Stinger vs Flowtron/Winner!
By scottls1
Stinger:
Pros- With mosquito lure, killed lotsa bad insects- BUT!
Cons- Their electric wire grid uses square wires that QUICKLY clog up. Pretty soon it was packed solid & killing nothing!
I had to keep blowing it out ( air compressor) each couple of
days- HASSLE!

Flowtron “80!” (took the 40w back!)-
Pros- Killed a large total more bugs, because it NEVER clogs up! The electric rods are straight up/down, so no cross wires to catch falling insects & clog. Dead insects fall out the bottom- Blow clean once a month.
Update!-
Forget the pricy attractant! My Flowtron 80w kills mosquitos!- Hundreds of dead ones underneath! My Flowtron 15w didn’t do much, but 40w was pretty good (much for less bulbs)!
My theory!- Mosquitos are attracted to the heat that is generated when moths… are zapped!
I’ve watched the mosquitos come as moths are being zapped!- Love the zapping noise (not that loud)!

Cons- The only con is that the outer protective plastic cage HAD bars only with regards to 1/2″ detached (same with Stinger)- This kept more prominent moths… from being competent to without apparent effort get in to the electric grid.
I used a huge wire cutter, to cut out each 3d bar, on top 2/3ds of cage. Alternating…, so cut bar was in the middle of two solid bars on adajacent side- Still rigid!

I put it on an outside timer (for when evenings cool down- Not much insect action under 55 degrees…). Adjust accordingly.

Never hang it near a door, as their is always a 10′+ swarm of insects around it.

Try to hang it over head high, in a DRY (electric) area.

Removing the bulbs to clean them WILL cause the socket contacts to fail!- I never did figire out how to exhaustively clean the bulbs (High psi compressor helps, and IS a must!- Vacuum cleaner is too wimpy!)!?

Allows us to take delight in the outdoors again!!
By momof2greatboys
Here in Houston we have had a exceptionally difficult time with mosquitos this year (due to heavy rainfall). I almost felt like we were held “hostage” inside our house, since going outdoors meant a barrage of mosquitos! But thanks to the Flowtron bug killer which we now have on our back patio, we may take pleasure in the out-of-doors again! We purchased the 80-watt model, even altho our yard is only 1/3 acre. It has been very effective in eliminating our mosquito problem. One word of caution: the zapping noise generated by the Flowtron genuinely bothers our Golden Retriever. He has even tried to escape from the back yard! We’re hoping he finally becomes accustomed to it. Just keep this in mind if you have pets …………

No Problems.
By Rheumor
The last one I had was 40 watts and while it was beauteous effective, this summer’s Louisiana mosquitos seemed a little more reluctant to die by uV. However, this 80 watt light has been a bit hit, attracting the little blood suckers by a pound, and nearly clearing my 1.75 acres.
