I got a Flowtron bug zapper before I moved to my ranch and used it Benbrook for a summer, I was fairly impressed. This evening I heard a buzzing/humming sound all around my ranch and figured out there had been quite a bug hatch. I have had to blow it off 3 times since dark, due to the caked on dead bugs. The live ones couldn't get to the electrodes due to the dead bodies. I love this thing.

I need to get a new one, my old one burned out. Lots of flying bugs so far but no mosquitos yet.

It is the commercial grade of bug zappers for sure. A cheap one from Wal-Mart would have died tonight for sure.

Do those things really make much of an impact? I know they’re fun, but I don’t know how effective they really are.

Skeeters are not attracted to light. A&M says the zapper zaps more good bugs than bad bugs. Since you asked.

I have the Flowtron 1 1/2 acre one. Nothing like sitting out back with a cocktail listening to the sound of the bugs going zip zap and away grin

For the second year we are fighting mosquitoes inside and outside the house. We've lived there 18 years and can't figure out what has changed. No standing water in the attic or around the house. There's always been a little tank out back, across the fence line. If it was flies, I'd blame the neighbor's horses. We're going through cans of fogger spray around the entry doors. confused2

Try some of those Mosquito Dunks. I've been told they help by a couple of people.

All my good bugs are in bed at night because they have to be at work in the morning. Only my bad ones come out at night.

My experience with a bug zapper says ya&m are full of crap. I dumped load of mosquitoes out of one during the worse times.

There are some propane powered ones out there. Heat and carbon dioxide attract the skeeters and something kills 'em. Never seen one but you could look it up. Or maybe Mr. Oxner will.

I put out two last year, pure waste of money. I heard they are being sued due to them not working and false advertising.
