When an electric current is passed through the bulb, two things happen; the gas gets charged and starts to glow, which in turn excites the phosphor, causing it to emit UV light. The PALONE Bug Zapper has a bright UV light to attract mosquitoes and other bugs plus a powerful 4300V zap to kill them when they’re enticed in. But if you isolate a single problematic mosquito, fly, or other bug in a room, shut the door, and wait, there is a chance the bug will by happenstance enter the light at some point.

This suggests that the best trap design for maximum efficacy is one with an open front allowing for maximum radiation of UV light ( Pickens and Thimijan 1986, Hogsette 2008).
Time passes more slowly for these creatures, which is why no matter how you swat them, they can easily evade your attack. The purpose of an electric fly killer is to lure the flies that are already in the room into the unit, not to entice additional insects to come in that may not have otherwise found their way inside. The front and back of the unit are protected by an open metal grid with bars that are quite close together.While the zapping power of 2100V is half of that found in lantern-style fly killers, it holds its own against similar bar models. Each time there was a frenzy of fly activity caused by the illumination of the trap, followed soon thereafter by a state of acclimation and inactivity. A sticky pad in the bottom of the unit traps the flies when they’re drawn in, and they expire naturally.
In reality, they both serve different purposes, but the difference is I now use this racket-style model just like I did the mains-powered Sahara electric bug fly zapper. So one of the features I really like (that most other models don’t have) is the ability to rotate the racket head so you can easily trap flies against walls and windows. For instance, the Vectothor Flying Insect Killer Light Traps operate at 10,000 cycles per second (way beyond that of human or insect capabilities). Vosshall has been studying insects for 30 years, with a focus on mosquitoes and repellency for the past 15 years. It’s easy to remove the tray to dispose of the dead flies and to clean the tray before replacing it.
After all, the eyes of the flies are particularly sensitive to that wavelength (especially 300 to 420 nm).
Because of management techniques, manure was usually wet (>80% moisture) and there was essentially a house fly monoculture in the house. If zapping flies and other flying bugs is not your style, head over to our How do you stop flies coming into the house and conservatory?LEDs are also better suited for critical applications in terms of meeting industry regulations and safety requirements. When the light trap was turned off and then turned on again after about 5 min, the process was repeated. UV-A or ultraviolet rays have emerged over the years as a major tool in integrated pest management for the elimination of house flies. As they work using UV light, you need to ensure that the light isn’t blocked by furniture or clutter around your home.
