In my experience... kind of. Light isn't the only thing they're attracted to so you'd have to optimize distance and cover different variables for different bugs

One fun thing you can do is relocate small swarms of bugs with a torch to another light source. So if you're being pestered, turn on a torch... and slowly walk the bugs to a different light source (a distant lamp for example). Then turn off the torch and walk back to where you were. The light will keep them there.
- Simon_ORourke 3y agoWould or could that be automated? We are hounded from late spring to the fall by all kinds of flying nasties at our front porch. Some led string that moved them all away would be awesome!
- lawlessone 3y agoHow about a light on a rail? we could race them around a track taking bets.
- micromacrofoot 3y agowould be interesting to try, it's easy to walk over because you can watch the swarm but if you've got a slow moving light on a string I could imagine it working a bug zapper is a lot easier
