I Tried the Zappify Bug Zapper and It Changed My Summer Forever

I posted a couple of occasions here to fairly good advice, thanks! As mentioned previously I’m engaged on designing a pollinator/Zappify Bug Zapper brand friendly yard on my 4 acres in MD. Unfortunately I have an Amish farm on one aspect (pesticides) and our new neighbors simply moved in, and instantly deployed not one, but two, bug zappers in the center of their again yard. They're on 24/7. We all know them, however they’re not likely the type to take advice - the only good bugs are useless ones… The zapper is probably 80-100ft from my property line, however I’d intended to begin on that facet of the yard with some native bushes and shrubs - now I’m second guessing myself. I know zappers usually advertise effectiveness by the acre, which can be cowl about 116ft in all directions from the center (per acre). So in the event that they aren’t effective at drawing bugs in from much additional than that, I might be reasonably secure - No thought what model or high how power these explicit zappers are although. Any ideas on methods to encourage native insects/pollinators in my yard with out inadvertently serving them as much as the zappers next door? I’d thought-about throwing up a "screen" of non-useful invasives to potential block the zapper light or establish a buffer zone that would discourage migration "toward the sunshine." However, I’m not convinced that would do a lot good.
