Flowtron 1 Acre Electric Insect Killer
Overall It's a good hefty size. It seems built well. It does what it says. I haven't gone out to check the mosquito population, but I hear it takes about 6 weeks to work its magic. I only have 2 notes. (1) When opening the Mosquito Attractant GO OUTSIDE, WEAR DISPOSABLE GLOVES. I did wear the gloves but did it inside. (2) There is a small gap in the brass colored ring holding it up. A thin line would go through it. OK, I just went outside 11:30pm and it was very active and a lot of bugs around. I need to move it further away from my door. I tried to get pictures but it was too dark to see the ring. I checked on the price of replacement bulbs and this one is fairly cheap at $12.

    Thousands of mosquitoes biting the dust every nite
    I put my bug zapper on a timer that shuts down at 11:30 each nite. It zaps almost constantly while it is on. I have so many mosquitoes that I have not been able to eat at my back yard table because we are constantly bothered by the thousands of mosquitoes. After a week of using the bug zapper, we can now again use our backyard to play and eat.

    Great unit, excellent customer service!
    I bought my Flowtron the end of June 2021. It worked fantastic! Unfortunately I only got to use it a few weeks because rain shorted out the electrical unit. I emailed Flowtron directly and attached a photo from my purchase history. They were great - sent me out a replacement right away!

    Nice sized for a large backyard. Seems powerful.
    This is an awesome bug zapper. Some of the larger bugs.. wow. Better than watching tv. The cord is a few inches short, but must be so the connection is above the top of the unit.. Comes with mosquito attractant.

    What we needed.
    As soon as I plugged it in, it zapped it's first mosquito. Throughout the night it sounded like an electric storm zapping moths and mosquitoes. To add to the joy of buying this, we have had an explosion of tent caterpillars this year, so very happy we bought his to hopefully zap the ones we miss when they turn into a moth before it lay eggs again for next year. Hoping that is takes care of the moths that will eventually attack the garden too. This zapper also went through a rain storm here and stayed working great. The outside grids are narrow so it will not kill the larger moths like the Tarantula moth or Luna moth. It was kind of difficult to clean the electric grid.

    BEST MOSQUITO
    This is the best mosquito bug zapper EVER. It kills thousands, hundreds of mosquitos and bugs every day! I had purchased so many different kinds of mosquito trappers before from over $400 to lately over $100 Dyna trap, nothing works!! This Flowtron Zapper is the BEST. I went back to get a 2nd one within a week. One for my front yard and the other for the back Yard. Walmart has the BEST PRICE and THE BEST DELIVERY.

    Almost better than Fourth of July
    So far so good. Zapping the heck out of them little boogers. We really got it to kill the June bugs that are destroying our fruit trees. The openings are to small for them to fly straight in but it's made that way for the right reasons. So, it shall kill what it kills. Heck, I hate them winged little blood suckers too.

    Worth the money
    Works great! I don't know if it actually covers an acre of land as I don't have that large of a lot. I do however have a double lot. I have only had it a few days but so far very pleased. If anything changes I will update my review otherwise I say it is a well spent $40.00 (ish) dollars!

    Great Big Zapper
    Awesome. Plugged it in and it started working. I was surprised how it also lit up the whole yard at night with a soft blue light. The bugs in Missouri eat me up . This makes it where I can sit on my porch and enjoy the night air. Not have to go back inside before dark. Love it!

    Best Bug Zapper!
    We have been using Flowtron Electronic Insect Killers for 20+ years. We live on a .4 acre lot in a subdivision with lots of trees. There are 5 of these Flowtron zappers hung under the eve around our parameter. It works great, but it is best to unplug them before rain starts.

    Excellent bug killer
    I bought this to take out the mosquitoes, boy is it! Every morning I wake up to a pile of dead bugs. The wasps here are giants! The insect lamp killer is roasting them. We were thrilled watching and listening to the zapping sounds of their demise; the puff of smoke as each wasp is zapped is fun bonus. I recommend this; I don't have any where near an acre, but I would not downgrade. I doubt the smaller lamps would get the job done. The pile on the ground are dead bugs from one night.

    Works great
    Kills just about everything flying that comes near it. Must have zapped 1 million bugs the 1st week alone. Keep away from home though. Follow directions.
