Electric fly trap: types, principle of operation, precautions. Insecticide Insect Trap Lamp Electric Insect Traps Model

It should be borne in mind that, depending on the conditions of use and the type chosen, one or another insect trap may show how very high efficiency(it will regularly exterminate hundreds of insects), and it may turn out to be absolutely useless. And interestingly, a lot here depends not only on the design of the trap itself and its quality, but also on the person who is trying to use it.

The fact is that each type of trap is focused on fighting a strictly defined group of insects and takes into account their biological characteristics: for example, cockroaches are attracted to certain attractant substances, many flying insects are attracted to ultraviolet light from lamps, bed bugs are attracted to locally increased concentrations of carbon dioxide, and hornets and os beckons the smell of sweet and fermented fruit.

Accordingly, if a person, exhausted, for example, bed bugs, will try to catch them with poisoned bait - such an undertaking will initially be doomed to failure. Similarly, it is pointless to catch cockroaches or ants with electric ultraviolet traps designed to catch flies, mosquitoes and nocturnal moths.

Types of insect traps

Almost all insect traps can be divided into the following several types:

Electric flying insect traps - These devices attract mosquitoes, midges and butterflies with the light of a special lamp (usually soft ultraviolet) and then destroy the victim with an electrical discharge when they approach a metal grid in front of the lamp. Such devices are also popularly called electroshock;
Electric traps for crawling insects - destroy crawling into the structure, for example, cockroaches and ants, with an electric discharge;
Sticky traps that can be used against both crawling and flying insects. Flying animals can be attracted to the adhesive surface by the light of lamps or a chemical;
Traps with poison baits - generally speaking, such structures can be considered traps only very conditionally, since they do not catch insects, but only lure and poison. However, you can buy them in stores under the name of traps for cockroaches (and ants);
And, finally, traps for, so to speak, mechanical collection of insects - their main difference lies in the fact that they do not destroy insects that have fallen into them. At least not right away. Their task is to collect pests, which are then separately destroyed by the person himself. From such traps, due to the peculiarities of their design, insects simply cannot get out. Below we will consider in more detail examples of such devices.

As noted above, traps of each type work well only against a certain range of insects and under certain conditions.

For example:

It is convenient to catch cockroaches, bedbugs and domestic ants in small apartments glue traps placed in places of accumulation and movement of insects. The situation is a little more complicated with bedbugs - if they live in the mattress of the bed, then the traps will not help here, and the tenants will still not be able to sleep normally in such a bed due to constant bites. However, bugs often live next to the bed (on the walls, behind the wallpaper, behind the baseboards, in the crevices of the bedside table) - in this case, it is enough to put the legs of the bed in the center of the glue trap, and then there will be an irresistible obstacle on the way of the bugs to the food source (sleeping person). block;
Diurnal flying insects are easiest to catch with sticky tapes suspended from the ceiling of the room;
Nocturnal insects are easy to catch with light traps (electric traps). The same devices may well work during the day, including against flies and mosquitoes, although slightly less effectively. These flying insect exterminators are often found suspended from the ceiling above fruit and meat displays in supermarkets today;
Woodlice, hornets, wasps, cockroaches and pharaoh ants can be caught using poison bait "traps".

On a note

A classic example of a poisonous "trap" used against cockroaches is balls. Few people know that the poisoning effectiveness of such baits can be significantly increased if, instead of boric acid mix insecticidal preparations with the yolk - for example, Delta Zone, Xulat Micro or Get.

Any insect trap, including electronic ones, can be made with your own hands today - there are plenty of relevant diagrams and descriptions on the Internet. It should be borne in mind that the simpler the principle of operation of such a tool, the usually more efficient and reliable it works.

Lamp traps for flying insects

Insect lamp electric traps are used not only in apartments and houses, but also on summer cottages(gazebos, verandas), as well as on livestock farms and warehouse complexes.

