Contrary to some of the reports seen here, some bug zappers do work.
If you doubt that, stop by my house some morning and I will show you the
pile of carcasses from the previous evening.  In the spring when the
little beetles first hatch, I've been known to have 2-3 inch piles generated
overnight.

Problems:  They only work when the light from the zapper is brighter (in the
UV span) than the sun or other nearby lights.  This means that daytime bugs
like mesquitos, houseflys, etc., aren't particularly affected by them.
