There are various types of fly traps used in the control and elimination of nuisance house flies, fruit flies or other flying pests. Pheromone traps use sexual attractants to lure flies to sticky pads or into a liquid trap. Older models of light traps incorporated standard light bulbs. The older type of lighted fly trap does attract insects but not as well as traps that use ultraviolet lights. Many insects are attracted to ultraviolet but the main use of this type of trap is in fly control. Ultraviolet rays emitted by professional traps are not harmful to people or pets. These traps are more desirable than sprays for indoor fly control, as discussed in Safe Fly Control.
The power or effective range of an ultraviolet fly trap is determined by the power or wattage of the bulbs, the number of bulbs and (most importantly) the physical configuration of the trap. Low profile traps used in dining areas of restaurants and homes normally do not emit the same amount of UV rays as professional traps used in food preparation areas, receiving areas and warehouses. Our line of ultraviolet fly traps are designed for optimum coverage, resulting in more powerful traps for better fly control.
For front end units (those fly traps to be placed in public areas) use the Luralite Professional Fly Trap or the Satalite Professional Fly Trap. For fly infested areas where the public will not see your traps, use a Flytrap Professional. The Flytrap Professional lures and catches flies over a larger area. The Luralite and the Satalite fly traps are lower profile or look better to your customers without sacrificing too much fly attracting power.

There are two basic types of ultraviolet insect traps: those that electrocute bugs and those that capture bugs on replaceable sticky pads or glue traps. Our capture pads are impregnated with a pheromone that helps attract those difficult to control nuisance flies.

Ultraviolet Lighted Fly Traps

Commercial Ultraviolet Fly Zappers

Ultraviolet Lighted Fly Traps

Flies (and other bugs) find these ultraviolet rays irresistible. Our lighted insect traps incorporate pheromones and ultraviolet to capture nuisance flies. For most residential and business applications, fly zappers (traps which electrocute bugs) should not be used. In food handling areas of restaurants or food processing plants, insect body parts might fall into food if fly zappers are used. For those areas where a heavy-duty fly zapper unit is needed (in non-food areas) use on of our commercial flying insect zappers. Most flies are attracted to this UV light but there are certain flies (such as the vinegar fly) that are not. The pheromones in our capture pads will lure flies that might not be attracted to ultraviolet. By using ultraviolet and pheromones, you greatly increase your chances of killing the pests in any given area.
Your choice of three designs to choose from:

Luralite Professional Satalite Professional Flytrap Professional

Luralite Professional

Use the Luralite Professional fly trap in high traffic areas where low profile characteristics are important. This unit combines professional insect control with stylish looks. Insects are lured by the combination of Ultraviolet light and a pheromone impregnated glue trap. Most "up lights" of this type are not as effective as the Luralite Professional as they lose most of their effectiveness through exterior design.

This unit uses reflective back plates that ensure your UV light is not directed onto the wall, degrading any color or pattern. The powerful pheromone and ultraviolet light combination attracts flies over a 540 square foot area. In a restaurant, you will need two fly traps to cover a 1,000 square foot dining area. Use Fly Trap Professional in kitchen and receiving areas, Luralite Professional in dining areas. For smaller areas such as residential kitchens, hallways of restaurants or other applications where discreet fly control is needed but where high powered lights are not necessary, use one or more Cento Luralite traps.

Insectaflash and Insect-A-Kill Units

Insectaflash units are being phased out and replaced with Insect-A-Kill ultraviolet fly zappers. At this time, the Insectaflash 50 watt unit has been replaced with the new design Insect-A-Kill 40 watt unit. The new design allows for greater coverage (2,000 square feet) than older unit (which only covered up to 1,300 square feet) while using less resources. In other words, the new 40 watt unit is better than the old 50 watt unit!
