Works As Advertised

The first two nights of use, I placed newspaper under the unit to catch most of the insects eliminated by the Flowtron Model 40. I determined that it does indeed kill mosquitoes. Living in central Texas, this is vitally important to us in order to better enjoy our backyard deck. I did not install the included octenol lure, because experience and expert advice both indicate that this particular attractant actually repels Asian Tiger Mosquitoes, which we have far more of than other species. The Flowtron also kills non-target insects, such as beetles and moths. If you are uncomfortable with this fact, then look at the more expensive units like a Skeeter Vac, which also does a good job on all mosquito species without using attractants. (If you live in an area without Asian Tigers, try the octenol lure on your unit and determine its efficacy yourself.) However, moths are a nuisance insect, damaging clothing and leaving caterpillars to eat my plants.

I read comments that this unit kills beneficial insects. Being an organic gardener, I have not found any dead beneficial insects (major species like ladybugs, lacewings, trichogramma wasps, etc.) under my unit, but I only use it at night, when I observe little or no flying activity by such insects. You will have to make your own determination on this issue as well, if you intend to run the Flowtron during the day. It would be good if there was a Lurex bait for this unit to better attract Asian Tigers, but I did not mark down for this because the unit works as advertised and I am satisfied with its performance as part of my multi-tiered approach to enhancing our back yard enjoyment.

reduce mosquitoes

Product is excellent in reducing mosquitoes and other flying insects. I need to order 1 or 2 per year, however because they only last a few months and replacement of bulb does not correct malfunction. With deadly mosquito borne diseases . I feel this product is necessary.

Awesome

This is a great bug killer, My last Flowtron lasted 15 years, hope this one will also. easy to clean also.

Don

the item arrived very quickly, was exactly as described, and works perfectly. The shipping cost break was great. I am very satified.

Very Efficient

This was bigger and heavier than I expected but it works well. I have to blow the bug remains off periodically or it gets so full the new bugs have no room to enter.
