Amazon.com Review
Flowtron's lantern-style insect killer uses nontoxic ultraviolet light to eliminate mosquitoes, biting flies, and other insects over a 1/2-acre area. The insect killer is cleaner and safer than its chemical counterparts, and its patented nonclogging killing grid eliminates the grid clogging that can short-circuit the unit or cause flare-ups of insect remains. The insect killer features high-impact construction and a protective outer enclosure to prevent children, pets, birds, or wildlife from contacting the charged grid.

 Mosquito Wars September 3, 2008
D. Stoddard (Jacksonville, Fla)
We live within 30 feet of a north Florida wetland and we were besieged by mosquitos especially after tropical storm 'Fay'. After a lot of research,I ordered this product. I have found it very effective in 'moving' the bugs away from my patio deck and where people congregate. You can't 'Zap' them all and there are always stragglers so keep it away from people!! I can now go out on my patio 'bug free',but I don't go near the Flowtron (w/octenol) unless I want to be bitten. I have tried running it all night and I found it coated with dead mosquitos-thousands. My patio is now mosquito free. On the patio and within 60 feet of the Flowtron is another collection device - a Dynatrap which I later placed to catch stragglers. But the biggest collector by far is the Flowtron. Placing the traps 60 feet apart has been highly effective with the Dynatrap being within 10 feet of the patio, and the Flowtron w/octenol 50 feet away. Octenol is a great mosquito lure and also used in county mosquito control traps.
Kills a Lot of Bugs But Cord is Very Short August 30, 2008

For all the negatives, I am giving it 4 stars because it does it job so well.
Pros:
-It does it job well.
Cons:
-Power cord is not even a foot long. You will always need an extension.
-Loud, but I don't know any effective zappers without that kind of noise especially when it get bigger insects
-It does not have a pan to catch the insects so expect to see a little mess at the foot of the zapper.
-Not a very attractive design
Minimize the pesty mosquitos August 27, 2008
M. Bartley (Queens, NY)
I bought this two weeks before my backyard bbq and it was a great help. Before I had it, as soon as I stepped outside, mosquitos would start biting me if I had no repelant. But within a week the Flowtron had minimize the pests. I had about 50-60 people at my bbq and no one complained of getting a mosquito bite. Unfortunately it kills all bugs,so I have no more lightening bug flying around. I liked those bugs. But to good, sometimes have to suffer for the bad.
Does the job August 12, 2008

I have a mulberry tree next to my driveway and for six miserable weeks each summer, I have berries dropping all over the place. Of course, the flies eventually show up to feast on them. This year was particularly bad, and we even had a horde of moths show up. It got so bad that when we would drive up at night, we had to drive through a cloud of insects, which is when I decided to buy this Flowtron product. I have had similar products before and they all seem to work pretty much the same. I mounted this one about four feet high near the driveway and turned it on. It instantly attracted the moths and within a day or two, they were no longer a problem. The flies were a bit harder to get rid of, because they hatch new flies every week or so. But this product thinned out their numbers to an acceptable level until the berries stopped falling. Next year I will put this in place early and hope to prevent the insect explosion that I experienced this year.
