Is there a 'standard' Esperanto word for "bug zapper" (the lamp that attracts and electrocutes flying insects)? I have tried searching in several places, using several other languages, and I have not been able to find a word for it anywhere.

If you are not aware of a 'dictionary word' for it, what word would you create if you had to call it something?

Thanks for any information/suggestions!

I don't know if there's a common word for it, but how about muŝmortigilo? Or sencimigilo?

Since it's a sort of lamp (though for killing bugs and not giving off light), "muŝlampo" might be another option.

Portuguese has “electrocutador de insectos” for “bug zapper”, so maybe something like insektelektrokutilo.
