A bug zapper typically refers to an electric device that attracts and eliminates insects. These devices use ultraviolet light to lure insects, which are then killed by an electric shock. The device mainly consists of a UV light source to attract insects and an electrified grid that delivers the fatal shock. Insects are drawn to the UV light due to their phototactic behavior, which describes their movement towards light sources.
Bug zappers are used to reduce the presence of insects in various environments, improving working and living conditions. Electric bug zappers offer the advantage of being chemical-free and effective over a wide area. They come in various forms, including stationary, hanging, and hand-held racket types. Their suitability for indoor or outdoor use varies based on their design, particularly in terms of water and weather resistance.
However, these devices are most effective against insects attracted to light and may be less effective against pests like cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes, which are not as drawn to UV light.
