Product Description
Advanced Insect Control / 40 watt unit / No'Squito Octenol Lure included / Outdoor Use / Maintains superior efficiency Weight - 6 pounds
Amazon.com Review
Insects can ruin a picnic or deck party in no time, so this electronic bug zapper helps keep the flying variety away at least. Protecting a full acre, the Stinger uses two methods to lure flying pests: a blue ultraviolet light from a 40-watt fluorescent bulb, and a chunk of "NOsquito" mosquito attractant that attaches directly to the underside of the 18-by-9-inch cylinder. As insects enter the cylinder's grid and hit the light, they are killed and fall to the ground through the open bottom. The grid prevents children's hands, birds, and butterflies from touching the bulb. For best results, the Stinger should be hung at least seven feet off the ground and about 25 feet away from where people will be gathering. A strong metal loop on top allows hanging from a branch or bracket, and the 10-inch integral power plug can be plugged into an outdoor extension cord. The UV bulb should be changed yearly for best results. Waterproof and rugged, the Stinger is covered by a three-year warranty and is also available in a smaller size. --Ann Bieri

 Short Lifespan September 24, 2008
It worked for 3 months, now the grid is dead. No voltage between the grids. the grid is clean (have to blow it out regularly- canned air works). The bulb that came with it burned out in about 30 days. Not recommended.
A Stinger that doesn't sting July 20, 2008
I bought the Stinger several years ago. It zapped bugs straight away for a while, then the light burned out, the the wire grid shorted out. More hassel then it is really worth. If we weren't replacing parts we were blowing it out to keep it going. Save your money. I am going to try the Flowtron, it is contructed as to not clog up. My neighbor has two and they have been flawless for 3 years, every day she has 100s of dead bugs, never has had a problem with hers as of yet.

I have bought 3 over a 2 year period. The all failed due to defective starters. They do not self clean like the flowtrons and are always clogging.
Very Poor Quality on Two Separate Stinger Zappers October 6, 2007
I have purchased two round Stinger electric insect killers in the past two months, and each suffered from different problems. The first Stinger worked for about two weeks until the bulb appeared to be burned-out. I replaced the bulb, but it apparently was not the bulb that was the problem as the new bulb didn't light.
I purchased a second Stinger and after I unboxed it, I noticed that the outer wire mesh screen was dislodged and resting against the inner screen. I removed the cover on the bottom of the unit in an attempt to reposition the wire mesh screen and found that the plastic clips that are supposed to keep the screens separate are poorly designed and cannot hold the wire mesh screens as intended. As I began to replace the cover on the bottom of the unit, and without any sudden motion on my part, the light bulb fell out and broke on the concrete surface of my garage floor.
Based on my experience, Stinger's products are garbage. Look for another brand if you are in the market for one of these devices.
Piece of JUNK! September 29, 2007

Do NOT buy this item! I have never felt the need to write a bad review on a product... The first one I got-the electric grid stopped working after a couple days. I took it back and exchanged for a second and the bulb burned out after about a month, replaced the bulb (half as must as a whole new unit) and then the electric grid on this one went out soon after. I never left it out in a strom. This product is junk!
