Product Information

Time passes more slowly for these creatures, which is why no matter how you swat them, they can easily evade your attack. UV fluorescent lamps are tubes filled with inert gas, mercury vapour, phosphor powder and electrodes at both ends. We’ve evolved to find these smells disgusting – it’s the body’s way of telling us not to eat rotting food.

If you use a bug zapper indoors only—a popular counterpoint we’ve heard from anecdotal sources and commenters—you are still stuck with the bug guts, but you do avoid the mass slaughter issues. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network.

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. Treatment 2: Both traps were turned on, illuminated for 1 h then both traps were turned off for 1 h. Compare this to the mains-powered models, I won’t let them go anywhere near them because they can be incredibly dangerous. Science hasn’t given us an exact explanation as to why flies love UV light so much, although there are plenty of theories. He continued, “We thought there may be a few bacteria that got spread, but we’re finding really significant amounts on the surface of the fly will survive.

I think over the course of a few weeks it killed a couple of blue bottles, obviously by luck because they probably just flew into it. The bars around all sides of the unit let flies, mosquitoes and other flying bugs in from all sides as they’re drawn to the blue UV light. The obvious way to do this is to keep your doors and windows closed, but this isn’t always practical in the summer months when you’ll want a bit of sunlight and a cooling breeze around the house. It looks more natural and hence the fly light trap becomes more effective in attracting flying insects around. Therefore, each trap pair in this study should have appeared as a single unit to the flies, and the distance between the trap pairs (35 m) ensured that each treatment attracted flies independently.In fact, they’re so common that it’s impossible to completely get rid of these disease-ridden pests for good, so you’ll always need to make sure you have some form of protection against them. The type of lights and spectrum matter as well when comes to pests’ attraction; for example, attraction level of UV blue light is higher. If you have problems with fruit flies, neither of these will be very effective, and this Super Ninja Fruit Fly Trap is what you need. The ASPECTEK 20W Fly and Insect Killer is another UV light model but with two 10W UV bulbs for a total of 20W.
