Insectron® Insect Traps
The UV-free Insectron® light traps are designed for controlling and monitoring flying insects. Thanks to the special light sources, the trap can also be used in UV light-sensitive areas.
Please note: the earlier versions of the Insectron® insect traps can be retrofitted with the new LED tubes. The LED light sources easily replace this previous fluorescent tubes, are more eco-friendly, energy-efficient and therefore more economic.
Function
Flying insects are attracted by the UV-free light sources and stick to the adhesive-coated trapping surface. This non-destructive trapping method makes it easy to identify and quantify the insects, allowing user-friendly and professional monitoring.
The Insectron® insect traps impress with their high efficiency and straightforward handling. The devices run silently, produce no unpleasant odors and work without the use of chemicals. These features make the traps an economical and environmentally friendly tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
The Insectron® product range is an excellent addition to other traps such as L-Trap, M-Trap and S-Trap.
Maintenance
Glue boards should be replaced after approximately 2 to 3 months of use, if used for a longer period of time the adhesive strength will be reduced drastically.
Illuminants should be replaced if they are defective or if fewer insects are attracted:
- After approx. 2,000 burning hours (= 3 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 7 %.
- After approx. 4,000 burning hours (= 6 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 15 %.
- After approx. 6,000 burning hours (= 9 months of continuous operation): decrease in attraction approx. 30 %.
When a burning time of 6,000 hours has been reached, illuminants should be replaced in any case.
