What it is?

A single fly that has flown into the room is easy to destroy. She can be killed with a hand cracker or even a rolled-up newspaper.

It is also important to patch up cracks if they are flyways or use some other means.

Getting rid of flies that have flown into industrial premises, grocery shops or warehouses is more difficult. You cannot kill uninvited guests with a clapperboard, and you cannot use poisons in such rooms. In this case, it is necessary to use special insecticidal equipment. A fly lamp can be a suitable helper.

For humans, it is completely harmless, you can calmly look at it without risking damaging your eyes, but it kills insects.

The design of the lamp is very simple:

• a light emitting source is located inside;
• the outside of the lamp is covered with a protective mesh;
• behind the net there is a sticky trap to which insects stick;
• behind the trap there is a special system with high voltage, in contact with which the flies die;
• there is a tray at the bottom of the lamp, in which dead insects are collected.

The maintenance of the device consists in the periodic cleaning of the pallet.
