Amazon.com Review
Zap bugs for up to 1/4 acre with Flowtron's BK 7 Insect Killer. Instead of using noxious fogs, sprays, or poisons, the Insect Killer kills insects with light and electricity. Flying insects, drawn to the device by the high-intensity black light bulb, pass through a fatal electrically charged grid. The open grid casing catches some of them; the rest fall to the ground. Flowtron makes this device with a rugged, durable, weatherproof construction--to protect children and pets from the charged grid--and a hanging hook. Designed for outdoor use only, the unit emits a bluish glow when operating and must be hung 6 to 8 feet off the ground and 25 to 50 feet away from people. The bulb is easy to replace (about once a season), but may flicker slightly when bugs fly across the killing grid. --Emily Bedard

MINI ZAP!!,
By
This review is from: Flowtron BK-7 7-Watt, 1/4-Acre Insect Killer (Lawn & Patio)
The perfect size for small patios, balconies, or screened porches. Zapper has a lower grid voltage than most units at about 1,900 volts. (Larger zappers can have grid voltages of up to 5,000 volts.) This minimizes the loud "SNAP" sound of insects meeting their demise. If you have close neighbors who won't appreciate the noise of your new toy, this is ideal.The wire grids on the zapper are close enough to allow even the smallest gnats or mosquitos to be eliminated by the lower voltage. The unit also works very well on houseflies. Larger bugs, like big moths or "June bugs" seem to bounce right off, without getting zapped. You may have to clean dead insects out of the grids once in a while. A small brush will work. The seven watt fluorescent tube is bright (blue colored when lit), but it won't compete with a 100 watt halogen yard floodlight. So, place the zapper in a dark area where bugs are drawn to it first. Also, note that at seven watts output, it draws very little electricity. One concern: The wound grid design doesn't shed rain water like some of the larger units with vertical grids. It will sizzle and snap if the grids get wet. That is why I gave four stars instead of five. Keep it dry (hang under the eves, or in the screened porch) and it should be fine. I've had this for over a year now--recommended.

Worked great for several years! Yes, I'm buying them again!,

This review is from: Flowtron BK-7 7-Watt, 1/4-Acre Insect Killer (Lawn & Patio)
I purchased two of these and had them for several years. They may look cheap, but they work just fine. I left them out all year round, through summer heat, rain, snow, freezing weather. I just unplugged them for the winter and left them hanging. The only maintenance they got was when I took an old toothbrush and cleaned the grid. They worked great, and gave me more than their money's worth of service. I am now buying three more, so I guess that's a pretty good review.
