Do mosquito killer lamps work? Is it worth buying? Which mosquito killer is better?
Presumably the biggest problem for everyone every summer is not being able to catch mosquitoes. Summer is coming happily, but it is inevitable to fight with mosquitoes for 300 rounds. Now that the weather is getting hotter, mosquitoes are coming out. I personally don’t know why. Maybe it's the physique, so I invite mosquitoes to take care of me.
I have tried to use insecticides to kill mosquitoes before, as well as insect repellent liquid and mosquito coils, but the effect is not satisfactory, and the smell is too strong. After a period of time, I will have a headache, so I am fully prepared this year .
In the following article, I will explain the above-mentioned problems to you, and there are many problems that plague you in the daily purchase of mosquito killer lamps, so that you can avoid pitfalls in time when purchasing, and buy suitable and practical mosquito killer lamps.
1. Are mosquito killer lamps useful? Is it worth buying?
In recent years, mosquito killer lamps have gradually become a sharp weapon in summer mosquito killer products. At present, the more common mosquito killer lamps are mainly ultraviolet mosquito killer lamps, which use long-wave ultraviolet rays in the UV spectrum. The reason why mosquito killer lamps can kill mosquitoes is to use a special living habit of mosquitoes - phototaxis.
The work of the mosquito killer mainly revolves around attracting mosquitoes, catching mosquitoes, and eliminating mosquitoes. The latter two points are better achieved, but it is more difficult to lure mosquitoes efficiently. Light can be divided into visible light, far-infrared light, ultraviolet light, etc. The core principle of ultraviolet mosquito killer lamp is to have light of suitable wavelength. Although mosquitoes have certain phototaxis, different mosquitoes have different sensitivities to different wavelengths of light, so it is difficult to attract all types of mosquitoes with only the same wavelength of light, which makes the mosquito killing lamp's mosquito killing effect limited. In addition, because the ultraviolet mosquito killer must be in an environment without any light to attract mosquitoes, and usually there will be other light interference in the room, which will also affect the attracting effect of the mosquito killer.
Scientific research has shown that there are several groups of people who are particularly prone to attracting mosquitoes: first, people with a faster metabolism; second, people with a faster breathing rate; third, people who sweat a lot; fourth, obese people; Sixth, people who love to drink and eat meat; Seventh, people who wear dark clothes; Eighth, people who do not take a bath often. Therefore, in order to avoid mosquito bites in summer, it is more important to develop good living habits and pay attention to personal hygiene.
In addition to using ultraviolet mosquito killer lamps, we can also use other mosquito control methods, such as installing mosquito screens or mosquito nets, and using mosquito repellent products such as mosquito coils, mosquito killer sheets, and mosquito repellent water. In addition, it should be noted that when there are many mosquitoes, such as in the evening, you should stay less in places where there are many green plants, such as gazebos, green belts, pools, and lakes, where mosquitoes are easy to breed.
So if you are like me and want to feel the joy of summer but are troubled by mosquitoes at the same time, then mosquito killer lamps are still necessary, not to mention IQ tax.
2. Which type of mosquito killer is better?
There are four most common mosquito killer lamps on the market.
Type 1, Electric Mosquito Killer Lamp:
working principle:
The working principle of the electric mosquito killer lamp is to use the phototaxis of mosquitoes to attract mosquitoes and cause them to be electrocuted to death. The high-efficiency mosquito-attracting lamp tube is used to effectively attract mosquitoes and other harmful flying insects. It can be killed instantly by electrostatic shock Flying insects; the circuit design of the electronic mosquito killer lamp is current-limiting, low power consumption, high efficiency, and can be used as long as the power is connected. No chemical substances evaporate.
Type 2, suction mosquito killer lamp:
working principle:
Suction-type mosquito killers generally refer to photocatalyst mosquito killers. The principle is based on the living habits of mosquitoes, using physical and chemical methods to attract and kill mosquitoes. It is an environmentally friendly, non-polluting and efficient killing tool developed by chasing carbon dioxide breath and sex-seeking pheromones. It is currently the most environmentally friendly mosquito killing tool on the market.
Type 3, Sticky Mosquito Killer Lamp:
working principle:
The working principle of the sticky mosquito killer lamp is to attract mosquitoes through the principle of light attraction, and then stick the cardboard to stick the mosquitoes. The sticky mosquito killer lamp lies in its environmental protection design concept: no bad smell of burning; no sound and electric spark; insect corpses will not decompose and scatter due to electric shock to cause environmental pollution; no high-voltage power grid, safe to use. At present, it is widely used in food factories, dust-free workshops, hotels, high-end restaurants, coffee shops, shopping malls and other places with high environmental requirements. There is no high-voltage power grid, and mosquitoes are stuck by sticky cardboard.
Type 4, photocatalytic mosquito trap:
working principle:
Photocatalytic mosquito trap is also called light touch and catalytic mosquito trap. It is the only mosquito killing device that uses light, taste and wind integrated technology. Mosquitoes find people by the carbon dioxide breath emitted by the human body. When they feel the carbon dioxide airflow, they immediately Fly to this air current. Moreover, they also have phototaxis and weak wind, and what attracts them is ultraviolet light. The photocatalytic mosquito trap adopts the mosquito favorite ultraviolet light trap lamp, which emits light at 360 angles and has a low temperature effect, which can attract mosquitoes and flies in any direction; through the photocatalytic reaction produced by the ultraviolet light trap lamp and photocatalyst, the human body is modeled The humid breath of carbon dioxide emitted by the fan attracts mosquitoes, and the fan stirs the surrounding air at high speed to form a vortex, so that the mosquitoes that are accustomed to flying with the air flow come with the wind. Once mosquitoes are sucked into the capture window, it is absolutely difficult to escape the strong eddy current formed by the fan, and they will be sucked to the bottom of the trap by the fan until they dry up and die.
I will give you a brief explanation of the four most commonly used mosquito killer lamps on the market. Let me focus on the last one, which is the photocatalytic mosquito trap. It is said that the bottom of the box is good, and I personally strongly recommend it.
The photocatalytic mosquito trap is the most environmentally friendly and efficient mosquito killer. The mosquito trap lamp has a wavelength of 360-380 nanometers, which is harmless to the human body; trace amounts of carbon dioxide and water come from photocatalysis, which is equivalent to human breathing, without any toxic chemicals Ingredients; photocatalytic reaction can also purify the air, effectively kill various bacteria in the air, and absorb various toxic and harmful gases. It has the same killing effect on flies and moths, and its overall performance is better than other mosquito killing products. Its biggest feature is that it can continuously kill blood-sucking female mosquitoes in the same space, thereby effectively interrupting the breeding cycle of mosquito groups in the space and its surrounding larger areas, and achieving the effect of killing mosquitoes in groups.
The photocatalytic mosquito trap uses the eddy current formed by the fan to dehydrate the mosquitoes and air-dry them to death. There is no "popping" noise of the electric mosquito trap, and there is no accident caused by high-voltage electric energy, so it is safer and more reliable. It can be widely used in various indoor and outdoor places such as families, hotels, restaurants, student dormitories, hospitals, coffee shops, etc.
