Electric Bug Zapper from Flowtron. This supercharged insect-eliminating system puts a powerful dual-action spin on the typical bug zapping lantern with its 2-in-1 UV light and octenol attractant, anti-clogging grid, and high voltage transformer that outperforms virtually every competitor on today’s market. Instead of inviting flies inside to collect, crackle, and burn, the powerful 5,600-volt shocker kills them upon contact, sending remains to the ground to be absorbed by the earth. Three 40-watt ultraviolet bulbs easily attract biting nuisances from near and far, and with the octenol attractant cartridge, mosquitoes come flying from up to two acres away. This is because our design positions the octenol cartridge close to the UV lamp, allowing the liquid to heat up, vaporize, and-in combination with CO2-mimic the breath, body odor, and musk of cattle, deer, sheep, moose, goats, oxen, yak, and other ruminants, which mosquitoes favor. Despite the unit’s shocking efficiency, it still blends seamlessly with your outdoor decor, requires minimal maintenance, and has been rigorously tested and UL certified to withstand the elements for many years of reliable and affordable pest control. For best results, hang approximately 25 feet from your outdoor living space and away from other light sources. Once ideally positioned, plug in and prepare for a better backyard experience

What You Get
Family-owned since its start in 1920, Armatron International began operations as an automobile radio manufacturer. After over 80 years of innovation, it is known today through its Flowtron division as a worldwide leader in outdoor products. From the 1920s through the 1960s, the company advanced its manufacturing and design capabilities to include tape players and stereo systems for automobiles and for home use. Responding to increasingly fierce competition from the Far East, the company began diversifying into other product lines. In 1974, the Flowtron Outdoor Products Division was formed to design, develop and manufacture electric heaters and electronic insect killing devices for residential and commercial use. In 1980, the company changed its corporate name from Automatic Radio Manufacturing Company to Armatron International, Inc. to better reflect its expanded line of consumer products. Today, through its Flowtron Outdoor Products Division, the company designs, develops, manufactures and sells a select line of lawn and garden products. Its products are distributed to major retailers in the USA and Canada and to foreign markets throughout the world. All products are proudly manufactured in the USA in facilities in Malden, MA, and Ft. Wayne, IN.
