The light bulb zapper attracts insects with light and then electrocutes them when they come into contact with the electrified grid surrounding the bulb.
The best features to look for in a bug zapper light bulb for effective insect control are a high voltage output, a wavelength attractive to insects, and a durable construction.
Zapper light bulbs can help control insects in outdoor spaces by attracting and killing bugs using UV light. This can reduce the annoyance of bugs and potential health risks from insect bites.
When purchasing a bug zapper bulb, look for features like high voltage output, UV light attraction, energy efficiency, and compatibility with your existing bug zapper device.
When the bug zapper light turns red, it typically indicates that the device is either malfunctioning or requires maintenance, such as cleaning the collection tray or replacing the bulb. Some models use a red light to signal that the unit is powered on but may not be actively zapping insects. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific meanings related to your particular bug zapper model.
Make sure you have it connected properly. If you do, then it's just the bulb. Return your new bulb for a different one. This happened to me once.
Insects, especially winged insects, are attracted to the bright light emitted from a light bulb. Spiders prey on insects, so the more insects are attracted to a certain place, the more spiders will be present there to eat them.
Try placing outside your home on your deck; a fly zapper with a flourescent bulb in it, of a similar wavelength. I guess its warm where you are. Follow up: Honey bees and most insects inclusive are attracted to ultraviolet light (UV). The basics of the flourescent tube will create all UV light of which is converted to visable (to us) light by phosphors inside the tube. A proportion of this is still UV and will attract insects. Placing the fly-zapper outside will work to combat the problem as they are more attracted to the special UV type lights incorporated in them.
Colored light bulbs might not do the trick but you can switch to LED lighting which attracts insects way less than a normal light bulb would do while providing additonal benefits.
Any bulb supplier, Just get the number off the bulb. Bulbman (you can search it) has the best prices, I buy them regularly myself.
Thomas Edison is best-known for the light bulb.
