Apr 23, 2023
An outdoor mosquito repellent lamp is an electronic device that attracts and kills mosquitoes. It usually consists of a light bulb or UV lamp, and one or more devices that attract insects, such as scent or light. When mosquitoes are attracted to the vicinity of the bulb or lamp, they are electrocuted or stuck and thus eliminated. Outdoor mosquito repellent lamps are usually used in camping, outdoor barbecues, fields and other outdoor environments, which can help people avoid mosquito bites and disease transmission.
Outdoor mosquito repellent lights work mainly by using light or smell to attract mosquitoes, and then use electric shock or sticky board and other ways to destroy them. The following is the specific working principle:
1. Light attraction: outdoor mosquito repellent lamp will usually use ultraviolet lamps or other specific wavelengths of light to attract mosquitoes. This is because many insects have a strong response to specific wavelengths of light, especially ultraviolet light, can attract mosquitoes close to the lamp or bulb.
2. Odor attraction: Some outdoor mosquito repellent lamps will also use some specific odor to attract mosquitoes, such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid, ammonia, etc.. These odors can imitate the human or other animal breathing, sweating and other smells, thus attracting mosquitoes close to the lamp or bulb.
3. Electric shock kill: When mosquitoes are attracted to the lamp or bulb near, outdoor mosquito repellent lamps will use electric shock grid to eliminate them. The electric shock grid is usually composed of two electrically charged wire mesh, when the mosquito comes into contact with the charged grid, it will be electrocuted and die.
4. Sticky capture: In addition to electric shock to kill, outdoor mosquito repellent lights can also use sticky board to capture mosquitoes. Sticky board is usually coated with a layer of sticky material, when the mosquito close to be stuck, can not escape. The sticky board can be cleaned or replaced so that it can be reused.
In general, outdoor mosquito repellent lamps use light or smell that attracts insects to attract mosquitoes to the vicinity of the lamp or bulb, and then destroy them by electric shock or sticky board.
