Stinger Ultra Bug Zapper

Protecting a full acre, the Stinger Ultra Bug Zapper uses two methods to lure flying pests, an ultraviolet light from a 40-watt black light bulb, and an integrated cartridge designed for the NOsquito Octenol Lure. The 40-watt black light bulb increases catch by over 40% more than traditional ultraviolet white light bulbs. The Octenol lure helps attract mosquitoes and other blood-seeking insects by emitting a scent similar to a large mammal. To help save energy the Ultra Bug Zapper showcases a sundown sensor that turns off the zapper during the day when there are no mosquitoes. An easy to see indicator switch lets you know when the zapper is working. A free nylon cord is included for improved ease of installation. The Ultra Bug Zapper includes a free NOsquito Octenol lure. Free cord included for improved ease of installation Weight - 6.00 pounds

Product Reviews

Works as designed
I purchased the Stinger UVB45 at Costco in Plano Texas recently. After reading the less than glowing reports for the UV15/UV40 model, I wasn't expecting a great outcome. Before permanently mount the unit, I placed it on the patio table at sundown and powered it up with an extension cord. After about 2 hours, there were at least a 100 to 150 small young mosquitos and a few other larger insects under the unit. I'll have to say the unit works very well in my informal testing, and it is a keeper. I live in a Dallas suburb with many pockets of stagnant water in the community, so this unit will be appeciated in the months to come.

Keep on looking
This product is not worth the price. It quit working after about 45 days, so my husband decided to check it out and found that the design was poor. The auto on board was not sealed off, which allowed moisture to enter. It is just not worth the money. Keep on looking for another brand that will hold up.

Worked well at first but doesn't last !
I bought this product after a friend's recommendation last spring. I placed it on a far corner of our deck and it did work well at killing insects. However, the grid quickly becomes clogged with dead insects and killing power is reduced drastically until you clean it with compressed air. Then, this spring I went to put it out again and the unit won't operate. I bought a new UV bulb thinking that was the issue, but it still doesn't work. Called customer support and they tell me it's likely a bad starter. Now I have to deal with returning and waiting weeks for my unit back. Get a Flowtron instead - my neighbor has had one for years!!
