Mosquito killer lamps generally attract mosquitoes through ultraviolet light waves and bionic mosquito attractants. Understanding the mosquito trapping principle of mosquito killer lamps is actually to understand how mosquitoes lock blood-sucking targets.
Studies have shown that mosquitoes use carbon dioxide concentrations to find targets in the dark. There are a large number of sensory hairs distributed on the tentacles and feet of mosquitoes. With these sensors, mosquitoes can sense the carbon dioxide emitted by the human body in the air, respond within 1% of a second, and fly over quickly. This is why mosquitoes always buzz around your head when you sleep.
At close range, mosquitoes select targets by sensing temperature, humidity, and the chemical composition contained in sweat. First bite people with high body temperature and sweating. Because the smell secreted by people with high body temperature and sweating contains more amino acids, lactic acid and ammonia compounds, it is very easy to attract mosquitoes.
The bionic mosquito attractant commonly used in bug zappers is to imitate the smell of human body to attract mosquitoes. But many people have a misconception that mosquito attractants are more attractive than people. However, the current technology has not been able to develop a mosquito attractant that is completely close to human breath. Therefore, the best time to use the bug zapper is when people are not indoors!
In addition to mosquito attractants, light waves are also very effective in attracting mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes have certain phototaxis, and mosquitoes especially like ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 360-420nm. Different bands of ultraviolet light have different attracting effects on different types of mosquitoes. But compared to other wavelengths of light, ultraviolet light is very attractive to mosquitoes. Interestingly, mosquitoes are very afraid of orange-red light, so you can install an orange-red night light on the bed at home, which can also play a certain role in repelling mosquitoes.
Now many mosquito traps have used both mosquito trapping methods, and the effect will be much better than a single mosquito trapping method.
2 Double means of killing, don’t even try to escape
There are many mosquito killing methods commonly used in mosquito killer lamps, including sticky trapping, electric shock, and inhalation. However, the sticky catch type is generally not easy to cooperate with the other two types, and the most commonly used is the combination of the electric shock type and the suction type.
Electric mosquito killing is to use the electrostatic net of the bug zapper, as long as the mosquito touches it, it will kill the mosquito with one blow. Like Nuoyin’s small birdcage, the SUS nickel-plated stainless grid is used. Compared with the traditional ordinary iron grid, it is not easy to rust and is more durable. When killing mosquitoes, one touch will kill them, and the contact rate is 100%. The killing effect of iron nets commonly used in the market is similar.
Inhalation mosquito killing is to suck the mosquitoes attracted around the mosquito trap into the air drying box through wind suction, and those mosquitoes that have escaped the electric shock will also be killed because of the strong suction. During the inhalation process, it will usually be strangled by the fan blades. Even if it escapes by chance, it will be trapped in the air-drying box and wait to die.
After the mosquitoes in the room are killed, there will naturally be no mosquitoes.
You can choose a double mosquito trap + double mosquito killer lamp to use.
