Any small flying insect attracted by ultra violet even small moths and beetles. Some take a while to cook and smoke a little. It's fun to watch. The tiny flies get zapped when they are 3 abreast in the zapper. Sometimes I blow it out at midnight and again in the morning. I use an electric leaf blower. Bugs are pretty stupid. I used one for a couple of years and *like yours, it would be loaded with bugs. *The problem, however, is that it attracted more bugs than when I had nothing and it was still a net gain on my screen door in spite of those killed away from the house where the zapper was hung. *I'd never have one again. *. *It may work better in more urban areas, especially if a few neighbors have them too. That is pretty much my story too. I took one camping and it attracted more than it killed. Having the extra propane bottle did come in handy . They are good for emptying out the bugs in a controlled space like a screened porch. Jimmie |
