Review on 🦟 Flowtron BK-40D: Powerful Electronic Insect Killer for 1 Acre Coverage – Black by Anna Wash

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I have 4 of these and they are great. The cable is two-pin, unlike the 1.5 acre model which is 3

. I have 4 of these and they work great (one died in 2019, see edit below). Two of them are this size and the other two are the larger 1.5 acres. All four devices work perfectly and have saved me thousands upon thousands of errors. Small piles of dead bugs formed at the end, which made me smile. I ended up cutting out part of the plastic protection to make it easier for the bugs to access. I want them all to die as soon as possible! MUWAHAHAHA This is a great addition that won't affect your device in any way other than it's good, so go for it. It's best for me to cut 3 or 4 plastic shades on each side - each at a different height so the light breaks outward more randomly and is better at attracting insects. One thing to note - the only difference I could find between this unit and the largest 1.5 acre unit (apart from a slight difference in size of course) is that the BK-40D is not a 3 pin Power cord is 1.5 acre model but uses traditional 2 prong power cord instead. If you intend to use the BK-40D outdoors, be careful when choosing an extension cord as using a 3-prong extension cord leaves a hole open to the elements, which can cause rain problems. So don't forget to walk it if you do! One last note, the difference you will see after using these devices is amazing! My area is full of mosquitoes and I haven't been bitten all year round. Mistakes can be enough and I don't understand how I lived without them before. I hang them on different trees every other day. This error action is mild compared to when it's really pitch black outside (especially when there's no moon). I have a huge herd of toads that I befriend by living outside and eating all the dead bugs. My machines kill hundreds of bugs a minute all night and I've had them for 2 or 3 years now and half use them. 10 hours per day and year. One of my smaller flow meters broke late last year, but they're very affordable so I'm not too upset. I will change and add over time.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
