Flowtron Indoor Bug Zapper 1000V — Black, 215 sq ft coverage, plug-in UV light

The Flowtron plug-in indoor bug zapper uses a 1000V shock grid and UV light to attract and eliminate flying insects across rooms up to 215 square feet.

If you want a compact, no-fuss device for keeping mosquitoes, flies, gnats and other flying pests out of living spaces, this black Flowtron unit delivers continuous indoor protection that starts the moment it’s plugged in. The slim design fits on countertops or shelves, while the enclosed grid keeps contact points away from people and pets. It’s intended for typical home and small-business rooms where artificial lighting can draw insects.

How does this unit remove insects indoors?

The zapper combines a UV-emitting bulb that lures flying pests with a high-voltage 1000V grid that neutralizes them on contact. Insects are drawn to the light, make contact with the grid, and are killed instantly, reducing the local adult insect population over time.

• UV light attracts mosquitoes, flies, gnats and other small flying insects.
• 1000V electric grid delivers an immediate kill on contact.
• Enclosed housing keeps the grid out of direct reach for safety.
• Continuous operation maintains steady control while plugged in.

Where should I place the zapper for best results?

Position the zapper in the room you want protected and away from competing light sources for maximum attraction. Flowtron recommends placing it between the insect entry point and the area you use most, roughly 25 feet from people when possible, so insects are pulled toward the unit rather than into occupied space.

• Place near likely insect entryways or breeding spots—windows, doors, or corners.
• Avoid direct competition with bright lamps or sunlight to keep the UV effective.
• Mount or set on a counter/shelf about chest height for home use.
• Keep approximately 25 feet from areas where people gather when feasible.

How easy is it to use and maintain?

Operation is plug-and-play: insert into a standard outlet and the UV bulb lights instantly. Maintenance is minimal—periodically wipe the outer housing and remove any insect debris from the collection area to preserve performance and appearance.

• No batteries or charging—continuous power from a standard wall outlet.
• Compact footprint makes relocation between rooms quick and hassle-free.
• Wipe-clean exterior and accessible collection points for routine upkeep.
• Replacement bulbs available to restore full attraction when needed.

Is this safe for indoor family spaces and pets?

The Flowtron indoor zapper is designed with an enclosed grid to limit accidental contact and is suitable for families when used according to instructions. It’s intended for indoor environments such as bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, offices, and restaurants; however, keep the unit out of reach of young children and curious pets.

• Enclosed grid reduces direct access to the high-voltage elements.
• Place on stable surfaces or mount where children and pets cannot touch it.
• Follow label guidance for room placement and safe operation.
• Suitable for continuous indoor use in family spaces when positioned properly.

Who is this for: The Flowtron Plug-in Indoor Bug Zapper is aimed at homeowners, renters, small café or office operators, and anyone seeking a straightforward, continuous indoor solution for flying insects across rooms up to 215 square feet. It’s a good fit if you want a compact, low-maintenance device that starts protecting as soon as it’s plugged in and blends into a variety of indoor settings in a black finish.
