Bug zappers use ultraviolet (UV) light to lure insects into an electrified grid.
The fatal flaw here is a biological one: Mosquitoes are not attracted to UV light.
Female mosquitoes (the ones that bite) track down their targets using carbon dioxide (CO_2) from our breath, body heat, and chemicals in our sweat. They couldn't care less about a glowing blue light.
Multiple university studies tracking the "body count" of backyard bug zappers have yielded eye-opening results:
The Target Ratio: Out of all the insects killed by a standard backyard zapper, typically less than 1% are mosquitoes or biting flies.
The Collateral Damage: The remaining 99% of the casualties are harmless or highly beneficial insects, such as moths, beetles, green lacewings, and parasitic wasps (which naturally hunt the pests eating your garden flora).
The Plot Twist: Because the UV light attracts curious insects from all around but doesn't actually interest mosquitoes, running a zapper near your patio can actually draw more bugs into your immediate area without fixing your mosquito problem.
