This supercharged insect Eliminating system puts a powerful dual-action spin on the typical bug zapping lantern with its patented 2-in-1 UV light and octenol attractant, anti-clogging grid, and high voltage transformer that outperforms virtually every competitor on today’s market. Instead of inviting flies inside to collect, crackle, and burn, the powerful 5,600-volt shocker kills them upon contact, sending remains to the ground to be absorbed by the earth. A 40-watt ultraviolet bulb easily attracts biting nuisances from near and far; and with the octenol attractant cartridge, mosquitoes come flying from up to an acre away for TWICE the Eliminating action! This is because our patented design positions the octenol cartridge close to the UV lamp, allowing the liquid to heat up, vaporize, and—in combination with CO2—mimic the breath, body odor, and musk of cattle, deer, sheep, moose, goats, oxen, yak, and other ruminants, which mosquitoes favor. Despite the unit’s shocking efficiency, it still blends seamlessly with your outdoor decor, requires minimal maintenance, and has been rigorously tested and UL certified to withstand the elements for many years of reliable and affordable pest control. For best results, hang approximately 25 feet from your outdoor living space and away from other light sources. Once ideally positioned, plug in and prepare for a bite-free backyard experience! Cancel the exterminator. It’s Flowtron to the rescue! Welcome home this patented 2-in-1 Electric Bug Zapper—the ultimate solution for ensuring cleaner, safer, more comfortable conditions anywhere you gather in the great outdoors. Position the decorative hanging lantern away from your immediate area, plug in to a standard outlet, and enjoy generous 1-acre protection from buzzing flies, biting mosquitoes, dive-bombing beetles, and other common flying pests. With longer range, higher voltage, and more luring methods than competitors, this 5600-volt model features an intense 40-watt UV bulb for attracting bugs and a patented non-clogging kill grid for zapping them to the ground. Insert an octenol cartridge into the integrated slot, and the powerful attractant is slowly warmed up by the light, resulting in 2X as many bugs eliminated! Each octenol attractant cartridge provides up to 30 days of non-toxic slow-release coverage. And there’s no changing bags, touching carcasses, refilling chemicals, or other costly upkeep necessary. Whether you’re keeping biting bugs away from your garden, backyard, barn, patio, or porch—choose the zapper with the cleanest and greenest Eliminating power! Flowtron handles any flying pest problem like a pro. Kills Upon Contact: Inferior zappers allow bugs to land, buzz around, make noise, and enter the unit before meeting their ultimate fate. Thanks to its 5,600-volt grid, ours promises instant shock-and-kill action and zero chance of escape. Non-Clogging Design: Nowhere to run, nowhere to fly—and nowhere to gather! Instead of collecting inside a box, our patented vertical grid offers a more hygienic way to catch and kill. Pests simply fall to the ground and absorb back into the earth. Brilliant UV Light: The stronger the light, the stronger the lure! We increased our ultraviolet bulb’s intensity to 40 watts, making it suitable for small-to-medium sized backyards as well as sprawling properties up to a maximum 1 acre range. Octenol Partridges: Our electronic zapper is highly effective on its own, but for mosquito-infected areas, using additional lure makes it even more powerful! The octenol cartridge slowly releases attractant for 30 days and is USDA approved. Safe for People & Pets: With your zapper hanging high up and 25 feet away from your immediate living space, there’s no threat to children, dogs, livestock, or plants. Chemical-Free operation is also friendly to local flora and fauna. Kill More, Save More: This bug killer operates for pennies a day, making it the most economical choice for securing a bite-free zone for your family. Octenol mosquito cartridge replacements are also very affordable—shop the Flowtron desertcart store! Safety tested and approved: Flowtron Bug Zappers and other pest control accessories are proudly made in the USA, manufactured with the most durable materials, and always 3rd-party tested and approved for safety and quality. This model is UL and EPA registered. Great gift for outdoor enthusiasts: Want a practical present that dad, mom, or grandparents will love? If they like spending time outdoors, the Flowtron Bug Zapper makes a wonderful gift for birthday, Father’s day, Mother’s day, Christmas, Hanukkah, and more.

Review: Want to wake up to a carpet of dead mosquitoes? This is the tool that can make it happen! - Just like the bug zapper grandma used to have! This thing works! We were being sucked dry by mosquitoes at the end of the summer and it was just intolerable to be outside. I got this a few days later got it hung out on my back porch and proceeded to massacre about two mosquitoes per second for the next three weeks. You could see a gray carpet of dead mosquito carcasses under this thing every morning. It was a glorious sight! It took out plenty of nasty cut worm moths as well. Highly effective almost frighteningly so. When I stood outside and watched it, it sounded like machine gun fire as the mosquitoes were flying into the bars. Seems to be plenty powerful to roast even the fattest moths. You get what you pay for. It is a little more expensive then the XYZ brands, but I would consider that an investment because you’ll get to use this for more than one year. Truly was a plug-in play system very easy to set up. Simply plug it in and you’re good to go. The outside cage seems plenty sturdy and the slits are small enough and far enough away from the electrical element to make sure you don’t accidentally touch it with your finger. My only minor complaint is that I had to unplug it each day and gently brush the dead moth carcasses off the electrical bars with a small twig by reaching through the safety great. After I got all of that cleaned off and my stick out and away, I plugged it back in for another day of reading my backyard of the insect hordes.
Review: Hang, plug and forget - Works really good, attracts bugs right away.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this unit be used indoor?**
A: Yes, works great indoors. The Zap might be a bit loud though. My dog runs out the doggy door when he hears the zap.

**Q: Does the light still attract mosquitoes during the daytime?**
A: the UV light attracts a ton of bugs at night but day time not so much. The Octenol makes the thing a bug killing fiend but in day time it is lack luster and probably a waste. Every morning it is 100% covered and clogged from mosquitoes and i have to use my data vac to clean it off. I use the 1 acre and 1.5 acre one and both are 100% covered by morning but during the day they hardly kill anything. They work at night well even without the Octenol but it definitely helps to have it. I have terrible mosquitoes here and mine only kills a few so if you are not flooded with them it probably won't do much for you during the day. I have to go outside with bug spray at noon to keep the mosquitoes off -_-

**Q: Is there a reason I can't use this indoor?**
A: I've been using mine indoors for years because I don't really care about the bugs outside... I don't want them in my house. This model whacks bugs day and night. it doesn't stink... the hum is loud. Death to the flying insect.

**Q: After six months of use the unit quit working and still won't after inserting new bulbs.  Can these units be repaired?**
A: Shipping cost may be as much as a new unit.
