Stinger:
Pros- With mosquito lure killed lotsa bad insects- BUT!
Cons- Their electric wire grid uses square wires that QUICKLY clog up. Pretty soon it was packed solid & killing nothing!
I had to keep blowing it out ( air compressor) every couple of
days- HASSLE!
Flowtron BK-80D (took the wimpy 40w back!)-
UPDATE-
NOTE!- Spray electrical grid bars with PAM when new for easier cleaning later but be SURE & remove bulbs FIRST or they will crack.
-I tried Carefully spraying Just the bars with water and ruined the unit (saved the old bulbs)!
Pros- Killed lots more bugs because it NEVER clogs up! The electric rods are straight up/down so no cross wires to catch falling insects & clog. Dead insects fall out the bottom- Blow clean once a month.
Update!-
Forget the pricy attractant! My Flowtron 80w kills mosquitos!- Hundreds of dead ones underneath! My Flowtron 15w didn't do much but 40w was pretty good (much cheaper bulbs)!
My theory!- Mosquitos are attracted to the heat that is generated when moths... are zapped!
I've watched the mosquitos come as moths are being zapped!- Love the zapping noise (not that loud)!
Cons- The only con is that the outer protective plastic cage HAD bars only about 1/2" apart (same with Stinger)- This kept larger moths... from being able to easily get in to the electric grid.
I used a large wire cutter to cut out every 3d bar on top 2/3ds of cage. Alternating... so cut bar was in the middle of two solid bars on adajacent side- Still rigid!
I put it on an outside timer (for when evenings cool down- Not much insect activity below 55 degrees...). Adjust accordingly.
Never hang it near a door as their is always a 10'+ swarm of insects around it.
Try to hang it over head high in a DRY (electric) area.
Removing the bulbs to clean them WILL cause the socket contacts to fail!- I never did figire out how to thoroughly clean the bulbs (High psi compressor helps and IS a must!- Vacuum cleaner is too wimpy!)!?
