From the manufacturer

FC8800 Diplomat Fly Control Device - 120W In/Outdoor

Flowtron electronic fly control devices combine ultraviolet black light energy with exclusive reflector panels and a special fly attracting pheromone (sex lure) to provide powerful fly control units that are ecologically safe, effective and economical to operate. Flies and other light-sensitive flying insect pests are attracted by the ultraviolet light and special lure and are eliminated as they fly through the electro statically charged grid. Dead insects drop out of sight into a sanitary, removable collection chamber.

The FC-8800 is designed for either indoor or outdoor use and is ideally suited for installation in restaurants, food processing plants, retail food stores, meat-packing plants, barns, stables or wherever flies are a threat to health and sanitation codes and where the use of toxic chemicals is dangerous, undesirable or banned.

Features:

  • Glo-tube reflectors intensify blacklight radiation for enhanced luring power
  • Patented, high efficiency, vertical grid eliminates grid clogging
  • Controlled grid power provides sure, clean kills with no airborne contamination
  • Sex lure increases effectiveness in attracting and eliminate house and garbage flies
  • No glue boards required

Absolutely amazing!!! But beware of affecting the balance of your property’s ecosystem
Update May 2018-I added a metal screen from a home improvement atore tightly secured around the outside the device to prevent moths and bigger insects from dying and it seems to help about 95% of the time, a few moths and flying ants still get through. I was killing so many random insects that I wanted to make sure I found a way not to do so, I want this to kill mosquitoes and flies, I don’t want to exterminate all bugs in my yard and this really attracts so many bugs that it became too much, the cleanup was also ridiculous with so many bugs. For instance, I want to keep larger insects that don’t bother me so that bats can eat them and then kill the mice and so forth. Also, one of the lightbulbs (it has three) stopped working during first summer, trying to find replacement at this time.—-Original review 2018—Absolutely amazing!!! I thought about it for days and did a ton of online research and product comparisons, I’m so glad I bought this! I leave it on all the time, and use a mosquito and fly attractant that I attach to it. It’s like a bug apocalypse in my backyard, not kidding!!! I’ve seen all kinds of flying bugs including flies, mosquitoes, moths, ladybugs, etc. A couple of nights I thought it was malfunctioning because it sounded like constant zapping like a lightning storm and when I got closer it was because there were so many mosquitoes around it they all wanted to get close to it and they were dying dozens and dozens at the same time! I cleaned it after a week and the tray was half full, the protective cage was very full, but I was amazed that only within 24 hours the protective cage was ready to be cleaned again today! There was still lots of room at the bottom tray. We had a really hot and humid day so I don’t know if that affected the insects but anyway I’m including a video of the grid saturation wih bugs, you will have to clean this often depending on the bug population in your area. I have 6 acres, a pond and running streams in a wooded area, all my neighbors have similar yards, just to give you an idea of my setting and the volume of mosquitoes/ bugs and maintenance needed if you get this device. Highly recommended!! I’ve only had it for a couple weekes but I am hoping that at the killing rate it seems to have it will help me significantly decrease the mosquitoe and fly population in my area.
