Can ultraviolet rays kill mosquitoes?

Ultraviolet rays cannot kill mosquitoes.

In fact, the function of ultraviolet rays is to interfere with the navigation system of flying insects and attract mosquitoes, such as mosquito repellent lights. Nowadays, many mosquito repellent lamps on the market are actually photocatalyst mosquito repellents, which use the ultraviolet rays that mosquitoes like best to lure mosquitoes.

360-degree illumination, coupled with micro-temperature effect, releases carbon dioxide and airflow, simulates the humid smell of carbon dioxide emitted by human body, and lures mosquitoes to fly. The fan stirs the surrounding air to form a vortex, so that mosquitoes who are used to flying with the airflow come with the wind. Once the mosquito is sucked into the trap window, it is difficult to escape the vortex formed by the fan, and it will be sucked to the bottom of the trap by the vortex of the fan until it dries to death.
