Customer Rating:      Summary: Minimize the pesty mosquitos Comment: I bought this two weeks before my backyard bbq and it was a great help. Before I had it, as soon as I stepped outside, mosquitos would start biting me if I had no repelant. But within a week the Flowtron had minimize the pests. I had about 50-60 people at my bbq and no one complained of getting a mosquito bite. Unfortunately it kills all bugs,so I have no more lightening bug flying around. I liked those bugs. But to good, sometimes have to suffer for the bad.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Does the job Comment: I have a mulberry tree next to my driveway and for six miserable weeks each summer, I have berries dropping all over the place. Of course, the flies eventually show up to feast on them. This year was particularly bad, and we even had a horde of moths show up. It got so bad that when we would drive up at night, we had to drive through a cloud of insects, which is when I decided to buy this Flowtron product. I have had similar products before and they all seem to work pretty much the same. I mounted this one about four feet high near the driveway and turned it on. It instantly attracted the moths and within a day or two, they were no longer a problem. The flies were a bit harder to get rid of, because they hatch new flies every week or so. But this product thinned out their numbers to an acceptable level until the berries stopped falling. Next year I will put this in place early and hope to prevent the insect explosion that I experienced this year.
Customer Rating:      Summary: gets the bugs Comment: It's a good unit it attracts the mosquitos and zaps them dead.
I would buy this item again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Not a happy camper Comment: It did NOT appear to help with my fly situation at all. I took it to my son's, and it did great with mosquitoes and moths in the evenings.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Works wonderfully indoors! Comment: I am thrilled with this lamp! We have a house with a lot of flowers close to doors and windows and have tons pf flies and flying insects coming inside. I put this lamp in our kitchen and first day - twelve dead flies. Also, I put it next to a fruit bowl with tiny fruit insects and they were gone within a day. Nothing I have ever used has done this before.
I have read the other reviews and must say I don't find the lamp loud, except when it zaps an insect. Frankly, I don't mind this because it is the comforting sound of another bug gone! I wouldn't put it right next to my bed - it is a bit loud when it zaps and the lamp is bright, but you can put it right outside a bedroom door and it does a beautiful job. I can't recommend it enough for indoor use. I have not used it outside (I don't want to zap beneficial insects), so I can't comment about this.
