Is LED Mosquito Killing Lamp Worth Buying?
In recent years, mosquito killer lamps have gradually become a sharp tool in summer mosquito killer products. At present, the more common mosquito killing lamps are mainly ultraviolet mosquito killing lamps, which use long-wave ultraviolet rays in the UV spectrum. The reason why mosquito killing lamps can kill mosquitoes is to use a special life habit of mosquitoes - phototaxis.
The retinas of most insects are very sensitive to long-wave ultraviolet light, and if the long-wave ultraviolet light is in the wavelength range of exactly 315 to 400 nanometers, it can attract a large number of mosquitoes. Mosquito lamps try to take advantage of this by releasing light beams and other chemicals to lure mosquitoes. Ideally, when mosquitoes see the light emitted by the mosquito killer lamp, they will keep approaching the light source, and then they will be sucked into the lamp by the fan blade airflow of the mosquito killer lamp, and the negative pressure device in the lamp will release a high-voltage current, so that the Mosquito eradication.
Due to the convenience of use and no obvious smell, mosquito killer lamps are favored by more and more people. However, studies have confirmed that the mosquito killing effect of mosquito killer lamps is not ideal. Among the insects killed by some mosquito killer lamps, only a few are mosquitoes, and among them, a large number of male mosquitoes that do not suck blood are included.
The work of mosquito killer lamps mainly focuses on attracting mosquitoes, catching mosquitoes, and eliminating mosquitoes. The latter two points are easier to achieve, but it is more difficult to attract mosquitoes efficiently. Light can be divided into visible light, far-infrared light, ultraviolet light, etc. The core principle of ultraviolet mosquito killing lamp is to have light of suitable wavelength. Mosquitoes have certain phototaxis, but different mosquitoes have different sensitivity to different wavelengths of light. Therefore, it is difficult for mosquito repellent lamps with only the same wavelength of light to attract all types of mosquitoes, which makes the mosquito killing effect of mosquito killers limited. In addition, because the UV mosquito killer must be in an environment without any light to attract mosquitoes, and there are usually other light disturbances in the room, it will also affect the attracting effect of the mosquito killer.
Long-term use of mosquito killer lamps will also cause certain harm to our body. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays emitted by mosquito killer lamps will cause the skin to darken, roughen and cause other potential damage. Therefore, if there are special needs, use UV mosquito killer lamps with caution.
Scientific research shows that there are several groups of people who are particularly prone to attract mosquitoes: first, those with a faster metabolism; second, those with a faster breathing rate; third, those who sweat a lot; fourth, obese people; fifth, those who like to wear heavy makeup The sixth is the person who loves to drink and eat meat; the seventh is the person who wears dark clothes; the eighth is the person who does 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 the use of UV 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 repellent tablets, and mosquito repellent water. In addition, it should be noted that when there are many mosquitoes, such as in the evening, it is necessary to stay less in pavilions with more green plants, green belts, pools, lakes and other places where mosquitoes are easy to breed.