Of the fairly effective electronic insect traps, the following brands are quite popular today:

Well insect traps, produced both for household use and for the protection of large industrial complexes. The principle of operation is classic for such devices - the lamps are surrounded by a grid, to which a high voltage current is supplied. The design is safe for humans: the light of the lamps corresponds sanitary standards, and the metal mesh cannot be reached with your fingers thanks to the protective panel. Buy insect traps Well for domestic use it is possible at a price of about 7,000 rubles, and industrial - about 15,000 rubles;
Insect traps Mo El. As an example, the photo below shows the Mo El ultraviolet trap, which attracts its victims with the light of a lamp and, in addition, has an additional trap in the form of a fan, which sucks insects flying close to the device.
Ves Electric are electric insect traps adapted for home use. Compact, lightweight and relatively inexpensive.

Lamp electric insect traps are suitable for the destruction of mosquitoes, midges, flies, moths, scoop butterflies, horseflies and gadflies. Buy suitable model today it is possible via the Internet, and when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the area that the device will serve.

For those who want to make their own electric insect trap, it is useful to keep in mind that the cost of components can significantly exceed the cost of a commercially produced device.

Sticky tapes against flies

For catching flies (as well as moths), hanging sticky tapes are quite effective. These traps are inexpensive, easy to use and very reliable. You can buy them almost everywhere, while the eminence of the manufacturer does not play a key role here - both Chinese sticky fly tapes and more expensive German-made ones will be effective.

However, a significant disadvantage adhesive tapes is their low aesthetics, which does not allow the use of such traps in restaurants, cafes and various public institutions - you must admit that a tape with dead and still living flies stuck to it will not add appetite to restaurant visitors.

"I'm with my parents summer kitchen I can't go in at all. There, hanging from the ceiling, there are about six sticky tapes of such kind, traps for flies, completely covered with dead insects. So disgusting. I don’t understand why not take them off and hang new ones, if there is no living place on these already ?!

Traps for cockroaches and ants

Almost any traps installed on the floor work more or less effectively against cockroaches and ants - it is only important to choose the right place.

Insecticide "traps" for insects are especially effective. In them, pests are attracted with the help of an odorous edible bait mixed with an insecticidal agent (in the case of homemade baits, this can be, for example, borax or boric acid).

Some of these traps destroy insects according to the principle of a "chain reaction": the cockroach eats the poisoned bait, runs into the nest and dies. It is eaten by others. They also die. They are also eaten, and the chain continues (albeit with a significant fading of the poisoning effect).

Ants also drag the poisoned baits to their anthill, where they poison other members of the colony, including the queen, which is fed by the workers with the food they bring.

Glue traps work well against cockroaches and ants. The same, for example, cockroaches, with a small number of them in an apartment, you can catch absolutely everyone. With ants, the situation is usually more complicated, since only foragers come across, while the queen in the anthill continues to tirelessly replenish.

On a note

To combat cockroaches, so-called houses are produced in which insects are destroyed by electric discharges. These power-operated traps are safe for pets because insects do not crawl out of them with poison in their body (cats can get poisoned if they eat several poisoned cockroaches, especially if the insecticide belongs to the pyrethroid class).

To obtain the maximum effect, traps for cockroaches and ants should be installed in places where insects accumulate and can move: next to the trash can, in the kitchen next to the sink, behind the stove, behind the refrigerator, etc.

Bed bug traps

Meanwhile, in the USA, for example, the Bedbug Beacon, a device consisting of a saucer-shaped trapping chamber, a vessel with carbon dioxide and a connecting hose, has been tested and is already being put into practice. Vapors of carbon dioxide enter the chamber and are gradually released from it, attracting bedbugs (the same CO 2 is emitted with a person's breath). After the bugs are collected in a saucer, they are shaken out of there and destroyed.

So far, such industrial traps for bloodsucking insects are not used in practice in Russia: in fact, bedbugs are almost always destroyed by treating the premises with insecticidal preparations.

On a note

As noted above, bedbugs can also be caught with simple glue traps in the form of drop-down envelopes with a sticky base - you can buy ready-made ones, or you can also make your own from cardboard and insect glue "Alt" or "Kapkan".

It is only important to first make sure that the bugs have not yet had time to establish their nest in the bed. Then the traps placed under the legs of the bed will save your sleep from night bloodsuckers.

