Fly Light Traps

Glue Based Fly Light Traps

There are typically two types of light traps that are made available to the public. Initially, UV fly light traps were zap traps that made use of a UV light source and electric currents to attract and eliminate flies. However, something that was unacceptable to the health department, particularly in food processing plants or restaurants, were the airborne carcass parts that have a chance of falling into foods. Therefore, the use of glue boards became popular and a glue board based UV fly light trap was manufactured to facilitate areas that may involve processing and serving food.

Pest Mall knows and understands that glue based UV light traps are the most effective for fly control in both large and small areas. Not only do the fly lights that are provided here cover a large area, but glue boards are especially effective in attracting flies. Flies are attracted to UV lights, but they are also meant to reproduce. Many of the glue boards that are manufactured in the market now are made with natural pheromone attractants. These pheromone attractants can actually reach areas that the light cannot. Therefore, using a pheromone based glue trap in conjunction with a UV light make these traps irresistible to the flies that are contaminating areas in your home and restaurant.

Fly Light Trap Designs

Although fly lights are highly effective in attracting and trapping flies, most people will agree that the collection of flies and various build up on the glue boards are offensive. There is no way a customer would enjoy the sight of a board full of dead insects in a dining hall or a hotel lobby. Another problem that many business owners may experience is that a small fly light trap may only cover a limited area and are reluctant to purchase more than one trap. Pest Mall carries a variety of heavy duty traps that covers larger areas that can be made useful in warehouses or food processing plants. Also fly lights with a sleek design are available that are just as effective but will completely hide the unnecessary sight of dead bugs. Whatever the special needs of your facility are, there is a trap that will properly target all areas of your business or home.

Insect light traps are the most effective when they are properly placed and may not eradicate an entire infestation. For detailed guidance in where and how to use a fly light, call to talk to a Pest Mall technician at 1-800-788-4142.
