Discover our wide range of insect destroyers for professional use. New generation electric grid device with LED and GLU plate. Suitable for HACCP in the food industry and catering industry. IP44 standard for wet areas. Find our complete guide on the efficiency, standards, installation and compatibility of fluorescent and LED neon tubes .
As of December 31, 2027, the sale of fluorescent neon tube destroyers or the sale of fluorescent neon tubes will be permanently prohibited.
A distinction must be made between the electrified tube and grid insect destroyer, which works on the principle of light whose wavelength attracts insects. The latter then come and electrocute themselves on the grids . The insects are then collected in the destroyer.
The same principle of insect destroyer exists but with surfaces on which glue plates are fitted.
The plates have two functions : they allow the capture of insects that would not have been electrocuted to be extended and they prevent the projection of waste (which is an important condition in the food industry).
In the food industry, catering and catering sectors, it is now strongly recommended by veterinary services to use a glue board destroyer as part of HACCP recommendations.
Whether it is a grid destroyer or a glue insect destroyer, they are equipped with one or more tubes characterized by their power (20 watts, 40, 60, etc.)
This determines the power of the device and therefore its range. The tubes are, of course, interchangeable.
There are two types of tubes: standard tubes and so-called "splinter-proof" tubes. The special feature of shatter-proof tubes is that they are sheathed and therefore prevent glass from flying in the event of the tube bursting. This characteristic makes them mandatory in the food industry.
Energy-saving LED insect killer
Reducing power consumption in shredders is also an area of development for manufacturers. BRC has developed shredders with energy-saving lamps, as detailed below, but a new type of shredder appeared in 2019. These are shredders powered by LED lamps, which, as everyone knows, have very low power consumption.
Two manufacturers offer a device of this type: PELSIS (Ex P+L) and JVD.
There is a generation of BRC OPUS insect destroyer equipped with an energy-saving lamp which has the advantage of a much longer lamp life of 15,000 hours (compared to 300 for conventional neon lamps).
Mosquito Magnet Destroyer
Beyond an insect destroyer, there is the Mosquito Magnet system developed by Favex which is intended for outdoor protection for areas of up to 4000 m2.
The system acts as a decoy and the process takes place in 3 phases, the device attracting mosquitoes in a first step, to then suck them in and trap them, the 3rd step being the death by asphyxiation of said mosquitoes. Explanation! You should know that the mosquito is attracted by the smell of the skin and the presence of carbon dioxide produced by human respiration. The diffusion of a mixture combining propane gas, transformed by the device into carbon dioxide (CO²), and an adjuvant, Octenol (substance produced by plants and certain animals), as well as Lurex 3 specially dedicated to Tiger Mosquitoes, makes it possible to reproduce the characteristics of this human respiration and in doing so to "trap" the insects, which are sucked via an attractor tube into a net, where they then dehydrate in 24 hours.
