I've had a 1/2-acre Flowtron bug zapper for many years and it still works. I've had other brands and other sizes from Flowtron. I've also had them with the bright light blue lights and with the dark UV lights. In my experience, the bright light blue light works the best. But by far, the 1/2 acre size with the bright light blue light is the one that works better than any of the others. Since my original one has worked so well for these years, I decided to order four more. Yesterday, I put them up in four different locations of our 1-1/2 acre rural property. The pictures show the results after just the first night. Two of them are on our house (front and back), one is outside the garage, and one is on our detached dining deck (not over any eating area!). Our original one is in the chicken runs and we still have to clean it out almost every two or three days.The pictures are of one of the new ones, each in a different location. As you can see, the results are amazing!Yes, despite claiming to be clog-free, they still do clog up. But they are fairly easy to clean. I use a compressed air hose. You could use some of that canned air, that you can get at most any store, that's normally used for blowing out computer keyboard and other electronic devices. The bugs come off pretty easily (a few might get stuck on there).And yes, the power cord is super short, so you'll need a 3-prong extension cord. If you want the bug zapper to hang straight, you'll need to have a cord long enough to have some slack at the zapper. Me? I don't care if they're straight or not, as long as they work, which they do.Yes, they can be noisy, especially the first few nights when the bug population is the most. Just don't put them outside your bedroom window if you leave the window open!I do replace the bulbs once a year, which is fairly easy to do since you don't have to take anything apart.I don't use the octenol packet that comes with the zappers. First of all, the bugs (mosquitoes) are attracted enough, and second of all, I don't want to spend the money or the effort to replace them every month.I would wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I bought this to us primarily for mosquitoes around my rear patio area . The light attracts and eviscerates quite a number of bugs . However, be aware this only works when the sun goes down and it is dark outside . secondly , it does not completely eliminate all chances of a mosquito landing on you. I Use a combination of this lamp and OFF mosquito coils. The burning coils nearby deter the mosquitoes and then they draw to the light . It's useful to change the attractant regularly .

Durante la temporada de lluvias recibimos muchos mosquitos en nuestro garaje, ya que es profundo, oscuro y sólo está abierto por un lado. El techo y los estantes de almacenamiento están llenos de mosquitos. Aunque he leído en varios sitios web que los mosquitos no se sienten atraídos por la luz, compré este Flowtron asesino electrónico de Insectos porque estaba muy bien valorado, incluso para mosquitos. Todavía no he usado Octenol y todos los días durante los últimos 4 días de uso, hay una reducción notable de mosquitos en nuestro garaje. Recomiendo altamente este producto.

Esta unidad es una versión de 120V. no es bueno para su uso en Europa. la descripción no indica el voltaje. viene con enchufe americano y sin adaptador ni reductor de voltaje. No malgastes tu dinero.

Buen producto , no atrae hipnoticamente a todos los moscos pero si a un 20 % de ellos, no genera ruido
