4hw.com.cn: mosquito repellent lamps are popular on the Internet. Because many people buy them, others buy them. Many people have not considered their effectiveness. Can mosquito repellent lamps kill mosquitoes? Mosquito repellent lamps are useless for blood sucking mosquitoes. But why can we see a lot of mosquitoes die when we use ultraviolet light to drive away mosquitoes. In fact, those mosquitoes are not all blood sucking mosquitoes, more than 90% of them are not blood sucking chironomid mosquitoes, and only less than 10% of them are blood sucking mosquitoes, indicating that their mosquito killing effect is relatively weak.
What attracts mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can't be attracted by ultraviolet rays. What really attracts mosquitoes are the carbon dioxide, smell and infrared rays produced by people and animals. But the mosquito is actually color blind, cannot distinguish clearly the color difference, therefore uses the orange red light to drive away the mosquito actually also has no effect. In order to attract mosquitoes, it is necessary to simulate human odor, infrared and carbon dioxide, but this is more difficult. Even if it can be used, it will not be used in such a common mosquito repellent lamp.
