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

 Bugged October 12, 2008
Purchased two units, and one was DOA. Fast ship for unit replacement. Overall, these are not a good buy in my opinion. No bulb retainer is provided, even when the doc's show one. Power is too low to keep the electronic grid clean, and no access is provided to clean the grid. The grid itself seems poorly attached to the top of the unit.
Continually arcing October 6, 2008
Got the unit and installed it, it does seem to attract flies and such. However the wires on the electrified mesh are too close together so they are continually arcing. This seems to be a design flaw. It makes a lot of noise and interferes with the TV in the house Don't buy this one until they fix it.
Never stops Buzzing! August 27, 2008
The electric current constantly arcs across a separator on the electrical grid. So, the unit sounds like it is constantly killing insects but is only making noise. It kills some bugs but it appears the arcing noise/light scares the insects away as they are flying towards the light. Not recommended.
1/2 Acre Unit works better August 25, 2008
I bought two of the 1/2 acre size and they worked just fine. They zap a bug and that's it. So, I decided to save some money and bought two of the 1/4 acre size (for indoor use in a small space). They zap bugs all right, but then keep buzzing since the bugs are not zapped out of the killing screen. The continuous buzzing is quite annoying, so I am now going to replace them with the 1/2 acre size.
came from Amazon busted up May 26, 2008
cant say much about how effective this item is, because like several others it came broken from amazon. looks like a shipment was airdropped out of the back of a plane with a tiny parachute.
