Types of ILT:Overview

Type Features Advantages Main Disadvantages

Typical applications

FLYING INSECT KILLERHigh Voltage Grid unit

High voltage grid that “zaps”

Good to areas with high levels of activity

Unsuitable for areas involving food as insect fragments can be sent

airborne.

Noisy and off putting for public areas

Warehousing and outdoor areas with

high insect populations, refuse

areas

FLYING INSECT CATCHER

Control Board Unit

Captures flying insects “whole” on a sticky

control board

Ideal for any applications where

food safety is important.

Catch method is silent for discretion

In areas of extremely high insect activity

units with small control boards

Back of House units for Kitchens, food factories, food

preparation areas, food packaging

Front of house units for Café and restaurant

seating areas.

Jet Proof UnitInsect Killer or Catcher

IP rated units that are suitable for difficult

and demanding environments

Can be used in damp, wet, wash-down and

dusty areas

See above depending on whether HV grid or

Control BoardFish and meat

processing factories

Types of ILTs:High Voltage Units• Flies are killed by being electrocuted on

charged grids

• Insects fall into a catch tray, however fragments of insects can become airborne

• Avoid electrocutor traps in areas where food is served or prepared

• High voltage traps best used in warehouse situations or other sites where heavy flying insect activity is expected.

Electrocutors fragment insects and can contaminate food

Types of ILTs:Control board traps• Insects are captured “whole” on an adhesive control

board

• “Whole capture” reduces the potential for insect fragments to enter the atmosphere and food chain and offer the potential for flying insect identification and monitoring capability

• They provide silent catch (No Zapping) in customer areas

• Control boards require regular replacement

• Traps with low capacity (small catch area) should be avoided, particularly in areas of high insect activity

Types of ILTsControl board traps

• Jet Proof Units

• Either in High voltage or control board format.

• Used for wet, damp or wash down areas

• Always use with safety tubes
