HOW THE STINGER ELECTRIC OUTDOOR INSECT ZAPPER WORKS
The Stinger Electric Outdoor Insect Zapper is designed to attract and kill a wide range of flying
insects. The ultraviolet (UV) light given off by this unit is within the luminescent range proven
effective to lure these insects. Insects are attracted to the light and killed as they contact the
electrically charged grid area. Insects fall through the open base onto the ground. The outer
protective cage helps prevent pets, birds, butterflies, and children’s fingers from contacting
the charged grids. This unit is for outdoor use only and can withstand moderate rain. For best
results, the unit should be installed in early spring and left on continuously through late fall.

BK510
Figure 1
The Stinger 5-in-1 Insect & Mosquito Zapper (BK510) is uniquely designed to attract
and kill a wide range of flying insects, including mosquitoes. Breakthrough technology
uses light cycling, heat and scent for optimum results. The BK510 model kills 2X more
mosquitoes than other Stinger Insect Zappers. How it works is the black ultraviolet (UV)
light attracts light sensitive flying insects from a distance and lures them to the device.
While the bright light attracts insects from a distance it repels mosquitoes at close range.
When the device is in Mosquito Mode, the black UV light cycles off, changing the light
patterns at predetermined and proven effective intervals to specifically attract biting
mosquitoes in close proximity. The green LED lights remain on continuing to provide
light attraction for mosquitoes. The thermal lure and the NOsquito
®
octenol lure provide
additional attraction for flying insects by simulating human breath and body heat.
Finally, the single kill grid is designed to more effectively kill small nuisance insects and
reduce clogging.

CHOOSING A LOCATION
(Figure 1)
When selecting a location, please remember that
insects will be lured to the unit. Place
the unit about 25 feet away from the
area intended for human activity.
Position the insect zapper between
the source of insects (woods,
water supply, lowlands, etc.) and
the area to be protected. BK110 and
BK510 models will effectively cover
a 1 acre area. BK310 model effectively
covers 1½ acres.
1. Unpack unit, save all packaging material for off-season storage. DO NOT REST THE UNIT
ON SURFACE WITHOUT CONTINUING TO SUPPORT IT. It will not stand on its own and
was intentionally designed for use in a hanging position.
2. Select the proper location to hang the unit using the guidelines above. For BK310 and
BK510 models, use the bonus hanging cord included in the box to hang the unit.
3. Hang the unit approximately 7 feet above the ground from a tree, mounting pole or other
free standing object.
NEVER mount or hang the unit from a house or other building.
4. Plug the cord into a compatible extension cord rated for outdoor use.
5. The unit will be ON once it is connected to an electrical source. There is no separate
ON/OFF switch. Please allow up to 5 minutes for the bulb to light completely.
