Dec 4, 2017 · Among insects drawn by light traps, moreover, are species carrying diseases transmittable to humans and livestock, which could be exposed to infection in the vicinity of the devices. Still, it is no secret why scientists like light traps. Modern light traps are cheap, inexpensive and portable, often resembling a small tube feeder for backyard ...

Jul 28, 2020 · Mosquitoes are among major disease vectors impacting humans and animals around the world and the findings have important implications for using light to control them.
Jan 30, 2023 · For instance, light traps proved to be effective against the cigarette beetle Lasioderma serricorne (F.) in warehouses (Gornostaev, 1984). However, the system of control of this pest based on pheromone monitoring and fumigation proved to be more economically expedient (Buchelos and Papadopoulou, 1999; da Silva et al., 2018), even though the pheromone was considerably less attractive than the ...
Oct 23, 2018 · Light‐trapping equipment can differ from ALAN in important ways: Experimental light traps usually emit more short wavelengths, are often without glass shields (which filter UV), and are placed near the ground (Degen et al., 2016). However, experiments that vary the intensity and spectral composition of light traps can still offer insight into the potential effects of ALAN on positively ...

Near-ultraviolet (UV-A: 315–400 nm), “black-light,”electric lamps were invented in 1935 and ultraviolet insect light traps (ILTs) were introduced for use in agriculture around that time. Today ILTs are used indoors in several industries and in food-service as well as in outdoor settings. With recent interest in photobiological lamp safety ...
