Product Description

Say goodbye to pesky flies and biting mosquitoes with the Outdoor Electric Bug Zapper from Flowtron! This supercharged insect eliminating system puts a powerful dual-action spin on the typical bug zapping lantern with its 2-in-1 UV light and octenol attractant, anti-clogging grid, and high voltage transformer. Instead of inviting flies inside to collect, crackle, and burn, the powerful 5,600-volt grid shocks them upon contact, sending remains to the ground to be absorbed by the earth. A 40-watt ultraviolet bulb easily attracts biting nuisances from near and far; and with the octenol attractant cartridge, mosquitoes come flying from up to one acre away! This is because our design positions the octenol cartridge close to the UV lamp, allowing the liquid to heat up, vaporize, and—in combination with CO2—mimic the breath, body odor, and musk of cattle, deer, sheep, moose, goats, oxen, yak, and other ruminants, which mosquitoes favor. Despite the unit’s shocking efficiency, it still blends seamlessly with your outdoor decor, requires minimal maintenance, and has been rigorously tested and CSA certified to withstand the elements for many years of reliable and affordable pest control. For best results, hang approximately 25 feet from your outdoor living space and away from other light sources. Once ideally positioned, plug in and prepare for a bite-free backyard experience!


How does the Flowtron Bug Zapper Work?
Step One
The 40W UV light bulb lures mosquitoes and other light-attracted insects.
Step Two
Octenol attractant ups the attraction for a 1 acre zapping radius.
Step Three
High-efficiency, non-clogging 5600V shock grid instantly zaps and eliminates bugs.
Step Four
Insect remains fall to the ground for natural reabsorption into the ecosystem.
Why Flowtron Bug Zapper?
Safety Tested and Approved
CSA Certified and third-party tested for safety and quality.
Easy Bulb Replacement
Light bulb burnt out? No problem. Replace it in seconds, no tools needed.
24/7 Pest Control
Ideal choice for clearing insects from your garden, backyard patio, picnic area, barnyard, and beyond - day and night.
Weatherproof Construction
Durable, polycarbonate construction won't rust, crack, or fade, so you can count on it.

- Reviewed in Canada on June 28, 2025Verified PurchaseI am quite pleased! Sure, after a month there's still mosquitos and black flies flying about but holy what a difference. We can actually go outside onto the yard without spraying down first. And there is something oddly satisfying when you are out in the tent and here the *CRACK* of a big one. I expect it'll take a while for the overall population to go down but its making a huge difference and zaps something about once a second all night long; Which the sparrows have discovered and will perch on the side to big cooked bugs off! I keep trying to get a pic but they fly off faster than I can get my camera phone out. Oh, and a little handheld air compressor works great at cleaning the dead bugs off (Which after 2 days in my yard the light is totally obscured by carcasses).
- Reviewed in Canada on June 1, 2025Verified PurchaseI bought it for my poor horses that were being eaten ALIVE by relentless New Brunswick mosquitos. We have lived here 5 years, and no amount of bug spray will save you in the hight of mosquito season, you simply can't enjoy the outdoors untill now!
I'm not sure if it covers a full acre, but it's definitely close. I have it attached to one of my run in sheads and the other is maybe 50' away? No mosquitos!!! My horse was terrified of the loud zapping in the beginning, but after a couple days she's gotten used to it.
Even if it only lasts a year... I'd happily buy one every year, this thing is worth it's weight in gold!! I can't believe I found the perfect solution to our mosquito problem! I see the little Flys go to it during the day time... not sure about any other Flys, either way I LOVE IT!!!

- Reviewed in Canada on August 17, 2021Verified PurchaseAs soon as it was plugged in it started killing any insect that came near it. The photo is after the first night so you can see it was doing its job.
There are a collection of dead bugs that stick to the grate surrounding the bulbs but they are easily blown off.
It seems to be doing what we bought it to do.

The product is well built.
And with 5600 volts of power to zap your bugs away!
I would recommend this product.

J’ai dû débourser 24.99$ pour m’en procurer une. Probablement du vol car, car j’ai la boîte original.
Je suis déçu!

- Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2021Verified PurchaseAre you tired of getting bit ? are you tired of spraying stinky bug spray and still get bit and are you tired of those annoying mosquitoes coils that stink like shit then look no further for this amazing device . If you have access to a power source its amazing otherwise you need a portable battery. If you have a direct power source it will last all night but the down side is it sucks up a lot of electricity so even with my portable battery pack the die hard it only gave me 3 hours of zapping sensation with full battery but hey it dose the job those 3 hours at night all the bugs specially mosquitoes all died it takes all the bugs in the area and puts them to that side and slowly kills them . It makes a loud noise when it kills them and i love it then you know for sure its working it will be perfect in your backyard also just plug it in and your good. Me and my wife went camping and every night we turn it around 9pm when its dark and until about midnight it zaps the shit out of everything we were amazed yes its pricy but sometimes in life you pay for what you get for i tried other devices they are decent but this is the 5 start cream of the crop i promise if you buy this you wont regret it just i wish it was solar powerd or had a built in battery but other that that plug in and zap away
- Reviewed in Canada on May 16, 2025Verified PurchaseFor the price I was expecting this to be very well made ....... it's cheaply made not worth the price .

Some folks seem to think you put this up and it keeps the mosquitos away - that's not how it works. It attracts the mosquitos to the unit, and then kills them. Don't set this up on your deck where you want to sit! Set it up away from your sitting area and it will attract the bugs to the Flowtron. Also, some people seem to think these work during the day - they don't. They do their work at night, when it's dark. These are designed to attract the mosquitoes to where ever the unit is placed and then kill them so they can't bite you.
5.0 out of 5 starsI have an old beater Flowtron Bug Zapper I bought at a garrage sale years ago and I was always happy with it. This year the bugs are very bad, so I searched 鶹 for another Flowtron, a bigger one than what I already had. I was slightly hesitant to purchase, based on a lot of reviews claiming it doesn't work... Well, this bug zapper works awesome! I got the one with the bright blue light, but you can get them with the black light as well. I'm very pleased with how it works and I hope it lasts as long as my old one has! See videos for some action.Flowtron Bug Zapper works GREAT!

5.0 out of 5 stars The bugs die but the Flowtron doesn't
Verified PurchaseI live in Florida in a wooded area next to a marsh. We have mosquitos and no-see-ums, flying ants, and other bugs. The flying ants seem to be attracted by light. They are small enough to get through the window screens and any small openings around the doors or windows. They come in June and have invaded my house from time to time. It is now 2024. Back in 2018, I bought the very large 2-acre coverage Flowtron Bug Zapper. I hope that by keeping the house dark and having a very bright light away from the house, the ants would stay away. It worked. I have had no flying ant problems since installing the bug zapper. There seem to be fewer mosquitos too. In 2018, I set up the 2-acre bug zapper on the porch of a shed. The shed had a small overhanging roof. I attached it to a light sensor that turned on the light at dusk and turned it off at dawn. It ran every night from June 2018 to Fall 2023, surviving a hurricane, many heavy Florida thunderstorms, and the daily heat & humidity of Florida. There are not as many bugs in the winter, so I did not replace it until May. This time I choose the smaller 1-acre zapper. When I plugged it in, it didn't work. I finally figured out that the dusk/dawn sensor was broken. I replaced that and found out that the 2-acre zapper was also still working. So now both are up and running. The bad side is that these zappers needlessly kill a lot of moths / The good side is the zapped bugs fall on the deck, and each morning at sunrise, birds come and eat BBQ bugs. / If I were to do this again, I would buy two 1-acre zappers instead of the one 2-acre bug zapper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zap
Verified PurchaseThis thing works great. The outside is plastic but I have not had an issue with that. Mosquitos were bad this year and just kept hearing them get fried.
Definitely does the job, but dont be too close when its running , the zapping and popping of evil skeeters
can get quite loud.

5.0 out of 5 stars It cost more than the rest because it actually works
Verified PurchaseI had bought one of these last summer after trying countless cheaper ones bought from 鶹. The cheap ones don’t last or flat out don’t work. This one works the best. Lasts a long time and draws pesky insects in from a long way. If you want a good bug zapper don’t mess with the cheapo ones. Buy this one and you won’t regret it.
