Pestrol Insectomatic

The Pestrol Insectomator is a sticky board fly trap designed for use where the electrocution of insects is undesirable. The unit is only suitable for mounting on a wall. Once installed these units should only be swied off for maintenance and cleaning.

To attract insects, a very special type of fluorescent lamp is used. The insect attractant lamp emits Ultra Violet light at a wwavelength of 357 nanometres, which is particularly attractive to most flying insects. This UV light is invisble only to human eyes, but these lamps also emit a greenish light visible to humans, which has been found to significantly enhance the response of insects to U light. The lamps cease to emit UV light at sufficiently high levels to be effective, after approximately 12 months of use (the lamps must be changed every year) even though they still glow green, for this light alone is not effective at attracting insects.

AREAS OF USE

Intended for use in all food preparation and manufacturing areas where the prescence of flying insects is a hygenie hazard.

This unit is for indoor use only.

This unit is not suitable for use in barns, stables or similar locations, if the unit will be exposed to the weather.

The unit should be sited, wherever possible, at 90 degrees to the major light source, e.g. largest window. Avoid sitting too high, ideally the unit should be sited with the base as near to 2m from the floor as possible.

The unit must not be sited so that the light source is obscured; if flying insects can not see it, the unit will not be fully effective.

The unit should not be sited above a food preparation surface, as the intention of the unit is to attract insects away from such areas.
