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 Model SBK15. This
manual will provide you with directions for the safe and efficient operation of your
STINGER so please 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.
The STINGER outer protective screen (cage) has been designed to prevent fingers
or foreign objects from contacting the charged killing grid.
Correct
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
15 Watt UV Black Light Lamp:

months. Refer to page 3 of this manual.

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

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.
WARNING:
The user must not attempt to service the STINGER. All servicing must be carried out
by a qualified electrician or returned to the Service Department at The Kelly
Company Pty Ltd at the address shown on the front cover of this Manual.
The return freight / postage of STINGER being returned to The Kelly Company during
or outside of the warranty period is to be paid by the purchaser. Ensure that the
STINGER is well packed to avoid transport damage as such damage is not covered
under the terms of the Warranty. Also please include written details of the product
failure to minimise time and cost of repair.
UV Backlight Lamp:
Replacement must be carried out by a qualified electrician or returned to the
Service Department at The Kelly Company Pty Ltd at the address shown on the front
cover of this Manual.
Replace the Black Light UV Lamp annually to ensure maximum output in the invisible
ultraviolet frequency range (see page 3 of this Manual). Replacement lamps are
available through your nearest stockist of STINGER
Routine Maintenance:
1. Ensure that the STINGER is disconnected from its power source before
performing any type of maintenance
2. Clean the killing grid annually or as required. In areas of heavy infestations of
flying insects grid cleaning may be required more frequently. Use an air blower
or brush to dislodge insects trapped on the killing grid. Do not remove the cage
of the STINGER to clean killing grid.
