If You Fly You Fry

What more csn you ask for? This product does what it claims to do and does it in spectacular style. As I write this I'm still listening to the sounds of things not having a good night. I own a lowly Lowe's bought Stinger 40watt model and this is like comparing a ladyfinger firecracker to an M-80. Pop goes anything. Yes it may kill friendly bugs, but at 1 A.M., is there such a thing when you are trying to sit outdoors and have some quiet time? I'm ordering 3 more to surround my home. Even during the tropical storm winds we got from T.S. Eduardo in South L.A. it was doing it's part. Well worth the money

Very well worth the price; works like a charm

This zapper is incredible. I had some trepidation because I read zappers aren't very effective with regard to mosquitos but this one certainly is. It kills hundreds of bugs each night and they drop effortlessly through the bottom. A well-made, well-designed product that gets results.

Works as promised

This product works very well. After reading reviews, I decided on the 80 watt vs a smaller model, because our yard sits in the middle of 60 acres of pastureland. Grasshoppers have a hard time getting into the middle,although very attracted to it. But if they make their way in, they do fry! Has really reduced the insect population in the evenings.

flowtron great stinger awful

I had a flowtron many years ago. When the bulb burned out after at least five years of use, I had difficulty finding replacement bulbs and could not find a way to even get the bulbs out I think it was an older model that needed to be taken apart. So I unfortunately bought the stingers because they were at the local hardware store at the end of last year. I stored them in the garage through the winter. When I put new bulbs in this spring neither worked. I needed these!!! and bought two more this spring. One still works but is clogged every couple of days. And I have to replace bulbs every month. The other no longer works. They just hang in rather protected areas. What is with the stingers????

Flowtron and Stinger electronic Insect Killers

I live on an island in a Louisiana Lake. From sundown to about 10:30 PM, the mosquitoes are "horrendous". I usually have 4 "bug lights" going at once. They are all Flowtrons, due to the better grid system. I have tried Stingers, but the grids "stop up" due to the bugs not falling free from the grid.
Over the past 20 years, I have bought about 15 "bug lights". Sears( probably made by Flowtron), Stinger, and Flowtron. The Sears and Flowtron are the best, due to the grid system. I have one Sears light that after 10 yrs is still going strong, it really "zaps" the bugs and NEVER chokes down. The transformer puts out 5600 volts and 9 ma. Most bug lights now days only put out around 4000 volts.
Flowtron's main problem is the weak transformer, it is weak in that it does not have a high enough voltage, and it "burns out" easily. I actually buy Stingers to take the transformers out and put them in my Flowtrons. In the past, you could get parts (transformers) from Sears, but, they do not sell the zappers any more. I can not find a source for the 5600 volt transformer either.
Anyway, Flowtron, with weak transformer, is still the best we have...
