What is a Bug Zapper?
A bug zapper is a device that uses light to attract an insect, and then electrocutes the insect, causing death. People often use the bug zapper to cut down on insect populations in their backyards or on their patios. However, some of the main insects that one would want to kill, such as mosquitoes, seem relatively immune to the charms of a buzzing light and will avoid the bug zapper. Other valuable insects, like moths and butterflies, which pose no harm to humans get attracted to the light and suffer untimely and unnecessary deaths.
