around us for their food. They suck our blood, make us feel itchy, and they
fly away for their next target. We all want to get rid of these mosquitos,
Now we have to choose some other ways to deal with these idiot
mosquitos.
A bug zapper circuit attracts different mosquitos and insects, such as flies,
As we all know that the zapper bug is quite convenient for us; similarly,

It contains two slim grids, which are electrically charged; due to the high
towards itself.
On the other hand, this bug zapper circuit is an electrical circuit whose
main parts are grids and wires that are wrapped around these grids,
which emit light. It controls the mosquitos and bugs around itself by killing
Bugs are killed by the high voltage current given to them by these grids.
We called this circuit bug zapper because it kills bugs, and when it kills, it
Here we have circuit C1 and a resistor R1; they both have different agave
After some time, the current will start migrating towards other secondary
volts at winding.
To raise the voltage up to 600 volts, we can use a ladder network called
Crockcroft-waited at TR1.
By bringing the 2uF capacitors output terminal less distance, it will make
the power connection weaker between the capacitors, and that’s what we
Some moment later, the capacitor will stop working and charge itself for
another spark.
We can use this circuit in bug zapper to kill mosquitos and bugs or other
Attach capacitors of 2uF end with the internal and external mesh
bet layers.
some distance and attach the mesh bet layers with the frames
So If a poor mosquito or bug flies near these layers, which are made
spark.
During the insufficient power generation, we can modify our bug zapper
the 3 Volts battery, we can recharge it and reuse it easily with less energy
consumption.
It is quite normal that we will use this circuit by pressing the ON button.
After switching it on the high frequencies, vibrations will start with the
Then due to vibration, diodes are setup to 500 Volts to 1500 volts.
When the 1500 volts reach the grids, it will start attracting mosquitos
towards itself.
It causes the LED light to light up so that it will attract bugs. Eventually, due
to this attractive light, the mosquitos flew towards it and died due to the
high voltage running in the wire, which is wrapped around the grids.
Every bug zapper is of different sizes and designs and also depends on the
Materials required:
2. Glue gun,
4. Soldering gun,
5. Screws,
6. Plywood,
Steps
We will use two wooden plates of equal sizes as the vase cover of the plant.
After that, with the help of the vase plant cover, we will tighten up the
wooden plates.
Now we will drill six same holes in base plates. We will do this to
Use hot glue to fix the UV LED bulb around the grind to secure it.
Add some other components, such as black and red wires around the grid,
and please make sure that we will avoid any overlapping in it as it will
When we place all the stuff together now, fix them all with some hot shiny
If the LED of the zapper bag is not working, unplug the wire carefully from
the switch and re-plug it into another switch; maybe there is an issue with
the switch. Just make sure that it is not an issue related to the power
supply.
If you see an issue that the bulb is off, but it is still killing the bugs, then
unplug the wire, open the bulb, make sure that it is not broken, and then
reuse it. Sometimes bulb takes some time to lighten up, just like some
people.
To solve the issue of sparking, open the grid, and clean it carefully. It
occurs because of some dirt. Use some bristles for its cleaning.
If the bulb is still not working, then there will be an issue with the wires
around the grid. Make sure that the wires are fine.
Conclusion:
Zapper bag is the best insect-killing tool so far. As we all know that the
zapper bug is quite convenient for us; similarly, building a bug zapper bag
is easy. It is also easy to use and affordable. It kills almost all annoying
But on the other hand, there is a disadvantage that it will use electricity
which may result in high electricity bills, which is an alarming fact for us.
Also, it is harmful to kids as it emits light which may attract children and
harm them.
