An old-school bug zapper, with a newer design to minimize fouling the zappy bits.

Don't know about a half acre, but it turned a two-car garage that was overrun with big & small mosquitoes, june bugs, and other flying insects into a Zone of Insectoid Death.  In 24 hours.  This spring came late and wet and we had more of the stinking skeeters than I have ever seen around here.  They would get in the house just from quick entry/exit.  Annoying as all get out.

Thinking about putting it on a timer since it is over the hump.

1/2 acre is probably 'you'll notice fewer insects in this area'.  I wonder how the 1.5 acre unit is supposed to work at clearing that much area?

I've seen the propane powered anti-skeeter units up here, so you think think the electric does a good job?  I might have to see about picking one up myself.

When I lived in Oklahoma sitting on the porch and trying to figure out how big the bug was from the length of zap was a springtime/summer ritual. After all, once it was dark you couldn't see the grass grow.

Reading the reviews, the zapper beats the propane units.  Especially if you bait it with the octy-whatever once a month.
