Flowtron Bug Zapper BK-80D

The unit is UL certified for safety, but it is designed for outdoor use only. Because it utilizes a high-voltage grid, it should be placed in an area where children and pets are not likely to come into direct contact with the device.

No, this model is not weather-resistant. You should place it in a covered area or bring it indoors during inclement weather to prevent damage to the electrical components.

Octenol is a scent-based lure that mimics human breath and sweat, which helps draw mosquitoes and other biting insects toward the UV light. It significantly increases the trap's effectiveness compared to using the light alone.

The primary maintenance involves replacing the 80W bulb periodically to ensure the UV light remains effective. You should also occasionally clear away dead insects from the grid area to keep the device operating efficiently.

It is highly effective against mosquitoes, flies, and many other light-sensitive flying insects. However, it is not designed to attract or trap non-flying pests or insects that are not drawn to UV light.

This model is designed to cover up to 1-1/2 acres. For the best results, place the unit away from your main seating area so that the insects are drawn toward the trap rather than toward you.
