Tools and Hardware Reviews of Stinger UVB45 40 Watt 1-Acre Ultra Bug Zapper
Customer Review: Worked well at first but doesn't last !
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product after a friend's recommendation last spring. I placed it on a far corner of our deck and it did work well at killing insects. However, the grid quickly becomes clogged with dead insects and killing power is reduced drastically until you clean it with compressed air. Then, this spring I went to put it out again and the unit won't operate. I bought a new UV bulb thinking that was the issue, but it still doesn't work. Called customer support and they tell me it's likely a bad starter. Now I have to deal with returning and waiting weeks for my unit back. Get a Flowtron instead - my neighbor has had one for years!!Customer Review: Works as designed
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Stinger UVB45 at Costco in Plano Texas recently. After reading the less than glowing reports for the UV15/UV40 model, I wasn't expecting a great outcome. Before permanently mount the unit, I placed it on the patio table at sundown and powered it up with an extension cord. After about 2 hours, there were at least a 100 to 150 small young mosquitos and a few other larger insects under the unit. I'll have to say the unit works very well in my informal testing, and it is a keeper. I live in a Dallas suburb with many pockets of stagnant water in the community, so this unit will be appeciated in the months to come.Customer Review: Don't get BITTEN by Stinger!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned two of these units, both of which quit working in less than a year. While it works, it does a fine job of killing bugs, but it must be cleaned very frequently or the grids will short circuit with dead bugs. Not to worry though, you won't have to deal with cleaning it after it stops working! It's a shame that KAZ (Stinger brand) makes and markets such a piece of crap. I will do MY part to help put them out of business. The name KAZ and STINGER are burned into my brain and I'll be sure to never purchase any of their products again. Please, do the same and use your money more wisely than I did.Customer Review: Terrible product
Summary: 1 Stars
If I could give zero stars I would. We bought this model, plugged it in, set it to 24/7 mode, and waited. And waited. The bulb never came on so we exchanged it, thinking it was defective. Got second one home and same thing. Only by accident did we discover that the switch wasn't covering the sensor enough to turn on the bulb. It only worked when duct tape was put over it. And by "worked" I mean the bulb came on. We chose not to use the chemical lure provided and I don't think a single bug went near it. We'll be taking this back for a refund and likely ordering a Flowtron.Customer Review: This seems to be a great product
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this to put in our attic to kill stink bugs. It seems that they are coming a lot more these days.
It seems to work so far. we are happy with this product.
I had read a lot of mixed review so we were not too sure of what to expect but so far we really killed a lot of them. Let's hope it continues!
If it does not I will update this review. But at this time I am recommending this product.
The package arrived damaged so this is why it did not get 5 stars.
thanks
