Yellow Bug Lights, Do You Think They Really Work?

[SeaBreeze]

The bulb on my porch light just blew, it was a yellow 'bug' light. I replaced it with a white one, since it's nearing winter, and I'm not concerned about insects. Even in summer though, I still get mosquitos, moths, etc., hanging around my outside lights, so the yellow bug lights have not impressed me.

Do you use them, do you think they work?

It might be that they attract fewer flying insects, but hey, what do I know. Maybe red and green bulbs would work better...humbug!

Back when I used to use them I never noticed a difference. I know it's supposed to be something about the wavelength of light that bugs can see, but I'm not sure how it actually works.

Well, maybe not.
