Flowtron Electric Bug Zapper 2 Acres Outdoor Insect Control with Dual Lure Method, 120W UV Light & Octenol Attractant for Fly & Mosquito, 5600V Kill Grid, UL Certified

I bought 2 of these for my backyard, what today would be considered a large backyard in a residential neighbourhood. They work as designed when following the instructions! And they work 10/10. The first day I set these up I had to shut them off at night for the first night to not disturb the neighbours who had their windows open from the constant zapping! Only the first night. It take’s between 7 and 10 days for this zapper to really clear the area as it works in the principle of reducing the population by not letting them reproduce. I also experimented twice with where they were placed which made a difference. Nothing is 100% in eliminating the mosquitos, but this one is very close. The pictures show the location … they are temporarily set on a ladder as I look for poles to hang the FlowTrons on to make a more effective and cleaner looking setup. They should be 2 to 3 feet higher than currently shown, yet they are still working well!

estoy satisfecho con el producto ¡¡ espero que amazon y flowtron pongan a la venta el Fly Sex Lure . es importante señalar que el equipo necesita carnada para los mosquitos y las moscas....

Since 2016, I've had 5 of the BK-40D zappers (Found Here) - and they've worked extremely well; other than the fact that they're unbelievably unreliable. The worst part is that the light doesn't ever burn out - but it stops zapping mosquitoes. As a result, the only real way to know it's broken is to wait until you start getting eaten by the little buggers. When the most recent one stopped zapping, I decided to search for something better and ran across this model from the same company. It's only been a couple of months; but this MC-9000 has already outlasted the last two BK-40D units. It seems like a much higher quality product, so my hopes are high - and I'll post here if it ends up failing (other than standard maintenance, like the lights needing to be replaced). In addition to seeming like a higher quality product: - it's significantly brighter and seems to cover a larger area as a result - The way the attractant attaches to the bottom is simpler, although it could use a better explanation in the manual - It doesn't clog up as quickly Overall, even though this was more expensive than the BK-40D, it will be worth it if it lasts. I'll definitely update this review immediately if it fails for any reason. [*** Update 10/11/2018 ***] It's been a couple more months, and this zapper is still going strong. We're having a wet fall, so it's getting some good use. Anyway, I figured I'd tack one more observation that I learned recently onto this review. The attractant does wonders for pulling in additional mosquitoes at night so they can be zapped - but I noticed that it continued to pull them in during the day as well. The result was that we would start to get quite a few mosquitoes in the area of our zapper before dusk. By morning they're all dead, and the process starts over. To fix this I purchased a dusk-to-dawn timer (Found Here) so the zapper only runs at night. That prevents the attractant from warming up and attracting mosquitoes throughout the day - and our yard is almost completely free of the little buggers now.

Kills... this pic was 2 hours next to a wasp nest works great

This Flowtron MC9000 is one of my favorite products. What a BEAST of a bug zapper, finally we can BBQ in the back yard by the pool and be free of nuisance bugs! I tried several different top-selling bug zappers which were either too weak or failed prematurely, until I did some more research and found this one. This is the best out there because: — It is the most powerful residential bug zapper (and even stronger than most commercial units). The grid fries and smokes the bugs, nothing escapes once they fly near the grid. Although it is a max 120W unit, my watt meter measured a very reasonable 84W power draw at rest. — It blends in nicely with the patio and landscape with the green top and bottom. From a distance it looks kind of like a hanging plant container, so it is pleasing to look at. The UV glow provides some ambient lighting at night. — It has a simple electronic component design which is very serviceable (people talk about having their Flowtrons for decades). It has 3 old school transformers for the lights, and another larger transformer for the electric grid. It also has bulb starters. That’s about it. Very simple and not much to fail (keep it simple = reliable). It is easy to replace the power cord if you want a longer or different type of cord (I swapped it out with a twisty green cloth lamp cord so it would be decorative and low-profile woven into the hanging chain). — It holds 3 Octenol cartridges at the bottom for enhanced mosquito attraction. The cartridges are super easy to replace since they just snap in. I found a pile of dead mosquitoes starting after the first night I turned it on. — Replacement bulbs are readily available (I had a hard time finding bulbs for the other brand bug zappers). — Made in the USA! Other things to note - you can remove the bottom green shroud and reduce it by several inches in height if you want, since that’s just to provide space for the bugs to pile up if you place it on a table, and for decorative purposes. I kept it on because I like the green look instead of seeing a black bottom. I experimented with the distance from the patio stairs and found that I can avoid the swarm of bugs if I keep it at least 6 feet away from the walking areas. I keep it about 30 - 50 feet away from gathering/BBQ areas. I put this on a Kasa WiFi outdoor timer so it turns on one hour before sunset and off at midnight. I highly recommend this bug zapper! You won’t find a better one if you’re looking for something powerful and effective for a residential back yard.
