1.0 out of 5 stars Shame On Stinger For Selling This Product, July 12, 2007

By

This review is from: Stinger UV801S 80 Watt 1-1/2-Acre Advanced Bug Zapper (Lawn & Patio)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars mosquitos beware, March 20, 2006

By 

Casey Campbell - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Stinger vs Flowtron/Winner!,, September 11, 2006

By

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 of

days- 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.
