Are Bug Zappers Really Effective Against Mosquitoes? To investigate the effectiveness of bug zappers on mosquitoes, the Department of Entomology and Applied Ecology at the University of Delaware spent 10 weeks analyzing bug zappers. Altogether, over 13,000 insects had been zapped and collected. Based on the examine's outcomes, bug zappers are killing useful insects like beetles and moths, which can lead to adverse effects on native ecosystems. Experts and research from Colorado State University Extension and the American Mosquito Control Association concluded that bug zappers aren't effective at controlling biting mosquitoes. Experts cited in an article from the Wirecutter also concluded that bug zappers have the unintended consequence of killing useful insects. Why Aren't Mosquitoes Drawn to Bug Zappers? Female mosquitoes (the mosquitoes who chunk us) are hardwired to sense the attractive indicators that our bodies emit. They do not care about indoor-outdoor zapper lights. After we exhale, we emit CO2, which a female mosquito can detect from far away. As she flies closer, our naturally occuring body-odor-chemistry helps her affirm that we're a supply of blood. Seems, carbon dioxide and body odor chemistry are parts we can't management. But luckily, there are a handful of voluntary actions that we are able to do to lower mosquito presence. Mosquitoes need 7 days of stagnant water to develop. Tip and Toss standing water or containers that capture mosquito-breeding water round your own home! They conceal in shady, dense plants. Does sunlight and wind stream by your yard's vegetation? If not, then you might want to consider trimming back on the unwelcomed mosquito lodge in your backyard.
