If bug zappers could truly kill significant numbers of moths, how come
no one uses them in the home fruit and vegetable garden to control
common moth pests? 

How come they do no good in commercial greenhouses against
moth and other insect pests?

How come even indoors, bug zappers cannot control any pest moth like the
indian meal moth? 

I think we may be dealing with alot of fanciful imagining.
