Do Bug Zappers Work?

Do Bug Zappers Work? Q. I believed I read somewhere that bug zappers don’t actually work. My neighbor’s zapper is driving me crazy with that ZZZZT noise all night. I’d like to indicate him proof that every one he’s doing is annoying his neighbor. A. Yes, there is a few scientific data on the usefulness of bug zappers, but first we'd like to tell apart between the bug zappers that homeowners use of their yards to (hopefully) kill mosquitoes, and the commercial insect gentle traps that pest management professionals use principally in restaurants, meals plants, and warehouses. These expensive commercial traps are used primarily to kill home flies they usually do work. The relatively cheap backyard bug zappers kill loads of flying insects, just not mosquitoes. Bug zappers use ultraviolet mild to draw mosquitoes to a steel grid the place they are electrocuted or "zapped." People that personal these traps swear by them. They level to the piles of useless insects that they empty out of the trap each morning. And people insects do appear to be mosquitoes. But mostly they're midges, harmless fliers that don't chew and are considered helpful. Bug zappers actually entice and kill very few mosquitoes. Instead, the ultraviolet light draws hordes of insects into the yard that wouldn’t have been there in any other case. Yard zappers have by no means fared very effectively in analysis checks. One research discovered that 89% of the zapped insects were midges
