You ask, we answer: Do all fly traps of identical lamp wattage have the same fly control efficiency?

pestwest2017-11-14T12:34:58+00:00There are now many choices out there in the marketplace and sometimes it can make choosing the right trap for a given situation more difficult. Sometimes pest controllers and users may think that they just need for example a 30 watt fly trap for a normal situation, such as in a kitchen or restaurant. There are however differences between brands and models, and the efficacy of a trap in terms of catching flying insects and the efficiency of the trap in terms of electrical consumption are often overlooked. When installing electronic fly traps in greater numbers, the electrical efficiency of the traps should not be ignored because the savings to the end user can be quite considerable. We only have to look at general lighting to see how LED’s (Light Emitting Diodes) have totally taken over the market in such a very short period of time, which is 100% driven by energy savings.
