Amazon.com Review
Flowtron's lantern-style insect killer uses nontoxic ultraviolet light to eliminate mosquitoes, biting flies, and other insects over a 1-acre area. The insect killer is cleaner and safer than its chemical counterparts, and its patented nonclogging killing grid eliminates the grid clogging that can short-circuit the unit or cause flare-ups of insect remains. The insect killer features high-impact construction and a protective outer enclosure to prevent children, pets, birds, or wildlife from contacting the charged grid.

 A good bug zapper, but attracted a lot of moths November 17, 2009
Kristen B (Los Lunas, NM USA)
SO living on a mini ranch I got this to cut down on flies and mosquitoes. The mosquito attractant did a good job, but didn't last that long, and was expensive to replace. The pesky "flies" go to bed at night so they aren't attracted to it. Otherwise it would just attract "non pesky" bugs in my opinion like moths and I felt really bad hearing them sizzle and zap when they didn't bother me. One night I went out and noticed there was a lot of moths and huge ones all around the bug zapper. I felt like they were trying to tell bugs and moths to stay away, so I took it down.. I know I am crazy and too kind but I kinda believe in Karma and not hurting anything unless it hurts me so I will just use it for bbq's and times where I am outside, and make sure I have the mosquito attractant.. I know I am crazy, but that is how I feel :)
 Yellow Jacket Killer November 14, 2009

I bought the Flowtron to eradicate a large yellow jacket colony located under the vinyl siding of my house. The zapper was used only for the 4 days (2 weekends) that it took to totally wipe out the little buggers. The final death toll numbered in the thousands. The Flowtron did not clog throughout the entire encounter, even though bug bodies were piled high around it. This zapper gets 5 stars for being able to handle intense use over a short period of time.
 Flowtron Electric insect killer -for 1 acre September 11, 2009
Kathy (Elizabeth, CO)
I recently purchased the Flowtron insect killer for 1 acre, and it does not lessen the mosquito population in my yard at all! I get bit 20 ft away from it. I hear it zap a bug once in a while, but they are moths mostly. The mosquito attracting scent paper that I stuck on the bottom does not lure them away from us people! I want my money back!

i tried the stinger which only worked for a couple of days and then just stopped. the flowtron works great! its been hanging outside for a couple of months now, in all weather; hasn't clogged up and keeps our acre and a half bug free.
Still "bugged" September 8, 2009
My Two Cents Worth
After having read several favorable reviews about the Flowtron BK-40D I made the purchase. Too late did I find additional reviews citing the fact that mosquitos are not attracted to UV light alone. Even with the (costly) mosquito "attractant" installed, the unit was ineffective in drawing mosquitos to their destruction.
To it's credit the Flowtron BK-40D is very successful in eliminating a variety of insects. Unfortunately mosquitos are not among them --- and that is the "deal breaker" for me.
