Black Flag 5500V Bug Zapper

The Black Flag 5500V is designed to provide coverage for up to 1.5 acres, or approximately 65,340 square feet, making it suitable for large backyards and outdoor spaces.

No, the built-in sensor detects ambient light levels and automatically activates the zapper at night and turns it off during the day, allowing for completely hands-free operation.

The unit features durable plastic housing designed specifically for outdoor use. However, it is a plug-in electrical device, so it should be positioned in a location where the power cord and outlet remain protected from direct water exposure.

Octenol is a chemical attractant that mimics human breath and sweat, which helps draw mosquitoes and other biting insects toward the zapper more effectively than light alone.

No, this model is specifically engineered for outdoor use. It is not intended for indoor environments due to the high-voltage grid and the nature of the attractants used.

Over time, insect debris may accumulate on the grid. You should periodically unplug the unit and use a soft brush or compressed air to clear away any buildup to ensure the 5500-volt grid continues to function at peak efficiency.
