A bug zapper, extra formally referred to as an electrical discharge insect management system, [Zap Zone Defender Device](https://wiki.lafabriquedelalogistique.fr/Utilisateur:ShanelParadis95) electric insect killer or (insect) electrocutor trap, is a device that attracts and kills flying insects that are attracted by mild. A gentle source attracts insects to an electrical grid, where they are electrocuted by touching two wires with a high voltage between them. The name comes from the characteristic onomatopoeic "[Zap Zone Defender Testimonial](http://119.45.28.55:10880/elbadeboer7896/zap-zone-defender-experience8202/wiki/One+of+the+Best+Mosquito+Zapper+Diaries)" sound produced when an insect is electrocuted. How Does a Bug Zapper Work? Inside Poundland's electric fly zapper bat. Do bug zappers actually work? Bug zappers are usually housed in a protective cage of plastic or grounded metallic bars to forestall individuals or bigger animals from touching the excessive voltage grid. A gentle supply is fitted inside, often a fluorescent lamp designed to emit each seen and ultraviolet gentle, which is visible to insects and attracts a variety of them. Newer models now use long-life LEDs to produce the sunshine. The light supply is surrounded by a pair of interleaved bare wire grids or helices.

The distance between adjoining wires is typically about 2 mm (0.079 in). A high-voltage energy supply powered by wall energy is used, which could also be a simple transformerless voltage multiplier circuit made with diodes and capacitors which may generate a voltage of 2 kilovolts or more. That is high sufficient to conduct by the physique of an insect which bridges the two grids, however not high enough to spark throughout the air gap. Enough electric current flows by way of the small body of the insect to heat it to a excessive temperature. The impedance of the power supply and the association of the grid is such that it can not drive a dangerous present through the physique of a human. Many bug zappers are fitted with trays that accumulate the electrocuted insects \ No newline at end of file
