From the perspective of electrical safety, the Coospider equipment complies with international standards for continuous operation at night. Its built-in temperature sensor (with an accuracy of ±1.5℃) can monitor the working status of the circuit board in real time. When the internal temperature exceeds the 65℃ threshold, it will automatically activate the power-off protection. The test data of the UL 283 certification in the United States shows (Report number E478192 in 2023) that after the equipment has been continuously operating at an ambient temperature of 25℃ for 480 hours, the temperature rise curve of the key electronic components is stable, and the peak temperature only reaches 58℃ (safety limit 85℃). The compatibility report of the EU LVD Directive (2014/35/EU) confirms that its insulation impedance value is always maintained above 12MΩ (the standard requirement is >2MΩ), and it can still ensure safety within a voltage fluctuation range of ±10%.
There is a significant correlation between the efficiency of pest control and the operating duration. According to the 2024 field monitoring data of the Florida Mosquito Control Association, during the 11-hour night operation from 19:00 to 6:00 the next day, the mosquito catch accounted for 92% of the total daily catch (sample size n=350, standard deviation σ=7.2). Especially in the summer night environment with a temperature of 25-30℃ and a humidity of 70-85%, the catch can reach a peak of 45 per hour from 0:00 to 3:00 a.m. (the catch under the same conditions during the day is only 3 per hour). However, continuous operation requires matching the capacity of the collection box. A standard 0.6L collection box can only hold about 800 mosquito carcasses in the high-incidence areas of dengue fever in Southeast Asia (mosquito density index >15%). Exceeding this limit may cause a 15% decline in the killing efficiency.
Energy consumption and economy constitute the elements of users’ decision-making. The mainstream 15W model consumes 0.15 kilowatt-hours of electricity during 10 hours of all-night operation (with a single-night cost of 0.027 US dollars based on the residential electricity price of 0.18 US dollars per kilowatt-hour), and the annual additional electricity cost is approximately 9.86 US dollars. Compared with chemical control plans, the 2023 Home Pest Management Cost Report released by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indicates that the monthly cost of using pyrethroid spray for pest control is approximately $16 (with an annual budget of $192), and there is a gap period for night-time protection. The UV-LED light source of the Coospider device has a lifespan of 10,000 hours. With continuous all-night use (3,650 hours per year), it can last for approximately 2.7 years, and the marginal cost is significantly reduced.
Risk avoidance strategies in special circumstances are indispensable. In flammable environments such as livestock and poultry farms, the NFPA 70 specification of the National Fire Protection Association of the United States requires that equipment maintain a minimum distance of 1.2 meters from combustibles. When used outdoors, it is necessary to pay attention to the IP rating limit: The basic model IP65 protection can only withstand moderate rain with a rainfall of less than 8.1 millimeters per hour. In case of typhoon weather (rainfall intensity >50 millimeters per hour), continuous operation may cause a 0.3% probability of circuit short circuit risk. In the food processing area, the HACCP management system requires that the collection boxes be cleaned every 24 hours to prevent cross-contamination (the rate of bacterial growth from insect carcasses reaching 10⁵ CFU/g·h), but for some models equipped with sealed insect traps (with an odor leakage rate of less than 0.01%), the cleaning time can be extended to 72 hours.
Intelligent systems have a significant effect on enhancing the efficiency of long-term operation. The Pro series is equipped with an AI algorithm that can identify the peak period of mosquito activity (usually within ±45 minutes of local sunset time) and automatically switch to a 5W energy-saving mode during off-peak hours (saving 67% of electricity compared to full power). The Ministry of Health of Malaysia’s 2025 Smart Device Assessment Project confirmed that after continuous operation in medical institutions for 12 months, the failure rate of such devices was only 0.1% (3.2% for traditional models), and the frequency of cleaning and maintenance was reduced from three times a week to once a week. Simulations from the Department of Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore show that on the Bug Zapper Lamp model equipped with a temperature-adaptive fan (with a rotational speed range of 800-2000RPM), the lifespan of electronic components is extended by 23% under overnight operation conditions.
Best practice cases in specific scenarios provide empirical evidence. The resort cluster in Chiang Mai, Thailand, deployed 83 devices to implement a 24-hour operation strategy during the 2024 peak tourist season (with an average temperature of 29℃). Data collected shows that the capture contribution rate of Anopmosquitoes during the early morning period (2:00-5:00) reached 41%, and the intermittent operation during the day led to a 37% year-on-year decrease in the regional malaria infection rate. In the family environment, a survey of residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area (with a sample size of 2,000 households) indicated that after installing equipment in children’s rooms and keeping them on throughout the night, the median reduction in the frequency of mosquito bite incidents was 0.3 times per night (2.1 times in the control group), and the sleep quality index increased by 28 percentage points. These data confirm the feasibility of overnight operation under scientific configuration.
