Do bug zappers work on moths?

Sort of is the best short answer. I have some wasps that are able to crawl in and OUT of the plastic yellow hanging traps that are commonly sold. (yes, i have watched them).

So i opened up my bug zapper (the kind with the UV light), put a small screw through the plastic housing to hold a piece of cotton inside the grid, next to the light, yet not touching either. Then i soaked the cotton with the liquid wasp attractant refill sold for the plastic traps. I have gotten about 10 in the last day which is about all i ever see at one time. Unfortunately some get zapped and don't die but they are immobilized. I don't think the UV light helps but i need mine in place so the grid will work, otherwise i would hang a BBQ spare rib in its place because the wasps seem to love whatever is on my plate better than anything. My zapper is a Stinger 1 acre, i am not sure if one can modify other brands this way.

Another solution if possible is making the area less attractive. They like bright colors & have a keen sense of smell. Can something be done about either? If they are yellowjackets-the ground is the source & easy to find them.
