Bug Zapper Bulbs
Ultraviolet or "black light" is invisible to the eye and its ability to attract insects will diminish over time. Therefore, even though the bulb appears to be functioning it should be replaced every season to maintain optimal effectiveness.
 View our Replacement Bulb page to get the correct replacement bulb for your bug zapper. If you do not see your make/model listed on that page, then sorry, we are unable to advise a bulb for your
unit.
Bulb Replacement (flowtron units):
1. Disconnect unit from electric source.
2. Depress latch and remove plastic bulb retainer at base of unit.
3. Bulb can now be pulled down out of the upper socket.
4. Insert replacement bulb into upper socket..
5. Replace plastic bulb retainer and secure latch.

Bug Zapper Cleaning
Flowtron bug zappers are equipped with patented self-cleaning grids and require no special maintenance other than cleaning insect debris from the bottom of the unit. This should be done frequently using a small soft brush or blower such as portable hair
dryer, or the exhaust attachment of a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning. Do not clean your insect killer with a water spray or the like.
Bug Zapper Spare Parts
Starters
The starter can be found as a little diode connected to the bulb socket via two copper leads. Installation is as
simple as removing the existing two leads with small needle nose pliers and inserting the new starter. FYI, starters have a burnt look when new.
Transformer and Ballast Assembly
This assembly consists of a square frame with the transformer and ballast already mounted in place. Simply remove the old assembly by removing the two screws that hold the frame down (flat head screwdriver), and disconnecting
the wires running to the bulb socket and killing grid. Screw in the new assembly and reconnect the wires. Note: The BK-80 has stand alone second ballast.
These spare parts are for Flowtron bug zappers. We do not know if they will work for other machines such as Stinger, Sunbeam, etc.

 Octenol
Octenol, a component of respiration,
is effective in attracting mosquitoes and
many other species of biting flies. Flowtron bug zappers utilize an exclusive slow-release octenol mosquito cartridge, which increases the effectiveness of the bug zapper 5 times!
Mounting Brackets & Poles
Attractive bracket or pole provide a secure way of hanging your bug zapper. Bug zappers should be mounted at a height of around six to eight feet above the
ground and 25 to 50 feet away from the area intended for human activity. Position the insect killer between the source of insects (woods, lowlands, etc.) and the area to be protected.
