Flowtron Review LJHB
The flowtron Insect killer is extremely well designed and fabricated. It is far superior in operation than its competitor's model. I would highly recommend this device.

Flowtron Model BK-40D Electronic insect killer
This bug wacker is doing the job. It was bought at a very reasonable cost.

Works Well, But Starter is Hard to Replace
The unit works well at attracting and zapping bugs. But about a year after I bought it, the lamp stopped working. I replaced the bulb but that didn't fix the problem. As it was under warranty, I contacted Flowtron and they thought it was the starter, and since I told them I was technically knowledgeable, they sent me a replacement.

To replace the starter I had to remove the cover, remove the transformer, clip the 2 leads from the old one, and solder the new one in place. The manual actually says that the unit must be returned to have the starter replaced and I can see why. I don't mind having to replace a part once in a while, but if the starter is a part that wears out regularly, it should be designed to be replaced easily by the user. Having to return it to Flowtron or use a soldering iron is unacceptable.

Flies seem to ignore it
The box says it works for flies, but in our yard flies seem to complete ignore it. It kills moths (hmm, moths are attracted to light, who knew?) But our issue is backyard flies (both tiny ones and middle-size) from god-knows-where and they seem to ignore this device, day or night.

Product came completely assembled and ready to go. I installed in on a circuit controlled by a photo electric eye so it is on only on at night. It controls flying insects very well.
