Want to wake up to a carpet of dead mosquitoes? This is the tool that can make it happen!
Just like the bug zapper grandma used to have! This thing works! We were being sucked dry by mosquitoes at the end of the summer and it was just intolerable to be outside. I got this a few days later got it hung out on my back porch and proceeded to massacre about two mosquitoes per second for the next three weeks. You could see a gray carpet of dead mosquito carcasses under this thing every morning. It was a glorious sight! It took out plenty of nasty cut worm moths as well. Highly effective almost frighteningly so. When I stood outside and watched it, it sounded like machine gun fire as the mosquitoes were flying into the bars. Seems to be plenty powerful to roast even the fattest moths. You get what you pay for. It is a little more expensive then the XYZ brands, but I would consider that an investment because you’ll get to use this for more than one year. Truly was a plug-in play system very easy to set up. Simply plug it in and you’re good to go. The outside cage seems plenty sturdy and the slits are small enough and far enough away from the electrical element to make sure you don’t accidentally touch it with your finger. My only minor complaint is that I had to unplug it each day and gently brush the dead moth carcasses off the electrical bars with a small twig by reaching through the safety great. After I got all of that cleaned off and my stick out and away, I plugged it back in for another day of reading my backyard of the insect hordes.

Kills bugs, kept mosquito population down.
This zapper works very well! Bought it to kill mosquitoes as ours were out of control. This model killed so many bugs every night that I needed to blow it out the next morning. I'm not certain that mosquitoes were being killed, but the population dropped significantly after putting this up. Would buy again if this one breaks.

YES....This really works!
I rarely give 5 stars but if this keeps working as well as it has out of the box, this summer should have a lot less pesky bugs flying around our back porch on those warm, summer nights. I purchased the 1 Acre Coverage model because the smaller one was actually more expensive at the time plus it didn't seem like it would be as effective for my particular use. I have this plugged into a 50 feet, green outdoor quality extension cord and it is exactly 35 feet away from where we sit in the evening and night. (Never really planned it that way but that seems perfect so far) I have a 50 feet long row of hedges that stand a little over 4 feet tall and have been on my property for more than 45 years. They are great to have and separate my yard from my neighbor's. They are the perfect breeding ground for gnats, flies, mosquitoes or any type of bug that likes to bite you when you're trying to enjoy your evening. Rather than spray poisonous insecticide on my hedges, because of obvious reasons I purchased this and within seconds after I plugged it in it started snapping the little critters. I don't have mine on a timer but instead I thought I'd use the remote control electric outlet that I used to turn on and off our outside Christmas lights. (Hey, it works great plus I don't have to bend down and I can turn it off and on from inside my house if I want. Also had back surgery and bending is not good for me) The light is kinda brighter than I thought but that's actually good because it will attract more to it plus help even my neighbor's out. I do not plan on using this in the rain or even a light rain because it just makes more sense not to. Even if it doesn't hurt to I'm sure it will last longer if you take it out of the rainy weather if you think to. Not a hard thing to do plus a high wind might knock it down if not secured well. I have mine on a Shepherds Hook that was used for a bird feeder in the winter. Sorry I got off the main subject but was trying to give you ideas on how to place the zapper since it works so well but yet you wouldn't want it drawing bugs to you but instead away. The replacement bulb seems a little expensive too from what I seen so take care of the unit and do common sense maintenance on it and hopefully this will last for years, outside of buying those bulbs. I am trying to include a short video. Do not be afraid to purchase this bug zapper. Unless it arrives broken or defective you will be very happy with the results.

Rebiew 1 Acre Glowtron Electric Zapper
Nice product, works well but lacks a switch to turn it on or off , only plug snd plsy and unplug to stop It will be a better product if the company or the manufacturer incorporate a dusk to dawn as well

This is a reasonably priced very efficient bug zapper. I purchased it specifically to help deal with a very large mosquito population that prevented us from sitting outside any time of day. This unit is quite strong, reportedly covering 1 acre, which I have. The unit is well made and works great. I hung it on a plant shepherd hook about 6 feet off the ground. It comes with one Octenol cartridge which does a nice job of attracting mosquitoes to the zapper.I would highly recommend purchasing extra cartridges immediately as they should be changed monthly to be effective. Debris in the unit is easily cleaned using a can of compressed air that will last for years.

This product is not suitable for UK 240 volts, which it does not say in the product information. And despite being sold at a UK £ Price. The product is also poor quality being made primarily of cheap plastic. Although the suppliers 'Covent Garden' who it turns out are a US company promptly repaid only the purchase price when I complained and returned the product it still cost me £45.38 in postage. Avoid this product if you are in the UK and want to use with UK voltage.
