporizing people into thin air. Yup, thats it. I purchased the $15 photo sensitive high voltage power adaptor, so it turns on and off automatically night/day. Works perfectly. Highly highly recommended. Don’t mess with anything else. Waste of your money. Next year i’m getting another. Giving away all my old ones.

It is very effective indeed! I have had this unit running 24/7 and I have definitely noticed a difference in the bug population. It has been a very wet year and we are still able to go outside in the evening without being swarmed. It appears to be very well made, the caps of the unit are a sturdy plastic and the outside cage is stainless steel. It is heavy, so make sure you have a sturdy way to hang it! I have it hanging from a tree. It is best suited for larger properties, as others have mentioned the bulbs are very bright, it may mess up the ambiance of a smaller yard. I have 2 acres and it is not an issue for me. It is expensive but it definitely does its job well!
