Bug Zapper

There are 2 types of light bulbs  bug zappers in general: white and black. This review is about the Stinger ultra bug zapper black light bulb.  The main difference is the type of color bulbs that were used. This of course has the effect of killing different types of bulbs. Certain insects like mosquitos oare attracted by black light while other are attracted by white light. So, depending on the kind of pests that you are trying to kill, you have to decide on which is the model that is suitable for you.

For those who don’t how they work, here is a quick recap so that you can be on your way to killing those pests. I agree that they are quite the life irriant. Before I start using them, whenever I go to the garden, I will be greeted by mosquitos, flies, moths etc. I Now, with the bug zapper, I just turn it on and hear the sound zap zap zap while I enjoy my garden view.

Back to the mechanics of how this bug zappers works.  It actually uses two methods of killing pests. There is the  ultraviolet light from a 40-watt black light bulb. This black light is like a magnet for mosquitoes. As a result, the company claimed that it can capture 40% more insects compared to ultraviolet white bulb versions. Actually,  I have seen this difference. I own both types of colored bulb and frankly, they are equally good.  The second method that the stinger ultra bug zapper uses to kill pests is the integrated cartridge designed for the NOsquito Octenol Lure. This thing works by giving out a scent similar to a large mammal. Now, this maybe the real reason why this is better than the other bug zapper I owned. I think the smell really attracts these buggers and then send them to their zoom by zapping them. What fun!

Here is a bit more information on this model in case you need. There is a sensor that can help to detect when is night time. You can use this to turn the zapper off during the day when there are less mosquitos around to kill. This will help you save a bit of electric bills. In addition, there is an indication button to alert you of when the zapper is working.

Overall, I think this work ok. If you are in the market for a bug zapper, why not consider the Stinger ultra bug zapper black light bulb.
