Pros and Cons of Bug zapper
Bug Zapper:
An electric bug zapper trap, also known as an electrical discharge insect control system,
is a tool that attracts and kills flying insects that are drawn to light. Insects are drawn to
an electrical grid by a light source, where they touch two wires with a high voltage
between them and are electrocuted. The term is derived from the distinctive
onomatopoeic zap sound made when an insect is shocked with electricity. In order to
prevent people or larger animals from coming into contact with the high voltage grid, bug
zappers are typically enclosed in a protective cage made of plastic or grounded metal
bars. Inside is a light source, typically a fluorescent lamp that emits both visible and
ultraviolet light. This light is visible to insects and attracts different kinds of them. This is
not high enough to spark across the air gap, but it is powerful enough yet to flow through
the insect's body, which connects the two grids. Bug zappers work by trying to lure
insects with ultraviolet light, most frequently produced by a fluorescent bulb. The insects
are electrified and vaporised as they enter the zapper.
Benefits of Bug Zapper:
With the help of bug zappers, you may get rid of insects with little chemicals and less
effort. No health risks exist, and there isn't always a risk of damaging a nest or coming
across an insect you're afraid of. Bug zappers are out of the way and involve very little
of the user. The fact that the bug zapper instantly kills dozens of insects and significantly
lowers the insect population is undoubtedly its most visible advantage.
Kill insects to prevent them from developing.
Bugs are attracted into the zapper by UV light.
It is able to cover a lot of space, up to 1 1/2 acres.
Feasibly use fluorescent lighting to entice mosquitoes.
Simple to Use and Clean You can easily clean the dead mosquitoes with a light bulb.
Safe and environmentally sustainable.
The physical method used by electronic insect killers to kill mosquitoes ensures that
they are chemical and toxin-free.
Drawbacks of Bug Zapper:
Bug zappers are unfortunately a little bit too good to be true. Even if they
successfully eradicate hundreds of pests, they mostly draw the bugs that are good for
your home, garden, and grass. Bug zappers do not normally attract mosquitoes, and
some insects, like cockroaches, do not typically fly in their direction. Other insects
such as spiders, wasps, and others are either not attracted to light or do not fly at
night. Bug zappers are sometimes a little bit too good to be true. Even if they

you intend to kill. Some time they kill helpful bugs and some time they don’t kill
biting bugs.
