Do not buy! This thing lasted about 5 minutes! One junebug took one for the team. Sacrificed himself for the greater good of bugs everywhere. He's a hero's hero among bug kind. I believe I heard the sound of taps being gently played afterward by a band of crickets. The only thing I can positively say about this product is that with the light on and no zapper ability the light attracted a million of the junebugs friends to mourn him during the funeral procession.

I'm assuming if you are reading this review you are an individual like myself, who is sick and tired of getting mauled my mosquitos every time you go outside. If my assumption is correct, do not buy this product!!! I was actually excited about getting this bug zapper, kind of lame I know but I really wanted to enjoy my back yard. So it arrives on a Friday afternoon, prefect I think. I'm going to get in touch with my inner redneck. Light up the grill, drink some beer, listen to the sizzle of bugs while my family splashes around in the pool. Heck, I'll even pull out all the stops we'll eat outside. So I open the box and this item was covered in dust. First I'm think used?? But I see no evidence of bugs, so I think well maybe it was in dusty warehouse. So I go outside put up a metal holder drag out the an extension cord and stick on the mosquito attractant. Walk back to the patio, pop open a beer and get ready for the glorious sounds of the blood suckers meeting their death. Plug it in and nothing, no humming of a bug zapper, no light, and certainly no sizzle. As I go to inspect the machine the blood beast start signaling their flying family that fresh meat has entered the backyard. As I'm batting my legs trying to get this contraption to work, I swear I could hear the mosquitos laughing. I'll be sending this back on Monday to get a refund. Worry not fellow mosquito haters, I will visit the local hardware store to attempt fry my pesky backyard vampires.

UPDATED AUG 17, 2020: DO NOT BUY. Changed from 5 stars to 1 star. After many years, my bulb failed, and I ordered another unit. The product now has a more "clear" bulb vs the blacklight style bulb of the former unit and doesn't attract bugs the same way. Or at all really. Returning. It's sad when a company has a really great product and then ruins it because of a slight change. I don't know how long this product had been changed with my former review up. FORMER REVIEW June 23, 2015: We live between a swamp and two ponds in a heavily wooded area, therefore we are always waging war on mosquitoes. This spring we placed a propane powered mosquito vac in our yard, and had to clean it every day, because the basket will fill to the point where it would loose suction and stop sucking mosquitoes. And while it did collect at least a few hundred mosquitoes a day, it would loose suction from all the bugs and the cottonwood tree fluff. So we placed this Flowtron (1/2 acre) bug zapper unit within 5 feet of the propane powered vac in hopes that it would take some of the load off of the mosquito vac. I would have been happy if the bug zapper got even half as many mosquitoes as the mosquito vac, but that was not the case! What we found was that this zapper kills at least 1000 times more mosquitoes than the propane unit!! IT'S INCREDIBLE! I included a picture of what the unit looks like in the morning after hosing it completely out. THOUSANDS of little buggers! There were maybe a few dozen bugs that weren't mosquitoes, all the rest were mosquitoes. I wouldn't expect this type of performance with just the stand alone bug zapper, I think it is due to the combination of the propane mosquito vac luring them in, that that's right beside the bug zapper. However, this mosquito carnage comes with a downside. Now we have to clean this unit out every day as well! The grid simply becomes so solid with fried mosquitoes it blocks all light from the bulb! We simply unplug, hose out with a light spray of water, and dry by setting it on our central air condenser unit for 30 min or so (gentle blast of warm air!). So 5 stars for inflicting massive damage to the mosquito population, (thousands per day!) 4.8 stars for needing to clean it out every day. I can't give 4.9 stars, .so 5 it is! WARNING: Do not hang this unit over a deck, or near anything that could burn as it will occasionally rain flaming (as in on fire!) bug debris! Seriously, there should be a warning sticker on it. FLAMING BUGS WILL FALL FROM THIS UNIT. I would not be surprised if the whole bug zapper just burst in to flames some night. (and I wouldn't at all be disappointed! DEATH TO MOSQUITOES!) We've decided to order another Flowtron, the larger 1 and 1/2 acre unit as well to hopefully better handle the mosquito load. We hang this in our yard, at the end of a 50 foot extension cord -it only has a 6 inch cord, you will need an extension cord!- on a shepherd's hook. I would never recommend hanging this on, or near anything that you weren't ready to burn to the ground. Update July 1, 2015: The 1 and 1/2 acre flowtron was a complete failure at killing mosquitoes. It didn't even really hardly kill any bugs at all! The bulb on the smaller 1/2 acre unit is like a black-light. Deep purple, not very bright. Lures in bugs like crazy. The bulb on the 1 and 1/2 acre unit is blue and super bright. Light up the whole back yard bright, including the neighbor's house bright! Crazy bright! I'm not sure if the color is wrong to attract bugs, but it actually seemed to repel them away from the mosquito vac! I'm not sure what I'll do with the 1 and 1/2 acre unit with the super bright bulb. I would never buy it again, and recommend people steer clear from it. Go with the 1/2 acre unit, it's wonderful.

I tried using this insect killer over the course of three days this past week and noticed only a very slight reduction in mosquitos: 1. There was only one confirmed kill with this zapper, and the others mostly just landed on everyone and continued biting them. We had to switch to other control methods like wearing poison, lighting special candles, and avoiding the outside. After following the directions I was eager to get to killing but unfortunately only ever saw one mosquito killed by it. I can't speak to the ease of cleaning since I just let the guy sit there and cook. It is now a husk of a mosquito that will no longer harm anyone else, but makes the zapper feel like a bit overkill. I have had much better luck with a simple fan, DEET-based repellent, and non-citronella candles. This thing just doesn't seem to do anything other than shine a bright light.

I saw a lot of great reviews on this zapper, and I was very excited to use it, but I tried it with and without the mosquito attractant, and they don't even notice it's there. On the other hand it's great redneck fun to watch it zap moths, but for mosquitos...nope. It could be the type of mosquitos we have in San Antonio are just not attracted to light.
