The core function of ultraviolet germicidal lamps is to destroy the DNA/RNA structure of microorganisms, preventing the reproduction of single-celled microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, leading to their death.
However, bed bugs are multicellular arthropods, much larger than microorganisms (adults are 4-5mm long and have a hard exoskeleton), so ultraviolet light has significant limitations on their effectiveness.
