 Works wonderfully indoors! August 6, 2008

I am thrilled with this lamp! We have a house with a lot of flowers close to doors and windows and have tons pf flies and flying insects coming inside. I put this lamp in our kitchen and first day - twelve dead flies. Also, I put it next to a fruit bowl with tiny fruit insects and they were gone within a day. Nothing I have ever used has done this before.
I have read the other reviews and must say I don't find the lamp loud, except when it zaps an insect. Frankly, I don't mind this because it is the comforting sound of another bug gone! I wouldn't put it right next to my bed - it is a bit loud when it zaps and the lamp is bright, but you can put it right outside a bedroom door and it does a beautiful job. I can't recommend it enough for indoor use. I have not used it outside (I don't want to zap beneficial insects), so I can't comment about this.
 No help with mosquitoes! July 8, 2006

Unlike the previous reviewer, we have not found the Flowtron to be helpful with our mosquito problem at all. Seems like it keeps some other kinds of bugs -- moths, flies, gnats -- at bay, but we are still getting bitten terribly even after using the device for a couple of weeks (with the mosquito "bait"). We're going to try changing locations, etc., but so far it's a real disappointment.

I bought this item because we were infiltrated with a large number of mosquitos and needed to do something, since the city wasn't. It worked, but it became clogged up with more moths than mosquitos. We feel it has helped along with several other things we did to keep them out of the house and yard.
Cleaning is difficult, because there's no way to easily dissassemble it enough to clean the elements.
Works very well, but still needs cleaning. December 20, 2007

This unit WORKS!!! We actually used this for several months before reviewing; it eliminated swarms of gnats, masses of mosquitoes, and lots of other pests. We live near rice fields and multiple streams with lots of mosquitoes. We went several weeks without a bug zapper and it only took one night using this unit to see a real difference. In prior years we had used another brand with a grid that clogged frequently and required disassembly to clean. The Flowtron still needs some cleaning, swarming gnats will clog it, but canned air or using a compressor does the job. We have yet to see a single "beneficial" insect in the piles on the ground, but it also doesn't attract the yellow jackets. The cord is very short, you will need an outdoor extension cord, and I recommend an "on at dusk, off when you want" controller.

I bought this with high hopes. Right out of the box this thing was super loud but I thought maybe it would settle in. Well it did. The noise dropped off after about 3 days. But I should have returned it right away. The thing died completely just outside the return window. Total junk!
