TheASTrader lmfao

Literally thought the exact same thing. Especially the ones that smolder into a big puff of smoke 😈

+Roger Altamirano Ha...........

I love this thing too.

After we bought our house, we stopped using it. We live in the desert and the thought of one of those moths catching fire, dropping down and starting a brush fire in the middle of the night was too great. We are going to put it up in our chicken run, less fire risk there. We have the run built and the coop is up but, needs to be finished inside. I just haven't been motivated enough to buy the chicks yet. I will make a video showing the results after everything is finished.

@@L2Survive Awesome! We're excited to see the video once you post it :)

I never looked it up but I figured that was the only reason I would have so many mosquitos without any attractant added. Sometimes it would get so covered that you couldn't even see the light on. Now after a bug gets stuck on it, it will stop zapping after a minute or so. Some bugs catch on fire and some make it stop working

Flowtron Diplomat? FC 8800

With a little soapy water at the bottom to drown them?

Right?!

It would get you some nice well fed trout on a lake shore!

Put the Flowtron Diplomat over it (huge beast)

Your comment is the funniest lol

Lol

Ali Ismail

what kind did you get

Mosquitoes and house flies :).

You add it to your food

+papinbala Yes it did but, I have not used it yet. Saving it for a camping trip.

+L2Survive ohhh ok so it works well even without it huh? ok good to know.

+L2Survive I think you should have said something about that when you were unboxing. just a friendly suggestion.

@@garyenwards1608 wtf I almost couldn't breathe from laughing so hard at your comment

I don't know if flies are attracted to that type of light. This fly in my office right now seems to like my GE LED. I wonder if they ever thought of making a regular light bulb with a zapper for indoor use?

LOL BBQ Chicken Eggs. You could sell that.

Exactly. If you find one, let me know.

tkdrgnon It is not loud. We have dogs here and they couldn't care less about it. Even if they did at first, it is one of those things that you get use to and forget is even there.

tkdrgnon Doesn't make my dog bark, it freaks her out and makes her run and hide. LOL

You can leave it on unless the tain is coming in sideways. It's pretty much water proof.

@@ronsmith1886 I see, that's true, thank you very much!

The modern cheap ones use a circuit board with cheap electronics. The old ones and the flowtron models use the same technology used in the old ones, a basic high voltage transformer. The reason the bugs are stuck in the grid in this video is probably because the insects got dried out before they finished being zapped. But I think the grid current on the flowtron is much higher vs the cheap circuit board ones.

It works well on things attracted to light. When we took it camping with us last year, it was zapping bugs by the lake all day.

+gljay The extension cord was really long so, I only did it for a couple of days before moving it back. It worked out pretty well though. Just keep the cord above the chickens reach. Since this pen was covered at the top, it was easy enough.

+L2Survive this is what I was thinking of doing when I finally get the global currency reset and my investment comes in. I might even add a regular light near by to attract more.

NTACvOS I may have more gnats than you do but, I constantly see these little bugs getting popped by this zapper.

L2Survive [Sorry this is so long...I'm just wordy! Trying to be helpful , I swear! LOL] Anything is possible and I've never been to Washington State, but just to give perspective on the mid-atlantic area where I am (Washington D.C.-area).. It is in large measure a swamp - much of it having been drained and the streams buried under all the neighborhoods. The summers are hot, wet and humid, the winters are wet and mild - I doubt anyone further north has bugs the way we do here. If that weren't bad enough (bug-wise), my little suburban property borders a preserved wetland. BUG CITY! Further, the gnats I have are vicious, focusing on attacking eyes, nose and ear openings. I've been chased out of my own yard by them on many occasions. I still haven't gotten a positive ID on them, but I suspect they are these guys: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceratopogonidae. These are not the gnats that buzz around your food or just swarm over the lawn in clusters. ;) (There are probably thousands of kinds of gnats...mostly GOOD GUYS who are plant decomposers.) My gnats also only seem to be out during sunlight hours. Gardening at night has been known to happen in my yard. (Though not often.) That's already more typing that I wanted...to sum up, I doubt you have more bugs than me and I doubt they are as annoying. ;) Also, if you were able to ID the bugs in the pile at the bottom of your zapper, most would be GOOD BUGS or neutral bugs. Unless you are using octenol to attract mosquitos, it's extremely unlikely any of the bugs in your pile are mosquitos. King County in Washington State (at least close to you, if not where you are) offers this guide, specifically guiding against the usage of bug zappers for the reasons I mentioned: www.kingcounty.gov/environment/stewardship/nw-yard-and-garden/yard-talk/episodes/13-good-bugs-bad-bugs.aspx My curent plan for dealing with the gnats is to eliminate as much open-lawn (and open-woodchip) area as possible by planting more non-grass plants and including some raised beds and mounded plantings. The hope is that this plan will reduce the available habitat for them and, by increasing texture of the soil (non-flat so more areas can dry out between rains) and variety of plants/flowers, and therefore increase the attractiveness of my property to even more good bugs and birds, including gnat predators. Good luck with your bugs in any event!! :)

NTACvOS Oh! Get yourself some Skeeter Beater™ if you're getting personally harassed by your bugs. It's way better than DEET sprays and is made from plant oils (like geranium, peppermint and rosemary). It's VERY smelly though, so you won't want to be inside with it on. :) I apply it to my shoes and hat when I'm outside and get from 20min to an hour of protection on a hot, sweaty day. (And I remove the hat and shoes before spending time inside.)

L2Survive Ew! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_zapper#Drawbacks Never even thought about that second one! One key quote from the article: "A study over a summer found that 13,789 insects were killed, of which 31 were biting insects." and there's a good citation for that on Wikipedia if you want more info. :) I think flies are the main target we'd care about using a zapper. Or yellowjacket's/wasps if you need to target a nest. If flies and yellowjackets aren't the main problem, a repellant is probably the best solution for the bugs that bug you and me. To make a zapper work on skeeters requires an attractant. May as well buy personal repellant IMO....then it goes where you go for 100% coverage. LOL

@@NTACvOS Any bug that manages to wander into the proximity of where I could potentially become aware of it's existence is a "BAD BUG".... imo lolol PS, I'm 100% dead ass serious 😐 shit I would find immense pleasure in recording time-lapse footage of massacre every night and play that shit in the background as part of my daily morning routine 🤩

+Scott Steel I don't know. It works on anything that is attracted to light. It will work with mosquitoes but, you have to use a mosquito attracter.

Mosquitos are attracted to heat, sweat and CO2. Unless you put the mosquito bait in it, you will not get many zapped.

This guy didnt use any bait & it was steady frying bugs.

97warlock ismyname I have one of these, doesn't get too many mosquito though. Just regular bugs, moths

My main reason is for mosquitos. I just plugged it in about 20 minutes ago just outside my bedroom window about 10 feet from house, hasnt its 750pm & I saw a Mosquito floating around it several times but he didnt go in it. So far not even one zap.

Love it. Each night I hang it out just before dark & plug it in ......... Every 5 seconds another Dead mosquito & sometimes a few at a time even, wish everybody had one, there'd be no Zeka

where did you get it from

It did back then but, for her 25 birthday, I poured about $3k into it and got her a new top, clutch, brakes and a whole lot more. I could have swapped her out for a little newer model but, ya gotta dance with the one you brought.

No. You would have to be the first. I have a lot of people tell me that I have the voice (and face) for radio. That comes from when I was a DJ at a roller skating rink for a few years growing up.

That is Babygirl, my daughter.

You do realize how many volts and how much energy they need to do this right? Thats why batteries don't last long on big ones. Stop being pissed off by your ignorance and start learning
