Using mosquito bats and insecticides at the same time can cause explosion

Recently, officers and firefighters in Shanghai's Jianghai Squad, China conducted an experiment to check the safety of killing mosquitoes with electric batons and insect sprays at the same time.

There is the fact that many families are currently adopting a common formula to kill mosquitoes: insecticidal electric racquets. However, you need to know that if you use these two tools at the same time, the risk of explosion will be very high!

Recently, officers and firefighters in Shanghai's Jianghai Squad, China conducted an experiment to check the safety of killing mosquitoes with electric batons and insect sprays at the same time. The results showed that, when spraying insecticides on mosquito bats that had electricity turned on, suddenly a fire came out.

When spraying insecticides on mosquito bats has been turned on, there is a sudden fire.

Explaining the phenomenon, a researcher at the Yue Academy of Science named Yue Tianyou said: 'Any insecticide, contains pyrethrins. This type of substance has the ability to cause high fire and explosion when exposed to the fire '. And he also explained that, after starting the power source at the mosquito racket, the metal mesh will immediately create a voltage flow of up to 3000V. In such a high voltage state, a certain intensity of sparks will be generated. And when using both methods to kill mosquitoes, electric racquets will be an effective fire, causing pyrethrins in insecticides to 'promote' all their abilities, and create a fire.

In addition to this extremely dangerous reaction, Zhangwan Min, a senior firefighter in Henan Province, said: "Not only insecticides, but detergents also contain chemical ingredients. 'sensitive to the fire '. The man also specifically reminded that some poor quality electric mosquito products, can still contain electricity even when the power switch is turned off. Therefore, people should carefully check this mosquito removal tool when not in use, to avoid unfortunate consequences.

Any insecticide contains a flammable substance.

Some expert advice to kill mosquitoes properly:

  • While the electric mosquito rack is on, do not touch the surface or metal conductor to avoid electric shock. Due to its instantaneous flow of up to 3000V, the safe voltage of the human body is below 36V.
  • Do not touch the net or a conductive metal bar in the state where the power is turned off, as electricity may accumulate between the two metal meshes.
  • Do not use mosquito bats in areas with gases, flammable liquids (insecticides, detergents, etc.).
  • If there are still dead mosquitoes on the surface of the grid, it is best to shake them so that they fall out or clean with a brush. Do not wash with water to prevent short circuits.
  • When charging an electric mosquito racket, the surface of the net will appear to have a high voltage flow, so absolutely no contact is allowed.
  • Charging time must not exceed 15 hours.
  • When the grid of mosquito bats is damaged or deformed, it should not continue to be used.
  • Electric mosquito bats contain dangers that we cannot anticipate, so it is best to keep out of reach of children.
  • In areas where fire is often present as a kitchen, do not use flammable substances such as insecticides, toilet water and detergents.
