Effective, discreet, and elegant. Our insect trap lamp is the perfect pest control solution for restaurants, bars, kitchens, food processing plants, and commercial facilities. It stands apart from other models thanks to its clean, sophisticated design and innovative, lightweight silver structure. This trap is the ideal answer to eliminating the nuisance of flying insects such as flies, gnats, mosquitoes, wasps, and pantry moths.
Unlike outdated insect traps, our unit features a hidden adhesive strip on the back, invisible from the outside. This design allows for high capture rates while keeping trapped insects out of sight from customers and guests—maintaining a clean, professional appearance at all times.
The trap is equipped with 3 x 15W UV neon tubes and measures 588 x 404 x 118 mm. It is certified by independent bodies and complies with RoHS standards and current European legislation.
Why Our Insect Trap Lamp Works So Well
The effectiveness of this UV light trap depends on three key factors:
- Sufficient lamp power—calculated based on the size of the area being monitored
- Correct placement—positioned away from competing light sources and at the right height
- Regular operation—ensuring all three neon tubes are functioning properly
Installation & Maintenance
This UV insect trap can be installed in both indoor and covered outdoor environments in just a few minutes. It can be wall-mounted, placed on a flat surface, or suspended from the ceiling. The front-opening design allows for quick neon tube replacement, while the two side entry points make changing the adhesive strip simple and fast.
Ideal Placement Tips
- Mount at a height of 1.5–2 meters (5–6.5 feet) for optimal attraction
- Avoid placing near windows or doors where natural light competes
- Keep away from food preparation surfaces to prevent contamination
- Replace neon tubes annually for consistent UV output
Pest Monitoring & HACCP Compliance
Italian Law 155/97 requires the implementation of the HACCP system in food-related businesses. Among the duties of the operator is monitoring potential infestations caused by any type of pest, including flying insects. Our UV trap serves as an excellent monitoring station for this purpose.
To help you meet these obligations, our company provides a dedicated service: meticulous tracking of insect presence. The data (number of specimens captured) is recorded on a specialized table and sent via email from our technical office or delivered in person by one of our operators.
Monitoring Benefits
- Early detection of infestations before they become severe
- Documented proof of pest control efforts for audits
- Reduced reliance on chemical sprays
- Improved hygiene ratings and customer confidence

FAQ
1. How often should I replace the adhesive strip?
Replace the adhesive strip every 4–6 weeks, or sooner if it becomes visibly full of insects. The side entry design makes replacement quick and mess-free.
2. Are UV insect traps safe around food?
Yes, our trap is designed for use in commercial kitchens and food processing areas. The adhesive strip is enclosed, and the UV light does not emit ozone or harmful chemicals. Always follow placement guidelines to avoid contamination.
3. Can this trap be used outdoors?
It can be used in covered outdoor areas such as patios, verandas, and sheltered entryways. For full outdoor exposure, consider weatherproof models or additional protection.
4. How many traps do I need for my facility?
As a general rule, one trap covers approximately 50–80 square meters (540–860 square feet). For larger spaces or high-infestation areas, multiple units may be required. Contact our technical office for a personalized assessment.
5. Do the UV neon tubes need regular replacement?
Yes, UV output degrades over time. Replace neon tubes every 12 months to maintain peak attraction efficiency. The front-opening design allows for easy bulb changes without tools.
