Summary: 1 1/2 acre flowtron
Comment: product works as advertized but the unit i bought several years ago had a much longer power cord and
all my mounting hardware was set up for that unit. i had to replace the cord with the one from my
old unit. at the price they get for this unit you would think shortening this cord by eight inches
is not justifed. i guess for first time buyers they would not encounter this problem.

Summary: Flowtron 150 review
Comment: This is an excelent unit, it self cleans itself,unlike another brand unit that is sold by Walmart,
Home Depot, Lowes etc. that plugged up with dead bugs in a couple of days. This unit may need a
little cleaning in 3 or 4 weeks. The one thing that the other brand had,that was very nice,was a
slide cover over a sensor that could let the unit turn off during daylight,if desired. I ordered
this bug killer after purchasing the other brand,which I quickly returned after seeing it's design
flaw. I have also had an older FLOWTRON smaller unit for about 20 years which is still working well
with the original bulb and killing bugs just as well as this new unit. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE
FLOWTRON BRAND BUG KILLERS.

Summary: Very good after dark, dusk, not so much
Comment: After dark, I absolutely love this product. The very first day we used it, I noticed that we could
actually be outside by the pool and not get eaten alive.

During dusk is a different
story. Whenever the sun is up, this product does not attract the mosquitoes. I don't know if the
octenol just isn't working, if it's just my area, or what. If you live in Florida and the sun is
currently up until 8:30 pm, then this is a big deal. My wife likes to sit on the porch swing between
6:30 and 7:30. The Flowtron will not get the bugs at this time of the day. Around 8:15 as it gets
darker, the bug machine gets very active and they leave us alone.

If you live in
another part of the country where the sun goes down sooner, this will not be an issue for those of
you wanting to use it after work. After dark, it's great.

Summary: Doesn't kill all Bugs!
Comment: I really bought this product because it attracted Mosquitos. It seems to kill everything but
Mosquitos. I hear it zapping all night while I sit and get eaten up by Mosquitos. I even put 2
Mosquito Cartridges on the Zapper to attract the Mosquitos to the Zapper, but the Mosquitos still
find me.

Summary: A bat buffet!
Comment: I do love this bug zapper, but I noticed there weren't as many dead bugs around it as I thought
there would be, seeing as we have a heavily wooded property complete with creek (lots of bugs!).
One late night, almost midnight, I went out into the side yard with my dog so she could do her
business, and saw BATS flying from the woods and zooming by the bug zapper, then back to the trees
again. The bats were picking off the bugs that were attracted by the bug zapper! How cool is
that?!? I am such a city kid that I made myself a cup of hot cocoa and sat by the back door with
the porch light on, just watching the bats go back and forth. Since that evening, I've seen the
bats almost every time I happen to go outside late at night, so I guess my bug zapper is doing well
to keep our local bats fat and happy. (I'm glad to say the bats are in no danger from this zapper
due to the grid guard, btw.)

I've had this 80 watt model for over 3 months now, and it
works beautifully even though it's exposed to the wind, rain, and hail. Depending on how warm the
weather has been, I'll take the leaf blower to it to clean the bug zapper every week or two. With
the leaf blower, the bug zapper swings around wildly, but it doesn't damage this sturdy bug zapper!
All bugs come off easily.

I also have this zapper on a light-sensitive timer, so it
comes on at dusk, and off again at dawn.