How to catch insects in the garden

In vegetable gardens and orchards, the types of insect traps used are the most diverse. So, for example, beetles, bears, wood lice and slugs are caught here with the help of the lower halves of plastic bottles simply dug into the ground. And separately, wood lice can be collected under halves of potato tubers laid out in the garden.

To catch the rapeseed weevil, special traps are used in the form yellow flowers with saucers. Beetles are attracted to them due to the yellow color, which imitates the color of fodder plants. Every day the insects are shaken out of them and destroyed.

Hornets and donkeys are caught using plastic bottles, in which the upper third is cut off, turned upside down and inserted into the lower part. Beer with sugar is also poured there, or water mixed with fermented jam. As a result, insects attracted by the smell fly into the trap, but they can no longer find a way out of it. For reliability, boric acid is sometimes added to beer.

In general, it should be noted that, despite their effectiveness, traps do not allow you to quickly and completely destroy insects in a selected area or in a single room. In cases where an instant effect is needed and there is no time to wait, it is advisable to use aerosol treatment with modern insecticidal preparations, and use traps for the purpose of prevention - to protect the premises from the penetration of single insects.

Here's an excerpt, in case it's useful:
"Practical use of summer insects to light
Sources of artificial light in combination with traps that collect arriving insects (light traps) are used for faunistic collections, studying seasonal and other changes in abundance, obtaining insect biomass as food for other animals, and sometimes also for destroying harmful insects (I.A. Terskov, Η.Γ.Κοlomiets, 1966).
Collections of insects on artificial light, especially with an admixture ultraviolet radiation, make it possible to significantly expand the lists of species composition of insects, however, some nocturnal and twilight species are not attracted by light at all or fly to it very rarely. population ratio different types in collections for the light, of course, says nothing about the real ratio of their numbers in nature. Moreover, these collections cannot be used to judge the real sex ratio in the population. So, in the Moscow region, both males and females of the gypsy moth fly into the world, and in the collections there are twice as many males as females. On the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus, only males of this species fly into the world. To the same extent, it is impossible to judge the physiological state of females from light gathering. Obviously, the absence of females of one or another physiological age in the collections indicates either that they are not yet in nature, or that they still or do not fly into the world at all.
Similarly, the circadian rhythm of arrival into the world gives a highly distorted picture of diurnal activity. Of course, if insects don't fly at all at a given time of day, it's hard to expect them to fly into the light at that time. Nevertheless, simultaneous observations of the level of activity of moth butterflies of different species in cages and during the summer of the same butterflies born into the light shows a negative correlation between the general level of activity and the number of gathering into the light (V.D. Kravchenko, 1981). Most often, insects become active much earlier than their birth years are observed.
In practice, light traps are often used to monitor the number of insects of different species. To what extent is the information obtained in this way consistent with the truth? Of course, there is no strict correspondence between changes in the abundance in nature and the amount of gathering into the light. As evidenced by the comparison of collections of the same species of insects with window traps and light traps, the first appearance of insects in collections in the light can be delayed by 2–3 weeks (M.N. Samkov, 1984). This discrepancy is explained by the fact that in spring and early summer these insects fly earlier in the evening at such high illumination levels that it is still impossible to fly under artificial light.
Mass arrival into the world, most likely, indicates a high number. However, examples are known when mass collections took place only due to migratory insects flying through the area, for example, caradryn butterflies. Laphygma exigua Hb. Both before the mass summer into the world, and after it, the number of caradryna in the given area was almost equal to zero, and the outbreak of mass reproduction occurred a thousand kilometers from the place of observation. A small arrival, moreover, does not indicate a low abundance of the species. The catch per light is determined not only by the number, but also by the physiological state of insects, meteorological and geophysical conditions, and the level of moonlight. All this significantly complicates the interpretation of the results of collecting insects for light. Nevertheless, it is light traps that in many cases turn out to be the most reliable and convenient way to control the number of harmful species, as well as to identify quarantine objects.
A light trap, especially with an air suction device, can pick up kilograms of insects on favorable nights. However, one cannot but agree with G. N. Gornostaev (1984) that recommendations on the use of insects collected from the world for feeding poultry and fish in ponds should be used only during the short mass summer of certain pests, and in general they are not only harmful but also immoral. The use of light traps as a means of extermination turns out to be irrational in most cases, despite the large number of insects caught. On the one hand, light traps, like insecticides, along with harmful ones, destroy a lot of rare and beneficial insects. On the other hand, the percentage of insects attracted by the light is very small compared to the actual number of populations. Often, female insects that have already laid eggs fly into the light. Experiments show that in order to successfully protect the crop on the field, it is necessary to place a significant number of light traps and bring electricity to all. Nevertheless, there are a number of reports on the successful protection of the field, for example, from the tobacco hawk hawk or from the corn borer, about the protection of protected ground plants and champignons in greenhouses. Since the use of light traps is quite expensive and difficult, they can only be recommended for small areas with the most valuable agricultural plants.
Many developed various designs light traps. Most often they are a funnel, located under a lamp, which directs falling insects into a container with a fixing liquid (alcohol, formalin, sometimes gasoline). If it is necessary to keep the insects alive and as little as possible to damage them, use a large container (usually three-liter jar), loosely filled with crumpled strips of paper. From above, the trap is usually covered with a flat or slightly large conical lid that protects from rain. A number of designs also use reflective screens placed radially around the lamp so as to minimize light retention.
For the southern regions, where mass years are common, the so-called Pennsylvania trap seems to be the most practical. The initial parameters of traps of this type, including the domestic ESLU-3, are as follows: funnel diameter 44 cm, light source 15–30 W. In the temperate zone, more stable results are obtained using the SKEL model (light, conical, screened trap) developed by G. N. Gornostaev, with a diameter of at least 60 cm, light sources with an admixture of ultraviolet radiation with a power of at least 200 W. For expeditionary work, the conical trap can be made of polyethylene film on a folding hoop, which greatly facilitates its transportation.
Previously, medical quartz lamps (PRK-2, PRK-4, PRK-8) were successfully used to collect insects in the light; recently, street lighting lamps of the DRL type are used more often, giving softer radiation that does not lead to burns to the observer's eyes. However, to increase the arrival, sometimes the outer glass shell coated with a phosphor is specially broken and, thus, the fraction of ultraviolet radiation is increased.
For faunistic collections and collections, it is expedient to use not traps, which usually spoil the entomological material, but the individual collection of arrived insects on an illuminated screen. The screen should be made of paper or fabric not treated with bleach, as the latter absorbs ultraviolet rays. In this case, it is advisable to hang the lamp at a distance of 50–100 cm from the screen, preferably above the assembler's head. It is advisable to have a headdress that obscures the face from the direct action of the light of the lamp, as well as glass or plastic glasses. It is very inconvenient to work in glasses with dark lenses. However, be aware that reflected light from the screen can also burn your eyes and skin, so it's best to stay a few meters away from the screen and approach it as needed. For eye burns, it is advisable to use albucid and also a strong infusion of tea.

