WHAT IS A GLUE BOARD FLY KILLER?
Glue Board Fly Killers are designed to be discreet in their function of trapping flying insects. Similar to Fly Zappers, they use UV light to attract flying insects to the unit where the insect is then caught on a sticky glue board. They are silent in operation making them ideal for sensitive areas such as hotel lobbies, restaurant dining areas and other commercial front of house areas. Glue Board Fly Killers that are designed to be indistinguishable from wall lights. They are effective against all flying insects including flies, fruit flies and moths.
Whilst both types of units are very effective in flying insect control, Glue Board type units are recommended in food preparation areas instead of fly zapper units. The main reason for this is that, as a result of research and legislation, it has been found that insect debris can travel outside the fly zapper unit and could lead to food contamination. This can occur when the fly is electrocuted (or zapped) and particles can be exploded outside the unit resulting in food contamination. It can also occur if a wind or breeze blows dead flies or body parts out of the catch tray at the base of the unit.
