FAQs
1. Why does FLYght look smaller than other electric fly catchers?We have designed FLYght to be compact and fit into spaces unobtrusively. FLYght traps are sleeker and smaller than other brands because Pestroniks engineers have intelligently designed the range to maximize UV illumination in limited space.Size of the light trap has no bearing on the glue board catching area as FLYght uses the Universal Glue Board (UGB) that all other fly catchers use.
2. How long do the UV LEDs in FLYght last?Pestroniks source LEDs from the world’s best manufacturer and assure you of50,000-hour use life of FLYght LEDs with uniform UV output throughout their life.
3. What is the size of FLYght’s glue boards?The size of FLYght’s glue boards is: 418 mm X 283 mm or the same as any UGB.Please note that glue board manufacturers provide two glue boards with perforated edges. You should gently tear them to separate the two rectangular pieces for your use. Further, you should discard the thin (about 20 mm wide) extra strip between the two glue boards as we have no place for it in FLYght.
4. Is FLYght suitable for use in food industry which has glass policies?FLYght is inherently glass-free as we use LEDs and do not have any glass fixtures in our trap.
5. Should we leave the FLYght on throughout the day and night?We have designed FLYght Traps for use 24X7X365 to attract and trap insects during the day or night.
6. Is FLYght wall mounted?Yes, we have designed FLYght for placement where you can find an adequatemounting point.Though you can fix FLYght traps on walls you can also place them on shelves or tabletops. In our studies we have found that FLYght traps perform best in attracting insects when you place them 150 cm. (5 ft.) above ground level.
7. How frequently do you replace the glue boards?Frequency of glue board replacement depends on the condition of the glue board. You should replace it when it is full of flies or once every forty days. We do not recommend a standard frequency for glue board replacement.UV in light traps ‘cures’ the glue on glue boards making them less sticky. Airborne dust and other particles settle on glue boards to further reduce theirstickiness. Glue board manufacturers recommend that you replace the glue boards no later than 40 days in a FLYght UV LED light trap.In a FLYght trap you place the glue boards without facing the UV source reducing the curing effect UV has on the glue board stickiness. The longer period between two changes of glue boards is another benefit of using FLYght.
8. What is the warranty period of the trap?Pestroniks gives a three (3) year warranty on the entire FLYght trap range from date you purchase such traps.
9. What does Pestroniks do in case the unit malfunctions?Pestroniks assists the customer to have a functional trap by first investigatingthe malfunction. After that Pestroniks shall sending the required component or replace the entire unit depending on the issue.
10. How many FLYght units do you have in one box?Pestroniks supplies only one FLYght trap in one box.
11. How many FLYght traps fit into one pallet?Pestroniks supplies sixty (60) FLYght traps on one pallet.
12. How effective is FLYght compared to leading Indian fly catchers?We have extensively tested FLYght with other leading Indian fly catchers thatuse either 15 or 30W UV fluorescent tubes. In our tests, the fly catches of FLYght were either equivalent or slightly higherthan those of the other brands.
13. What are the contents of the FLYght box we have received?Each FLYght box contains 1 FLYght trap, 1 set of two glue boards, 1 power cord, 1 warranty card and 1 User Manual.
14. Is the UV from the trap not harmful?Our trap emits UV-A which scientists have found NOT to be harmful to humans for infrequent exposure.The FLYght traps do not emit any harmful UV. All UV emitted in the FLYght traps is UV-A which scientists consider safe.
15. How do we handle the breakdown maintenance of the trap?We request you to check and make sure that the FLYght trap has a functionalpower connection. If it still does not light up, please contact your distributor who shall arrange a spare or trap replacement in coordination with Pestroniks.
16. Do we need to keep the trap on only during the day?No, we recommend you switch on FLYght 24X7 as the trap attracts and trap insects on its glueboards during the day or night.
17. Where do you install the FLYght traps in a factory?Instal FLYght taps close to all entry points and close to areas in your factory where you see flies congregate.Please make sure that the traps you place near entry points are not visible from outside as you do not want to attract flies inside.When placing FLYght traps make sure there is no other source of UV or visiblelight next to the trap. You can fix the trap on walls at 150 cm. (5 ft.) height above the floor.
18. What is the material of construction of FLYght?FLYght One is made from powder-coated mild steel and FLYght Duo is made from aluminium
19. How do we know that the UV LEDs last for 50,000 hours?Pestroniks sources LEDs from the world’s best manufacturer of such products. All LEDs of that manufacturer whether ordinary ones or UV LEDs last 50000 hours. The UV LED manufacturer have provided us published data that their UV LEDs uniformly generate UV throughout 50,000 operating hours.We have incorporated a patented bioVE technology in the FLYght range and have chosen UV LEDs to complement such feature.
20. Does FLYght attract fruit flies?No, we do not recommend FLYght to monitor fruit flies.Fruit flies have compound eyes that do not have a positive phototactic response to UV like in houseflies. Hence, you will not be able to attract fruit flies in FLYght traps. You should consider using odour attractants to lure and trap fruit flies.
