Features of mosquito lamps

Rest in the country and nature often poisons the presence of annoying insects. In order to have a pleasant time without these guests in the gazebo or on the terrace, you need to arm yourself with special protective equipment. Spraying with aerosols is not very safe, and not very effective, mosquitoes will still circle around. Various anti-mosquito lamps can be considered much more modern and safe means.

An anti-mosquito lamp is a fairly effective invention that provides a comfortable stay in nature. Glowing lamps from mosquitoes, regardless of the type, work on a similar principle. Light attracts insects, and after that they find themselves in an unpleasant situation - under the net, where tension kills them. In fact, the level of stress is not harmful to people and pets, but it is destructive for small insects. All lamps have different types of physical effects on pests. In addition to mosquitoes, such devices can get rid of butterflies, moths, and flies. They all have their own range, which is worth considering. For example, the radius of UV lamps is much larger than that of insecticidal lamps.

In addition to electric devices, there are models that catch mosquitoes with glue, there are options with UV radiation, repellents. The devices can be useful both indoors and outdoors. There are options that are designed for the destruction of mosquitoes on an industrial scale, in areas of more than 500 square meters. For local scaring, low-power devices are used, the strength of which is sufficient to ensure peace in a tent or on a terrace.

The principle of action is at the heart of the classification of lamps for the destruction and repelling of insects.

An LED or insecticidal lamp has a built-in luminous source that attracts insects. It is usually yellow, warm, and therefore has an attractive effect on mosquitoes. The killing bloodsucking lamp is treated with a special substance that acts as a destroyer. Thus, a cloud forms around the light source, causing the mosquitoes to fall dead. Among the disadvantages of this device is the need to remove insects, no other significant disadvantages have been identified.

Such lamps against insects are suitable for outdoors, at home, in industries. They are successfully installed where it is important to maintain sanitation and hygiene, because all flying ones are destroyed. The lantern is easy to clean, you can change the light source if necessary.

The glue trap also works great against crawling pests. This is an electrical trap which does not kill, but only lures annoying guests. Attracted by light or a special compound, they stick to the glue and can no longer interfere with their presence. An LED or fluorescent light source can also be integrated here. This option is often used in children's and medical institutions, because it is absolutely safe.

Blue UV lamps are more like a standard flashlight, which is why they are often used for outdoor use.... The weight of the device is quite impressive - up to 2 kg.The principle of operation is based on the work of LEDs with UV radiation. The light is protected by a grill, the shocking rods of which kill insects. Insects are attracted by light and killed by electric current. Such a flashlight works both from a regular network and on a solar battery - you can choose the right model.

The radius of destruction is different, it depends on the brand and model of the device. UV devices can ensure mosquito-free coverage of up to 100 square meters. Among the obvious advantages is complete safety in terms of ecology and health of people and animals. In addition, the lamps are easy to use and, if used correctly, will last a long time. And practicality, the combination of light and trap, also has a positive meaning.

But there are also downsides to be aware of:

• the use of this device will be only in the evening or at night, when it is dark outside;
• if you touch the grating, a small current shock cannot be avoided;
• you will have to constantly remove the dead mosquitoes;
• such lamps are not suitable for rooms with high humidity.

The insect repellent option using repellents is a common category. This lamp works effectively and protects against mosquitoes. According to the principle of action, it is identical to an aroma lamp or fumigator. The device has a reservoir, plates that release certain components into the air when heated, scaring off bloodsucking. Among the advantages of such a device:

• works against all insects in the room, since the air is filled with insecticidal components;

First of all, you need to decide - where and how you will use the device... If you need a device for going out into nature, for outdoor activities, fishing, you need to pay attention to such qualities as shock resistance, moisture resistance. In a room of a house or apartment, a device with a short range will be enough.

The garden setting can also be different, if you like to sit on a closed terrace, a device designed for indoor will do.It is also important to take into account such a moment - whether it will be possible to connect the lamp to the network or it is optimal to choose an autonomous design on the battery. As for the choice of the type of device, it is better to rely on your own preferences, almost all modern insect killers are safe for animals and people.

There is nothing difficult in using lamps, but there are several rules:

• first, the place where the device will be installed is selected;
• if the kit includes a chain or other clamp, the lamp can be fixed by weight;
• there are devices that can be mounted on the wall, a bracket is used for this;
• the lamp is connected to the network, if necessary, or the device itself is turned on;
• the mode is set, if provided;
• after installation and switching on, it is necessary to check whether the device is working;
• if an insect tray is provided, it is located strictly horizontally.

The most difficult thing in this is to choose the installation area correctly, otherwise the work efficiency may decrease. There are a number of guidelines to follow.

• The lamp is installed where it is clearly visible, preferably from different positions. This ensures the most effective effect on everyone in the room.
• It is ideal to place several lamps around the perimeter of the room. In this case, mosquitoes will not enter the comfort zone at all.
• If you are outdoors, do not put the lamp in close proximity to you. Although the device is safe, the lamp attracts insects and they can bite you when approaching it.
• In the room, look for a place that will prevent the mosquito from flying to the person and biting him. For example, if you go to bed, then insects should be prevented from flying to bed. If the lamp is not between the window and the bed, but on the other side, the bloodsucker will have time to bite. And only then will he fly to the lamp.
• Do not place the lamp above 5 and below 2 meters from the floor... Do not hang the lamp where vehicles are moving, animals are running or people are walking. This can lead to mechanical damage.
• Do not place the device in a draft line, insecticidal devices are afraid of high humidity... Direct sunlight and rain are contraindicated for them.

If you come to the dacha or come into a room where there are mosquitoes, turn on the lamp and leave it. While you temporarily leave the room, insects will not be distracted by a person and will fly to the lamp. Despite the fact that the device is positioned as safe, there are a number of precautions that must be taken:

• it is better to protect the lattice of the lantern from water;
• a lamp operating with the help of a current can inflict a very sensitive current shock, therefore, after turning it on, you cannot touch it;
• do not let children play with the lamp, do not let animals near it;
• periodically clean the device from dead insects, first turn off the device and shake out everything that has accumulated, then you can wipe it.
