How Commercial Electric Fly Killers Work
These clever gadgets work through a two-step process that's brilliantly effective. Special UV bulbs emit light at a wavelength irresistible to flies and flying insects, luring them towards the unit. Once attracted, insects meet one of two fates—either contact with a high-voltage electric grid that instantly zaps them, or they're trapped on a sticky glue board. The remains either fall into a collection tray or stay fixed to the board, keeping your preparation areas completely free from contamination. Most professional models operate 24/7, silently protecting your food business round the clock, with effective coverage ranging from 40m² to 200m² depending on the model's power.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Electric Fly Killers
For maximum effectiveness, position your fly killer away from windows but near entry points—this catches insects before they reach food areas. Replace UV tubes annually even if they still illuminate, as their insect-attracting wavelength diminishes over time. Clean collection trays weekly during summer months, and consider glue board models for kitchen areas where electric grids might not be ideal. Pair with fly screens on windows and doors for a comprehensive pest management approach that meets health inspector standards.
