Effect of infra red rays on mosquito bes bug & flies

[rajaram04]

Hello sir
i want to know about the effect of infra red rays over house flies mosquito etc etc

Are they come close to that or try to leave the area of effect ?

Many insects are attracted to IR sources because the insects use it to detect a warm body for food, egg-laying hosts, etc. Mosquitoes and bed bugs included. Even some mammals use similar methods to detect prey.

Are you tying to use IR to trap the little buzzers? I think it's probably been tried before because it's quite well known. I guess that the wavelength might be important.

yeak it is well known but i am starting over it from the point where all stopped . . thats why collecting all information first

what about importance of wavelenght you are talking about ? would you please elaborate ?

You'll need to do some research yourself... I know that there is existing research and some papers on the subject.

IR covers a broad spectrum and insects will be able to detect a certain range within that, in order to detect a valid target.

hmm that also correct i ll proceed , well thanks

so do you have any idea that are they able to see infra red rays from simple IR LED ??? or from a remote control unit ??

any short idea
