How does a Yellow Bug Light Work to Keep Bugs Away?
You are probably familiar with the phrase “like a moth to a flame,” but did you know that a brief understanding of a flying insects’ attraction to light can help you with your pest management? Sunco Lighting LED Yellow Bug Lights offer a simple and appealing solution to deterring bugs at doorways and near outdoor dining areas without the use of harmful chemicals.
To be clear, these yellow bug bulbs are not a pesticide or one of those annoying bug zappers. They do not eliminate bugs. They deter them. We will uncover how that works in this blog.
Are bugs less attracted to yellow light bulbs than blue light bulbs?
The simple answer is yes. Insects see a smaller portion of the Visible Light Spectrum than humans. Humans can see the entire Visible Light Spectrum (~380-750nm), but not the full UV light spectrum. (You can learn more about Understanding the Visible Light Spectrum and Color in our blog post.)
