What happens after the mosquitoes are trapped and you turn off the fan? Do the mosquitoes fly back or how do you kill them?

You leave the fan on, and they will be dead and dry in a few hours. The majority of mosquitoes will be caught when the fan is on all night. A 20" fan uses less than 50 cents of power per day. I wouldn't turn it off until I no longer see live bugs in the net in the morning, meaning you wiped them out for a while.

you need to press the red button for the fly zapper to activate when you are trying to kill the mosquitoes. It will send an electric pulse. sparks fly when they contact mosquito. Its an electric shock. Be careful not to touch the grid part of bat when red button is pressed.

Yep. It doesn't take a lot to pull the mosquitos in. It's more to 'guide' them into it. Further into the machine the chambers narrow and the mosquitos can't fly against the incoming wind. Love seeing those little buggers stuck in the trap trying to fly out and not getting anywhere.

At the least, it will stun them and sizzle their wings off, so you and dispose of them after. PS - little fruit flies don't escape through the grid, so not sure how a larger insect would.

You can kill most any bug even crawling ones if you can coax it to somehow make contact. Just covering the bug with the racket and jiggling it will make the bug hop then ZAP! Mosquitos get vaporized.

Absolutely! The smaller the insect, the more likely it is to get trapped. They kind of just get sucked in my the fan. Larger insects are attracted to the light. I plugged mine in for the first time this year, and I had to empty it within the first 48 hours, which is really fast. It was completely full - Bugs on the inside and beatles in the water along the outside. BEST TRAP I'VE EVER HAD!

It will not kill the actual mosquito. I will kill it's eggs/lavae in the water. Use it in any standing water outside (buckets, rain collection barrel, etc) . This kills the eggs immediately (a day or two), then use "Mosquito dunks" for water that will be staying in those buckets/dishes/barrels outside. It will last for 30 days..killing eggs.

The Flowtron is a lure. We use it to lure mosquitoes to a zapper, because if you don't kill the mosquitoes they continue to breed and produce even more mosquitoes. To my way of thinking, killing the mosquitoes cuts down future generations so it isn't entirely pointless. By cutting down the population you not only protect yourself, but also wildlife that has no way to defend themselves outside of swishing tails.

The controller acts as an adjustable power supply unit. To turn off a fan you just dial back on the voltage for that particular fan until it shuts down (like 0.0 but most fans usually require more than 5V to operate at all so anything below will most likely shut them down).

This is designed yo attract mosquito's outdoors. Refer to the placement mguide included with it, you should place in a shaded area close to where they breed and between breeding and human activity.If you have mosquito's in your house I would contact a pest control company

Hi Dolores, fortunately, we don't have much of a mosquito problem, so I can't answer your question definitively, however, I would think the breeze and cooler air would help keep them away.

we leave ours out all summer and into the fall. We put it up for the winter when mosquitoes are gone.

Not 100% sure, but I do not see a way to turn off the air. I think they simply route the air produced by the motor down to the work area.

After you flip the little black switch 'on' you are ready to engage an insect. You do so by pressing and holding the red botton until you've killed the insect.

I have found that if you spray up high like on a fence etc, then it will cut down on mosquitoes. Those little buggers are a nuisance. I have also purchased a "citronella plant" and that also seems to help. Hope this helps!

My advice would be to take off the top and let it dry out for a little bit. Too much moisture breeds mosquitos.

they pretty much kill anything that flies or is bug like. This is why you want to NOT BE IN THE ZONE, when burning them. AND AIR out the area before you go into it for long. They are great...... but use caution for your pets and yourself, PETS COULD BE SERIOUSLY EFFECTED......
