I don't think you would need to whack the bugs just have the lite close to the water and they will fall in and git et. June bugs especially don't fly well and crash in
I thought of doing this. Put two solar lights on a fence post out in the water...light just above. I figure with how many bugs find my pool, this would attract ghee over/into the pond.
I've thought of this often. My pool used to drown hundreds of bugs every day. Imagine how many a pond, being many times the surface area, plus actually producing bugs that hatch from it, wind up as fish food with no extra effort to bring that about. I'll bet the number eaten as emerging nymphs is just incredible in most ponds.
