MOSQUITOES
BITING MIDGES (SANDFLIES)
NON BITING FLIES
CODDLING MOTHS
Mosquitoes are blood sucking insects that are responsible for
the transmission of many diseases. Within Australia there are
more than 300 different species of mosquito. Several important
human diseases are transmitted by these insects including
Dengue fever Australian encephalitis Ross River virus disease
and Barmah Forest virus disease. Mosquitoes also cause
lifestyle problems through their persistent biting spoiling
recreational and social activities.
Biting midges or sandflies as they are called in Australia are
small robust insects with piercing and sucking mouthparts.
These small flies are renowned for their nuisance biting in
coastal areas around lagoons estuaries mangrove swamps and
tidal flats. The biting activity of adult is mainly limited to the
periods of dawn and dusk; they will remain inactive through
very windy weather Female midges may attack humans in
large numbers biting on any areas of exposed skin and often
on the face scalp and hands..
Non-biting flies are often associated with domestic dwellings
especially throughout the warmer months when they bred
prolifically invading homes. Non-biting Australian flies contain
many species that are responsible for contamination and
spoilage of foodstuffs annoyance mechanical transmission of
disease-causing pathogens and invasion of living tissues
(myiasis). Collectively known as "filth flies" they are distributed
throughout the families of Calliphoridae (blow flies)
Sarcophagidae (flesh flies) and Muscidae (house flies).
In Australia there are over 10 000 species of moths. Most of
the Caterpillars are the larvae of moths. The caterpillars feed
at night and chew plants off at ground level. During the day
the caterpillars hide under clods of dirt or litter on the soil.
Army Worm is a grass eating caterpillar that moves through
the lawn like a raiding army and can reduce grass leaves to
tattered shreds almost overnight. Cutworms are caterpillar
pests that cause damage to crops and are a major problem for
agricultural and horticultural industries of Australia

Owner’s Manual
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing the STINGER® Electronic Bug Killer with the new energy
saving black light lamp. This manual will provide you with directions for the safe
and efficient operation of your STINGER. Please read the manual carefully and
keep it in a safe place for future reference. Failure to operate the STINGER in
accordance with the instructions in this manual may cause damage to the unit.
Your new STINGER will provide you with years of safe trouble free service. The
outer protective screen (cage) has been designed to prevent fingers or foreign
objects from contacting the charged killing grid.
Correct Operation
I. Your STINGER Electronic Bug Killer is designed to attract and kill light
sensitive flying insects mosquitoes and moths.
II. During the flying insect season from spring to autumn your STINGER
should be operated from dusk to dawn.
III. Correctly installed and operated STINGER will interrupt the 10-14 day
breeding cycle of the flying insect pests and under normal conditions will
noticeably decrease the insect infestation level.
IV. Your STINGER is IPX4 waterproof rated and rain or moisture will not
affect its operation
Energy Saving UV Black Light Lamp
The Black Light Lamp is long wave UV and therefore safe. The output / intensity
of the lamp in the invisible ultraviolet frequency range reduces with use. For
maximum attraction of flying insects replace the lamp every 12 months.
2
Correct Positioning
To achieve maximum performance from your
STINGER please review and observe the following
recommendations:
I. Light sensitive flying insects are
attracted to the black light UV lamp and
when they come into contact with the
electrically charged grid surrounding the
lamp they are instantly killed.
II. For best performance the STINGER
should be installed 8 to 10 metres from
the area you wish to protect (your
outdoor living / entertaining space)
III. The STINGER should be hung 2.5
metres from the base of the unit above
ground level using the hanging ring
fitted to the top. Make sure the hanging
ring is securely attached to the hanging
device.
IV. If a power extension lead is used it
MUST be suitable for outdoor use. Keep
the extension lead dry and off the
ground; avoid heat oil and sharp edges.

Owner’s Manual
Daytime Pests (Including Flies)
Wasps hornets beetles and flies are odour or heat seeking flying pests and do not
respond primarily to black light UV light however increased numbers of these pests
can be lured to your STINGER by baiting.
Bait such as honey syrup can be applied to a piece of cloth and hung / attached to
the cage or underside of the unit likewise or a piece of uncooked meat can be hung
from the underside. It should be noted that not every flying insect will be lured in
this way however increased numbers of daytime pests will be attracted
Also repositioning of the STINGER may be necessary when attempting to attract
daytime pests. The unit should be relocated to an area of your yard where direct
sunlight and wind can be reduced. This will help increase the output of the black light
UV lamp and the effectiveness of the baits.

section below. All other servicing should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
