How to install indoor electric fly killer lamp (bug zapper )?

Installation Precautions of wall mounted mosquito fly killer lamp:

1. Firstly the installation height is important in terms of efficiency. As a general rule the higher up they are the less effective. In a working environment, the ideal height would be between two and two and a half meters from the ground. At this height, the risk being damaged by moving trolleys or forklift trucks is reduced whilst maintaining maximum efficiency. They will also be easier to clean and maintain.

2. The ideal location is at right angles to the major light source in the room.

3. the must not be sited so that the light source is obscured (if flying insects cannot see it the unit will not be very effective).

4. The site between potential entry points and production areas to intercept pests before they reach sensitive areas.

5. Different insect killer lamp has different covering area. There are several factors that need to be considered before deciding on the appropriate number and size of units to be installed.

These would include the number of entry points including doors, windows and any other openings for instance for pipework or extractor fans.

What is the volume of human traffic through the area to be protected? What would be the normal flying insect population?

What is being produced?

And where is the facility located?

If it is close to a lake or a rubbish tip then there will be a greater risk than if the facility is in the middle of an industrial estate.

6. The insect killer light should not be installed in areas where they can be affected by air currents. Avoid areas close to air conditioning vents or where draught may be a problem. This is because flying insects, on the whole, do not like moving air and units placed in these areas may be less efficient.

Never ever install units directly above a processing line or food preparation area. The Ultra Violet lamps are highly attractive to flying insects and will attract insects to those areas. Better to install the units away from sensitive areas to attract the insects and kill them away from the critical areas to be protected.

7. Don’t forget to change the lamps every 6 /12 months – preferably just before the start of the fly season.
