The Flowtron BK-15D is a well-regarded tool for residential insect control, specifically designed for areas up to a half-acre. It uses a 5600V galvanized steel grid that provides a high-voltage potential for managing phototactic insects. The housing is made of high-impact polycarbonate, which offers better resistance to UV-induced brittleness than standard plastics, making it a sturdy choice for long-term outdoor use.
The unit features a 15W UV-A bulb and is designed to work with Octenol attractants to help manage mosquito populations more effectively. The vertically-aligned transformer is engineered to minimize heat buildup, which helps extend the life of the internal components. It is UL-certified, meaning the non-conductive outer housing has been verified to help prevent accidental contact with the internal grid.
- The tool-free bulb replacement design makes maintenance easier for busy homeowners.
- The high-voltage grid helps keep itself clean by vaporizing pests on contact.
- Designed for weather resistance, it can remain outdoors without additional shielding.
Because the unit uses a 2-foot cord, it is often best paired with a high-quality, outdoor-rated extension cord or a Smart Outdoor Plug to set up automated schedules.
