3. Types of ILT:
Overview
Type Features Advantages Main
Disadvantages
Typical
applications
FLYING INSECT KILLER
High 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 Unit
Insect 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 Board
Fish and meat
processing factories

4. 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

5. 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

6. Types of ILTs
Control 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

7. Generic applications:
Front of house Vs. Back of house
Areas not in the view of the general
public/customer
• Food preparation areas
• Kitchens
• Food production
• Packaging
• Warehousing areas
Back of house Front of House
Areas in view of the general
