Flowtron Insect Killer

No, this model is strictly designed for outdoor use. It uses a high-voltage grid that is intended for open-air environments and should not be placed inside homes, garages, or enclosed patios.

The BK-40D is rated to cover up to 1 acre of outdoor space. For the best results, place it away from your primary seating area to draw insects toward the unit and away from where you are relaxing.

Yes, the 40-watt bulb is designed to attract a wide range of flying insects, including mosquitoes. While it is highly effective, it works best when placed in a dark area away from competing light sources like porch lights.

Yes, the bulb is replaceable. To maintain maximum attraction power, it is recommended to replace the bulb at the start of each season, as the UV output can diminish with heavy use.

Maintenance is minimal. You should occasionally clear away dead insects from the collection grid to ensure the unit continues to operate efficiently, but otherwise, it is designed for set-it-and-forget-it outdoor use.

Like most light-based traps, it may attract some beneficial insects if they are active at night. However, because it relies on UV light, it is significantly less likely to attract pollinators that are primarily active during the day.
