+<br>A bug zapper,  [Zappify official website](https://elearnportal.science/wiki/User:GiaMolineux1973) more formally referred to as an electrical discharge insect control system, electric insect killer or (insect) electrocutor trap, is a system that attracts and kills flying insects which are attracted by gentle. A light source attracts insects to an electrical grid, the place they're electrocuted by touching two wires with a excessive voltage between them. The name comes from the characteristic onomatopoeic "zap" sound produced when an insect is electrocuted. How Does a Bug Zapper Work? Inside Poundland's electric fly zapper bat. Do bug zappers really work? Bug zappers are usually housed in a protective cage of plastic or grounded metal bars to forestall folks or larger animals from touching the high voltage grid. A mild source is fitted inside, typically a fluorescent lamp designed to emit each visible and ultraviolet light, which is visible to insects and attracts a wide range of them. Newer models now use lengthy-life LEDs to supply the sunshine. The light supply is surrounded by a pair of interleaved naked wire grids or helices.<br>

+<br>The space between adjoining wires is usually about 2 mm (0.079 in). A high-voltage energy provide powered by wall power is used, which could also be a easy transformerless voltage multiplier circuit made with diodes and capacitors which can generate a voltage of 2 kilovolts or extra. This is high enough to conduct through the body of an insect which bridges the two grids, however not excessive sufficient to spark throughout the air hole. Enough electric present flows by the small body of the insect to heat it to a high temperature. The impedance of the ability supply and the arrangement of the grid is such that it can't drive a harmful current via the body of a human. Many bug zappers are fitted with trays that collect the electrocuted insects
