Stinger: Pros- With mosquito lure, killed lotsa bad 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 BK-80D (took the wimpy 40w back!)- UPDATE- NOTE!- Spray electrical grid bars with PAM when new for easier cleaning later, but be SURE & remove bulbs FIRST or they will crack. -I tried Carefully spraying Just the bars with water, and ruined the unit (saved the old bulbs)! Pros- Killed lots more bugs, because it NEVER clogs up! 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. Update!- Forget the pricy attractant! My Flowtron 80w kills mosquitos!- Hundreds of dead ones underneath! My Flowtron 15w didn't do much, but 40w was pretty good (much cheaper bulbs)! My theory!- Mosquitos are attracted to the heat that is generated when moths... are zapped! I've watched the mosquitos come as moths are being zapped!- Love the zapping noise (not that loud)! 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, to 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. Removing the bulbs to clean them WILL cause the socket contacts to fail!- I never did figire out how to thoroughly clean the bulbs (High psi compressor helps, and IS a must!- Vacuum cleaner is too wimpy!)!?
