Product Description
Amazon.com Review
Insects can ruin a picnic or deck party in no time, so this electronic bug zapper helps keep the flying variety away at least. Protecting a full acre, the Stinger uses two methods to lure flying pests: a blue ultraviolet light from a 40-watt fluorescent bulb, and a chunk of "NOsquito" mosquito attractant that attaches directly to the underside of the 18-by-9-inch cylinder. As insects enter the cylinder's grid and hit the light, they are killed and fall to the ground through the open bottom. The grid prevents children's hands, birds, and butterflies from touching the bulb.
For best results, the Stinger should be hung at least seven feet off the ground and about 25 feet away from where people will be gathering. A strong metal loop on top allows hanging from a branch or bracket, and the 10-inch integral power plug can be plugged into an outdoor extension cord. The UV bulb should be changed yearly for best results. Waterproof and rugged, the Stinger is covered by a three-year warranty and is also available in a smaller size. --Ann Bieri
High-impact polycarbonate plastic housing with UV blacklight that attracts phototropic insects and lures them into killing grids. Once inside the killing grid, power from high voltage transformer quickly and efficiently eliminates flying insect. Unit should be placed 25-foot to 50-foot away from house or areas of human activity and at least 6-foot to 8-foot off the ground. Required maintenance is annually replacing the UV black light and periodically cleaning the killing grids. CUL and CSA listed. Plugs into 120V outlet.

Customer Reviews
I changed my Stinger rating from a 5, to a 1 (there was no O!)
Stinger:
Pros- With mosquito lure, killed lotsa bad insects (at first, then wouldn't zap small 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 "80!" (took puny 40 back!)-
Pros- Killed lots more bugs, because it NEVER clogs up (zaps small insects too!)!
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...
I used the Stinger mosquito lure, purchased at Wally World...
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 ; 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.
I put a couple of these zappers between my house and some treed wetlands. They kill so many Mosquitoes and other insects that I have to clean the Stingers out every week or two. Fortunately, an electric yard blower cleans them out pretty easily. I don't even have to unplug them. One precaution: don't use this near a picnic bench or your pets water or feed bowl. Exploding insects can't be very healthy to consume for man or beast. I would have rated this item five stars except that the replacement bulbs cost about $20 each and need to be replaced in pairs every 4 to 6 months.