Mankind has been fighting flies that carry various infections on their paws for thousands of years. Many methods have been devised and preparations have been developed for the extermination of this type of insect. The modern market offers a wide range of electric traps, exterminators, powered by a 220 V electrical network and autonomously. In order not to make a mistake when choosing a device against flies and mosquitoes, you should study their technical characteristics.

Fly extermination

Trap for flies and mosquitoes

Currently, a large number of models of devices for combating flying insects in open space and indoors have been released.

Types of traps for flies and mosquitoes:

Exterminators with ultraviolet lamps. They attract flies, mosquitoes, midges, ultraviolet light. Approaching it, insects touch the metal grid, which is energized and die from electric shock. The lamps installed in them are completely safe, do not harm human health, since their action is aimed exclusively at the extermination of flies and mosquitoes.
Electric traps, where a fan is installed inside, suck in insects that approach them. Devices that lure mosquitoes with a special light and a small amount of carbon dioxide that mimics the smell of a human body, so bloodsuckers perceive them as a living object.

Pestkiller lamp-trap for flies and mosquitoes

The device is equipped with two ultraviolet lamps with a power of 20 W, which attract flying insects with their light. In front of them is a metal grid through which current passes. In contact with it, flies and mosquitoes die. The body of the device is made of a special lightweight, oil-resistant aluminum alloy scratch resistant.

