Most helpful customer reviews 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Shame On Stinger For Selling This Product By Gadget_Inspector I bought one of these when they were still $80. I would not buy one now if it was on sale for $10. If you buy one of these (and I hope that you do not), you are going to get the model that is in the picture kindly provided by Mr. Bryant. This unit has two bulbs. One of them burned out in my unit after only about a month. So, I bought a replacement (Stinger brand) bulb for about $15 at Wal-Mart. Then the other bulb burned out a few weeks later. So, I bought another bulb (another $15). Then after about three months, BOTH bulbs starting putting out a strange yellow-orange glow and the grid no longer "zapped" bugs. After a short lifetime of about three months, it went into the garbage can. Yeah, I could have messed with the warranty, but it just was not worth it. I'll bet that other people will though, and I'm going to predict that Amazon will quit selling these things because of the high rate of complaints and returns. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I doubt it. I'll never buy another Stinger or Honeywell product. I go on the consumer philosophy of "Sell me a bad product once, shame on you. Sell me a bad product twice, shame on me". You've been warned. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. mosquitos beware By Casey Campbell I dont know why all these web sites are sayin "bug zappers dont kill mosquitos"....my wife kept telling me her parents had one that worked well. I just bought one and in 30-60 minutes I had killed 200 bugs, about 45% asian mosquitos, 45% black(local) mosquitos, and 10% other bugs. After the first hour I'm impressed and don't understand why people say these dont attract them. Next im going to try the octenol and then the lurex to see if it helps, even though it did fine without either. I'm in east texas where we have both types of mosquitos. One word of knowledge, the mosquitos do stop flying when the temperature drops to 60 degrees. GET ONE! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Stinger vs Flowtron/Winner!, By scottls1 Stinger:Pros- With mosquito lure, killed lotsa bad insects (at first, then wouldn't zap small 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 ofdays- HASSLE!Flowtron "80!" (took puny 40 back!)-Pros- Killed lots more bugs, because it NEVER clogs up (zaps small insects too!)!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...I used the Stinger mosquito lure, purchased at Wally World...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 & 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. See all 7 customer reviews...

Brewer most important, it is quiet, i have it on low of the 2 settings, and no more spiders so far. The soft blue light is dim and unobtrusive, would work well as hallway night light too, but i hate light while trying to sleep and since it is on the far side of head-board, i cannot notice it at all. Perfectly quiet! no sound at all, and i have excellent hearing (so if if others said it was noisy, that is nuts-- maybe they got a bad unit?). I have no complaints. No more spiders yet, but it's only been a few days (though it was only designed for mice and flies & mosquito). I have a good feeling it will work, along with the sprays of stuff to repel them. Great on the other 2 fronts. Looks well-made, solid. Little electric usage says it costs pennies per year to leave on. I have no pets , so i do not know how it would affect them. It is plugged in like a foot from my head, on the other side of the headboard, so goodbye spiders. ...excellent price too. 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. best of items By major this is a item ,must have...even if you don't have any bugs/pests in your house or apt...The seller is on point...shipping on time...item best to have then.. NOT to have...... thank you seller. 6 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Ultrasonic Mosquito & Other Pest Repeller By K. Satyaprakash This little gadget appears to be keeping away mosquitoes sometimes but not always. I am not sure if the ultrasonic action works continuously or intermittently (when plugged in, the blue light is always on) and mosquitoes fly/bite when the ultra sonic action is in a pause mode. It is too early for me to say if it is really working. OK to have one near the bed. See all 4 customer reviews...

Wrong Instructions By Beth Ann UPDATE: I contacted the seller and told them about the troubles I had with their product. They have promised to send replacements. I will update my review again upon receiving and using the replacements.ORIGIANL REVIEW: My problem with this product is two-fold. First and foremost, they came with the wrong instructions. We did find a video (on the company's website) that showed how to assemble the monitors. Second, the CO2 generator didnt work properly because the video failed to mention that the added water needed to be lukewarm. We used room temp water and the packets did not dissolve completely. Neither monitor trapped a single bug, but we cant trust it because of the inadequate CO2 generation. We are going to try to re-use the monitors with our own CO2 generator of yeast, sugar and warm water and see how it goes. Otherwise, I'd say these were a total waste of money.

When I used this I still got a couple of bites, but not nearly as many as with spray. One disadvantage is that if it is breezy, your coverage is kind of shot. Overall I would recommend it, but it might be best to augment it with a little bug spray too. 81 of 83 people found the following review helpful. I am Crop consultant and this works! By southern heritage I live in the Deep South scouting cotton and rice. I also hunt. I live around thick mosquito areas and I am here to tell you this is way better than anything I have sprayed on my body. I am in and around swamps where it sounds like honey bees the mosquito's are so loud. The only thing is it is not odorless. It's not bad, but the blue strips do have odor to them. Also It isn't cheap to run, If you only use it occasionally it doesn't seem too bad but for me I need this every day, so it gets expensive. I have a holster that I can put this on my side. I have tried lots of products on me and around the house. This is one of the best systems. 120 of 126 people found the following review helpful. Very effective, but not as portable as I first believed By M. Willis I bought this device for deer hunting in the early fall when the mosquitos are still very plentiful. It works great, but the butane heats the device and warns the user not to touch the screen. I had hoped I could just throw it back in my pack when I was finished for the day and move on, but I'm afraid it would ignite something. It's just a minor inconvenience, but one that I would have preferred to know about before the purchase. See all 81 customer reviews...
