Apart from the odd gnat or fly that gets stuck (and killed as a result) I’ve never had a problems with it.

I presume this is the bulb that does three loops up from the base. I have found that they kill moths (and other insects) that get to the junction of the tubes and base. It is not that they get trapped as some say. I suspect it is that they are not fully shielded against hazardous UV. I have been trying a 160 watt black light recently (this is a blended MV bulb with a Wood’s Glass envelope). I also use UV and blue light safety specs. They do not seem to attract micros as well as more balanced light but they are OK for the noctuids.