Pest Killer flying insect trap lamp

The device is absolutely safe for pets and people. It can be turned on outdoors and indoors, for example: in hospitals, places Catering, in the country. The main condition is access to the electrical network. If you use the device outdoors, you need to make sure that it does not get rain. To do this, it is recommended to install it in covered verandas, gazebos or make a canopy over it. There is a metal ring on the top of the body of the product. A chain is included with the device, thanks to which it can be placed in a place convenient for the owner. In a suspended state, the efficiency of the apparatus increases, and insects flock to the light from all sides. The range of the Pestkiller fly and mosquito trap lamp is 40 m².

Advantages of electric trap Pest Killer:

Soft ultraviolet light.
The device is easy to use. It is enough to choose a place for installation and connect to the electrical network. Additional settings are not required.
The Pest Killer is completely safe as it does not use chemical substances, as in classic traps, where you need to constantly buy a poisonous liquid, or special plates.

Outdoor fly exterminator

Modern fly exterminators are divided into household and industrial (professional). The first category includes electrical devices universal purpose, which can be used indoors and outdoors, but in dry weather. Each of them is equipped with one or more ultraviolet lamps that attract flying insects. In front of it is a high-voltage grid, contact with which kills flies and mosquitoes. The ultraviolet light emitted by the device is not dangerous to humans. The area of action of household insect exterminators is up to 100 m², professional - from 100 m².

When choosing a device, attention should be paid to the power of the lamps, since it affects the range, for example, 4–6 W lamps are suitable for an area of 15–20 m², 6–10 W - 30–40 m², from 12 W - more than 50 m². On average, their service life is 3-5 thousand hours. Fly killers can be used anywhere electric outlet 220 V, for example: in apartments, private houses, outdoors in gazebos or shops.

At present, street ones have been released, based on wireless operation - from batteries and the use of gas.

Outdoor fly exterminator

In the fight against mosquitoes, midges, flies in the open air, the Garden Exterminator is effective. This is an original trap for certain types of insects, they do not include bees and butterflies. Inside the device are two UV-A LEDs emitting ultraviolet. The service life of LEDs is from 100 thousand hours. Insects flying into the light enter the lantern, where they collide with the grate, through which the current is started. Dead flies, mosquitoes fall into a special tray. It is easy to get and clean. The operating time of the device in the mode of destruction of insects is six hours.

The maximum intensity of the exterminator's action occurs at night, since it is during this period that it attracts the most flies and mosquitoes. This function is relevant only in the warm season, at low air temperatures the device can be used as a flashlight. In open space, it copes with the protection of an area of up to 50 m². To increase the efficiency of the device, it can be supplemented with the Octenol attractant. This substance imitates the smell of a person, which attracts blood-sucking insects. Thanks to this, the area of action is increased to 100 m², and the efficiency of the device is tripled or even quadrupled.

The time of continuous operation of the product is eight hours. It is completely autonomous, as it has a special power supply system, consisting of nickel cadmium battery And solar panel. During the day, they are charged from a solar battery located on the top cover of the device. Ease of use of the device for the extermination of flies and mosquitoes - no need to connect to a 220 V electrical network. Thanks to the installed solar panel, the batteries can be charged even in cloudy weather.

The insect exterminator can be hung on a hook or mounted on a rod. It is designed for continuous operation outdoors, so the case is made of environmentally friendly stainless materials that are resistant to temperature fluctuations and adverse weather conditions.

Fly trap Well

Well's electric trap works on all types of flying insects, including wasps, flies, mosquitoes and others. The device is equipped with UV lamps. The emitted spectrum does not pose a threat to people, even if they are constantly in the room with the device. A high-voltage grid is installed in front of the lamps. When touched with it, insects immediately die and fall into a special tray.

Fly trap Well

Despite the fact that the light emitted by the Well electric fly trap is not dangerous to humans, it is worth observing at least minimum requirements security. The device must be suspended at a height of 2–2.5 m from the floor. This will help eliminate direct exposure to ultraviolet light on the human eye. The device is easy to install and operate.

