The onset of summer time brings a plethora of actions, including backyard cookouts. But in addition with summer season comes an onslaught of pests such as flies and mosquitoes. Perhaps nothing ruins an out of doors barbecue greater than the annoying presence of uninvited friends of the bug variety. To battle these winged-nuisances, many people have put in or use an electrocuting insect entice or bug zapper. While the scorching "zzzap" of the fly being fried -- or any other unfortunate insect lured to its jolting demise by this shocking siren -- could also be music to the host's ears, the fly may finally have the final chuckle -- especially if the gadgets are used round meals dealing with areas. According to a group of researchers at Kansas State University, that sound may sign the potential for a shower of microorganisms including viruses cascading onto the surrounding space. Due to the airborne bacteria and virus-laden particles produced by the explosion of those electrocuted insects, the researchers suggest they not be utilized in meals dealing with areas, hospitals, daycare facilities or any variety of places the place the management of insects is vital.
