Flowtron Electric Bug Zapper Outdoor Insect Killer Lantern, 1/2 Acre Coverage, 15W UV Light, Black

We have a typical size city lot for our area. Our town sprays for mosquitos periodically, but we have noted that their numbers only decline for a few hours to a day and then explode for about 3 weeks after each spraying. Not sure what the town is actually using or doing. Anyway, we had to take matters into our own hands as it was becoming impossible to do anything outside. The dog didn't even want to be outside they were so bad. We have one of these positioned in the front apart from the front door which seems to cover the driveway, walk as well as the porch and door. We have another in the back yard to draw away from the back door. We have to clean them off at least once per week. They do a fantastic job drawing insects away from the doors and have cut down the number of insects actually getting into the house by a huge degree. Plan to have more of them for next summer to help us better enjoy our yard.

It works great, have it about on a post about 12 feet from the back door, each time a mosquito is drawn to the light, you hear the Zap sound. It is like having a security system for mosquito bites. The dead bugs drop out of the bottom, into our planter, so they serve up as fertilizer . We have had no problems; it's a low-cost, low-maintenance way of keeping you from getting bitten.