Precautionary measures

It is forbidden to install the Well electric trap near windows, explosive substances, flammable gases, in drafts.
Keep the product out of the reach of children.
The appliance must not be placed in the cooking and eating area. The optimal placement is above the head at a height of 2–2.5 m from the floor and in places where flying insects accumulate.
ELN is most effective when used around the clock.

Rules for the care of an electric fly exterminator:

Once a year, it is recommended to replace the lamp in the device so that it works as efficiently as possible.
The trap must be cleaned at least once every two months, after disconnecting from the mains.
Next, you need to remove dead insects from the pallet and the bottom of the ELN. Wash the net.

Flies in the tray of the insect exterminator

On the modern market there is a wide variety of devices for fighting flies and mosquitoes in terms of power, size, principle of operation, which allows everyone to choose for themselves specific model suitable for the characteristics.

The devices do not have specific restrictions on the type of flying insects to be destroyed, they are universal - they eliminate both small midges and bees, wasps and even bumblebees.

How are they destroyed?

In the online store, you can buy a mosquito exterminator from more than seven dozen available options, but in each case, the principle of elimination is primarily based on attracting insects with ultraviolet light. Each device from the catalog contains a lamp or a luminous element that emits light of the part of the spectrum that most attracts flying insects. Devices attract midges and mosquitoes not only at night or at dusk, but also during the day, and this is achieved through the following:

the lamps heat up slightly and this imitates the body heat of animals and people who become victims of bites;
the ultraviolet glow of the exterminators is chosen in such a way that it is the insects that always distinguish it from other light sources.

If any electric mosquito exterminator attracts insects in the same way, then the extermination process itself is different and in this respect two types of devices are distinguished:

1. The design of such devices assumes that ultraviolet lamps are placed near the grid, which is constantly supplied with a high voltage current - over 1,000 volts. Since midges will randomly fly near the lamp, they will inevitably fall on the grid, where they are instantly killed by an electric discharge. From small insects there will not even be a trace, as they will instantly burn out, but the fly or wasp will die, but its body will fall into the storage tray.

2.Sucking into the trap. Such devices, like vacuum cleaners, are equipped with a motor that constantly sucks in air. The suction speed of the air flow is chosen in such a way that it can "capture" any flying insect. After suction, the mosquito or fly enters the chamber, from which it is impossible to get out. This is ensured both by the design of the trap itself and by the force of air suction.

Advantages and disadvantages of each type of exterminators

In the store catalog, the website of an electronic mosquito exterminator of any model has guaranteed effectiveness against insects, however, we highlight distinctive features each type of instrument:

1.Electrical killers. Such devices should not be used outdoors without protection from rain. The weather cover must be strong enough to prevent a strong headwind during rain from causing a short circuit. On the other hand, an outdoor mosquito exterminator of this design usually has a higher efficiency of killing flying insects than one that sucks midges into a trap. It is important that electric discharge products can be equipped not only with classic lamps, but also with improved ones. They have a film on top of the lamp, thanks to which no fragments occur during the battle of the lamp. This is beneficial for owners of cafes and restaurants who care about the safety of their guests on summer grounds, as well as for food industries, where the presence of mechanical impurities in the finished product is strictly controlled. Live grid solutions are very often industrial applications. Under any circumstances, a metal mesh will not cause severe harm to a person, dog or cat. This is guaranteed by the characteristics of the supplied current, because it has high voltage, but a relatively small force, and such a combination is fatal only for flying insects.

2.Sucking into the trap. While devices that kill with a discharge are usually very large, those that suck into a trap can be miniature in size. Therefore, often small and affordable mosquito exterminator traps of this design are used as a night lamp, located near the bed. At the same time, there are large-format models that are also used to illuminate streets or closed areas. Trap solutions require more reverent maintenance, because if the storage tank overflows, then the effectiveness of insect elimination will significantly decrease, and if the device is not cared for, it will even come to naught.

There are not many manufacturers in the market for mosquito exterminators, and yet it is worth highlighting two key competitors:

1.. Based on the totality of all factors, these solutions are the most optimal. They offer sufficient efficiency - the area of elimination of flying insects up to 200 m 2 . The widest range of solutions - there are products of any type of destruction with different levels of productivity and a small step of increasing functionality. Thanks to this, everyone can choose the right model, while its capabilities will be just right - without unnecessary or missing functions.

