Product Information

It is important to know repelling and deterring pests are short term quick solution; however these methods do not resolve the root cause of these recurring pests. All UV wavelengths are the standard 365nm that mosquitos and other flying bugs can’t seem to resist. It could be because UV rays naturally occur in sunlight, which the insects associate with food and safety.

One of the reasons people still laugh at this is because everyone can relate to it, but it doesn’t seem that funny when you’re being pestered by an annoying fly that it seems impossible to swat! For example, a light source that emits lower than 250 flashes per second will look like mere flickers to flies. The black plastic body of this lantern-shaped unit is durable and easy to wipe down, and the safety bars all around it are spaced safely and closely together. After counting 10 measured numbers of dead flies from the test site in the graduated cylinder, it was determined that 1 ml was equivalent to 20 flies. Thankfully, honey bees are not attracted to light, nor do they roam around in the evenings, when bug zappers are most effective.

In the past, I have tried using fly screens for windows as well as the chainlink screens that hang over doors. Very effective in catching mosquitoes and other small flying creatures including: moths guava moth codling moth aphids sand flies. Our door screens are made of a quality anodised aluminium, meaning they’re rust-proof and long-lasting.Glueboard Fly Killers again use UV light to attract flying insects to the unit where the insect is then caught on a sticky glueboard. The idea of chasing a fly with a rolled-up newspaper and being led on a merry chase around your home is one that’s been mined for comedy gold for decades.
