I’ve heard mixed opinions on this, but do bug zappers really kill moths? Are they effective, or just harmful to other insects?
Indeed, bug zappers do kill moths. Most zappers attract insects with ultraviolet light, which moths can’t resist.
That’s what I was afraid of. It seems like a blunt solution to a problem. Isn’t there an environmentally friendlier way to manage moths?
You can try to use LED lights instead; they attract fewer insects. But yes, bug zappers are pretty broad in what they kill.