2.. Everyone can and should buy an electric mosquito killer from this manufacturer. Their quality is in no way inferior to models from EcoSniper, but the choice here is not so wide, and products that kill with a discharge are mainly available. For example, Barguzin does not offer the simplest and most affordable models that would protect your sleep from mosquito bites - the manufacturer focuses more on products for industrial consumers.

We specialize in solutions against unwanted animals, so you can even buy a mosquito and fly exterminator from us that runs on rechargeable batteries rather than a conventional outlet, such as the EcoSniper GE4-4B. Please note that unlike traditional means of combating flying insects, the devices we sell are advantageous in that you do not need to constantly purchase consumables for them. If you apply them for several years, then during this time they are relatively high price will pay off.

As an auxiliary measure, traps for various insects are used: crawling, flying. They are designed to collect, gradually poison or instantly destroy pests upon contact with current. The speed of removing pests from the object depends on the design and principle of operation of the trap.

They are called light traps for insects, which is due to the design: they are based on an ultraviolet lamp, in front of which there is a metal grill. When flying pests are in close proximity to the grate, death occurs as a result of electric shock. This device is suitable for mosquitoes, flies, butterflies and small midges. A person will not suffer from the effects of such a device, however, it is better to place it at a safe distance.

The electric fly and mosquito trap must be cleaned periodically, as bugs fall dead on the tray located at the bottom of the device when they come into contact with the grate.

There are many different devices of this type. Well brand traps are considered the best. Analogues of other firms: Hilton, Clatronic, Barguzin.

Electric for crawling species

These are devices with a labyrinth inside, which does not allow pests to get out, once climbing inside. Suitable for crawling species (cockroaches, ants, etc.), as it is installed on horizontal surfaces. Such an electric insect trap has an effect of current. The disadvantage of such devices lies in the average efficiency, as an independent tool, such electric traps for the destruction of insects are not used. The advantage is the absence of chemicals.

Adhesive fixtures

Their device is simple: a box in which there are several entrances for pests, as well as a strip with an adhesive substance applied. The catcher works simply: ants or cockroaches get inside, attracted by light or food. Unable to get out, they slowly die.

Such a device can be used as an exterminator of flying insects and crawling species. To attract mosquitoes, a light source is often used. Minus - low efficiency with a strong infection of the apartment. Advantages of glue traps for insects: safety for people, low price, ease of use.

Models with poison bait inside

They got their name due to the fact that they lure crawling and flying species. However, destruction occurs later outside the trap, as crawling bugs, upon contact with the bait, receive a portion of the poison and leave, spreading it to their fellows. These insecticidal traps allow you to kill a group of pests at once, which is similar to a lamp for killing flying insects. However, there is a drawback - the slow process of removing cockroaches and other crawling species.

Collection by mechanical means

Most often, these are containers inside which the bait is laid. The device is very simple but effective. It is recommended to cover the entire area of the object, placing traps in different areas. If for some reason insect lamps cannot be used, a device for mechanical collection of bugs should be used. A person will not suffer from this trap, what is its advantage. The downside is the gradual elimination of cockroaches, ants, etc.

Fixture from plastic bottle and sweet bait

Selection according to the type of insect

The destruction of cockroaches most effectively occurs through adhesive devices and electrical appliances. They need to be placed in habitats, the more traps, the better the result. Bedbugs are more difficult to collect with such devices, The best decision in this case, to block their way to a food source. To do this, you need to install the legs of the bed on a glue trap. Ants are also destroyed by means of a simple device with an adhesive surface.

Do-it-yourself construction

If it is not possible to buy a device for the destruction of pests, you can use your own version - a home-made device.

It is proposed to implement electrical principle effects on flying pests or make a pheromone bait:

You will need a lamp, a small fan and a plastic bag connected to the juice box. It is necessary to position the lamp and fan so that the air is directed towards the polyethylene trap. The light source will attract pests.
There is also a more affordable version of the insect trap, which is even easier to make with your own hands. You will need an adhesive strip and a preparation with pheromones, which will act as bait.
