Basic Knowledge of Pest Control and Useful Technical Know-How, Part 5

We introduce "installation locations for insect traps" and "characteristic insect traps"!

The activity of flying insects such as fruit flies varies by month, so it is important to conduct monthly habitat surveys to understand the trends in their occurrence. For the survey, it is convenient to use a device equipped with a light source that emits ultraviolet light at wavelengths that attract flies, known as an "insect trap," along with sticky paper to capture the flies. However, even though it is simply referred to as an insect trap, the performance can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer and model. This document explains why flies are attracted to insect traps, the effective installation positions for insect traps, and the differences between various insect traps, so we hope it will help you determine which model is suitable for your facility. [Contents (partial)] ■ What is an insect trap? ■ Why are flies attracted to "fluorescent lights"? ■ Why are flies captured by insect traps? ■ UV lamps are designed to efficiently attract flies. ■ A higher total wattage of UV lamps results in better attraction performance. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
