Editor's Pick: Summer barbecues in the backyard or evenings on the balcony can be annoying with mosquitoes buzzing around your head. This mosquito zapper charges in the sun during the day and automatically lights up in the evening. Its 4500V grid zaps them on contact. With coverage of up to one acre, just place it in a corner of your yard—no wiring or maintenance needed. The main unit and solar panel can be separated, so you can position the panel in a sunny spot and stick it into the ground. It's rain-resistant, and cleaning is easy—just use a brush to sweep the grid.

问大家
: How effective is it at repelling mosquitoes? 灭蚊效果怎么样？
回复 @半只鸭鸭不够 : Let me put the truth out there first: This type of UV bug zapper has very limited effectiveness against mosquitoes in your backyard. Although the ads make it sound great, with a grid voltage as high as 4500V, and it can indeed zap plenty of insects with a satisfying crackle, its biggest problem is **"getting the target wrong."** Let’s break it down from a scientific and practical perspective: 1. Why can’t it kill mosquitoes? - **Mosquitoes aren’t attracted to light:** Most mosquitoes (especially the blood-sucking females) find their targets using carbon dioxide, body heat, and sweat odors from humans, not UV light. - **Kills beneficial insects instead:** The purple light attracts mostly moths, midges (the non-biting kind), beetles, and other phototactic insects. Scientific studies show that mosquitoes make up less than 1% of the insects killed by these bug zappers. When you hear that "crackle," it’s likely an innocent moth biting the dust, while mosquitoes might be flying right past the lamp to bite you. 2. Pros and cons of this product - **Pros:** - Solar-powered, saving you the hassle of running an extension cord in the backyard—pretty convenient. - Somewhat effective against moths and small flying insects in the yard, reducing overall bug density. - **Cons:** - Can’t solve the core problem of mosquito bites. - The crackling sound might be a bit noisy during a quiet evening. **Truly effective backyard mosquito control solutions** If you want to completely get rid of mosquitoes in your backyard, I’d suggest spending that $40 on these more effective methods: - **Source elimination (most important):** Mosquitoes only need a spoonful of water to lay eggs. Check your backyard for standing water in flower pot trays, clogged gutters, buckets, or uncovered trash cans. No standing water, no mosquitoes. - **Fan method (simple, straightforward, and highly effective):** When sitting in the backyard or grilling, set up a regular high-power floor fan blowing toward people. Mosquitoes are weak fliers (only about 2 km/h), so the fan can blow them away and also disperse the carbon dioxide and body odors around you, making it hard for mosquitoes to find you. - **Space repellent (Thermacell):** If you don’t want to spray on repellent, get a Thermacell portable mosquito repeller (it uses heat to release pyrethroid compounds from a mat). It creates an odorless protective zone over about a dozen square meters, working great for static outdoor activities. - **Personal protection:** Use mosquito repellent sprays containing **Picaridin** or **DEET**—the gold standard for skin protection. **Summary recommendation:** If your goal is to "avoid mosquito bites," I wouldn’t recommend buying this bug zapper in the picture. If you just want fewer moths buzzing around the light during evening BBQs and are looking for something cheap and convenient, you can buy it for fun, but don’t expect much mosquito control. I just went through this yesterday... 大实话先放在前面：这类紫外线电击灭蚊灯（Bug Zapper）对付后院的蚊子，效果其实非常有限。 虽然广告上写得很好听，电网电压也高达 4500V，它确实能噼里啪啦电死不少昆虫，但它最大的问题在于**“方向搞错了”**。 我们可以从科学原理和实际使用来拆解一下： 1. 为什么它灭不了蚊子？ 蚊子不趋光： 绝大多数蚊子（尤其是吸血的雌蚊）寻找目标是靠人体排出的二氧化碳、体热和汗液气味，而不是靠紫外线。 误杀益虫： 灭蚊灯的紫光吸引的大多是飞蛾、摇蚊（不咬人的那种）、甲壳虫等趋光性昆虫。科学研究表明，这类灭蚊灯电死的昆虫里，蚊子占比通常还不到 1%。你听到“噼啪”一声，大概率是死了一只无辜的飞蛾，而蚊子可能正绕过灯去咬你。 2. 这类产品的优缺点 优点： 太阳能充电，省去了在后院拉排插的麻烦，确实挺方便。 对付后院的飞蛾、小飞虫确实有一定效果，能减少整体的虫子密度。 缺点： 无法解决根本的蚊子叮咬问题。 噼里啪啦的电击声在安静的傍晚可能会有点吵。 后院控蚊的真正有效方案 如果你想在后院彻底摆脱蚊子，建议把这 $40 刀预算花在以下更有效的方法上： 源头清理（最重要）： 蚊子产卵只需要一勺水。检查后院有没有积水的花盆托盘、堵塞的雨水渠、水桶或者没盖好的垃圾桶。没有积水，就没有蚊子。 风扇大法（简单粗暴且极有效）： 在后院坐着或者烤肉时，放一台普通的大风力落地扇对着人吹。蚊子飞行能力极弱（时速只有约 2 公里），风扇不仅能把它们吹跑，还能吹散你周围聚集的二氧化碳和体味，让蚊子找不到你。 空间驱蚊（Thermacell）： 如果不想喷防蚊液，可以买 Thermacell 的便携式驱蚊器（利用加热驱蚊片释放拟除虫菊酯成分）。它能在十几平米的范围内形成一个无味的保护罩，在后院静态活动时效果非常好。 个人防护： 认准含有 派卡瑞丁 (Picaridin) 或 避蚊胺 (DEET) 成分的驱蚊喷雾，这是皮肤防蚊的金标准。 总结建议： 如果你是为了“不被蚊子咬”，不建议买图上这个灭蚊灯；如果是为了晚上烤肉时少点飞蛾围着灯泡转，且图个便宜方便，可以买着玩，但别对灭蚊抱太大期望。 我昨天刚过…
回复 @靠海的孩子 : Alright, but the sister upstairs seems to have used it and said it works. 好吧 但是看楼上姐妹应该是用过说有用
: Is it effective against flies? 对苍蝇有用吗？
: Checked it out, it should be somewhat useful, but it attracts flies less effectively than mosquitoes. For flies, using a specialized fly zapper or a sticky trap would be more effective. 查了下应该是有一点用 但是对苍蝇的吸引不如对蚊子的，用那种专门的灭蝇灯或者粘捕式的对苍蝇更有用

: Useful, it uses the principle of mosquitoes being attracted to blue-violet light. 有用的，用的是蚊子趋蓝紫光原理
