1. Is the light of the mosquito killer lamp ultraviolet?

It is understood that most of the mosquito killing lamps on the market are designed based on the "phototaxis", "odor tendency", "humidity and temperature" of mosquitoes. Among them, the phototaxis is based on "ultraviolet", which simply means that the light of the mosquito killer is ultraviolet. In fact, the light of the mosquito killer lamp is a near-ultraviolet light wave. The mosquito trapping system of the regular manufacturer's mosquito killer lamp includes: long-wave ultraviolet and violet light, with a spectral range of 300nm-400nm. Long-wave ultraviolet rays are invisible to the naked eye, and what we see is purple light, which is actually not helpful for attracting mosquitoes. UV light can interfere with the flight of mosquitoes, "attracting" mosquitoes to the light source. From this point of view, UV mosquito killer lamps are useful.
