A bug zapper, more formally called an electrical discharge insect management system, electric insect killer or (insect) electrocutor trap, is a system that attracts and kills flying insects which are attracted by mild. A gentle source attracts insects to an electrical grid, the place they're electrocuted by touching two wires with a excessive voltage between them. The name comes from the characteristic onomatopoeic "zap" sound produced when an insect is electrocuted. How Does a Bug Zappify mosquito zapper Work? Inside Poundland's electric fly zapper bat. Do bug zappers really work? Bug zappers are normally housed in a protective cage of plastic or grounded metal bars to prevent individuals or larger animals from touching the high voltage grid. A mild supply is fitted inside, often a fluorescent lamp designed to emit each visible and ultraviolet gentle, which is visible to insects and attracts quite a lot of them. Newer models now use long-life LEDs to produce the sunshine. The sunshine supply is surrounded by a pair of interleaved naked wire grids or helices. |
