Does the white or black bulb work best for mosquitoes

I think the bulb is white? It glows a blue green color at night looks good on the porch at night.

we have the black bulb which looks more like a dark blue; it seems to work well.

Honestly, I wouldn't buy this for the mosquito repelling qualities- the regular therms cells work excellent- your better off getting a regular lantern & some of those!

It hasn't made any difference, there are still the same amount of bugs that are attracted to the lights. But they do use much less energy and they are very bright.

the UV light attracts a ton of bugs at night but day time not so much. The Octenol makes the thing a bug killing fiend but in day time it is lack luster and probably a waste. Every morning it is 100% covered and clogged from mosquitoes and i have to use my data vac to clean it off. I use the 1 acre and 1.5 acre one and both are 100% covered by morning but during the day they hardly kill anything. They work at night well even without the Octenol but it definitely helps to have it. I have terrible mosquitoes here and mine only kills a few so if you are not flooded with them it probably won't do much for you during the day. I have to go outside with bug spray at noon to keep the mosquitoes off -_- the UV light attracts a ton of bugs at night but day time not so much.

I see various types of moths and flys that get zapped in mine because they are attracted to the light. I'm glad you asked because I found some interesting information that relates to attractants on http://www.mosquitomagnet.com/advice/keys-to-success/attractants-101

We use an ordinary incandescent bulb and it works just fine. Great light, we love it. It is on our detached garage and gets brighter as we walk past it to the house and then dims to half bright.

Yes, anything flourescent or bight white will glow, it works just like a regular blacklight.

I only have the white bulb, using it in outdoor motion sensing floods, and it is very bright. Warm bulbs are usually used indoors, but if you are using these in an entry way or porch, you may want to use a warm bulb.

I dont know, I have never used it in an area with a lot of bugs. I only used it in the desert. The lights are not that high powered, but then again really any light will attract soem sort of bug.

I have never compared this bulb with others. We had a bird that was loosing feathers and they were not really comming back. This bulb helped our bird and now things are great. Light it on her cage daily for at least 8 hours. The reason I picked this bulb is that it is for birds. Some are made for a terriums

Yes, although I'm not sure of the effectiveness in the day, as it lures the bugs with a black light.

Bulbs are a dark Blue/Black. They appear Blue when in use to attract insects.

Absolutely! The smaller the insect, the more likely it is to get trapped. They kind of just get sucked in my the fan. Larger insects are attracted to the light. I plugged mine in for the first time this year, and I had to empty it within the first 48 hours, which is really fast. It was completely full - Bugs on the inside and beatles in the water along the outside. BEST TRAP I'VE EVER HAD!

It works primarily on Mosquitos. A few other things like moths are attracted to the light but no wasps or bees.
