Amazon.com Review
Are you troubled by more insects than you can swat? Sick of citronella? Driven mad by mosquitoes? The Flowtron 80-watt electronic insect killer is just what you need to remove pesky insects from the guest list at your next picnic or outdoor get-together. This ecologically friendly device uses no fogs, sprays, or poisons and comes completely assembled and ready for use. The unit plugs into a standard electrical socket and operates for only pennies a day. It utilizes a high-intensity black light bulb to lure and eliminate light-sensitive flying insects and is designed to protect an area of up to 1-1/2 acres. An exclusive mosquito-attractant cartridge, activated when the unit is turned on, is also included. The unit's high-efficiency vertical grid eliminates clogging that can cause short-circuits or flare-up of insect remains, and a protective outer enclosure prevents injury to children, pets, birds, and wildlife. The durable casing is rainproof and rustproof for years of trouble-free operation. A two-year limited manufacturer's warranty is included.

 The Granddaddy of all bug zappers! September 25, 2008
Oh my doG, it kills "Japanese" (aka European) hornets!
'nuff said. This unit is awesome.
Bug Zapper September 19, 2008
This is a good product for the money, although this was purchased as a replacement for the same exact model. The last one we had lasted 1 1/2 seasons before it stopped working (running 10 hours/night for 4 months). Will use the new bulbs in this one to see if the problem was the bulbs burning out or some other part that stopped working in the last one before ordering new parts and paying for shipping!
 1 1/2 acre flowtron September 3, 2008
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.
Flowtron 150 review August 29, 2008
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.
Very good after dark, dusk, not so much August 25, 2008
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.
