ACTO Glue Trap with UV Lamp - Customer Return

ACTO Glue Trap with U.V. Lamp (Reference: LAMP12) represents the modern evolution of flying insect control. This innovative device combines ultraviolet technology with a chemical-free capture system to provide silent, effective protection for your indoor spaces. Designed by ACTO, a recognised expert in pest control solutions, this trap meets the needs of households and professionals looking for an eco-friendly, discreet method.

Applications and Benefits

This UV glue trap proves indispensable in many indoor environments. In the kitchen, it effectively eliminates flies attracted by food, preserving food hygiene. In living rooms and bedrooms, it ensures peaceful nights by catching mosquitoes and gnats without noise or odour. Offices and workspaces also benefit from this non-intrusive solution, which maintains a pleasant working environment.

The 360-degree UV technology naturally attracts phototropic insects, exploiting their instinct to trap them effectively. Unlike chemical insecticides, this method respects indoor air quality and is suitable for homes with children and pets. Coverage of 30 m² lets you protect entire rooms with a single strategically placed device.

Technological Innovation and Materials

At the heart of this trap is a specialised UV fluorescent tube that emits a wavelength optimised to attract flying insects. This lamp diffuses ultraviolet light over 360 degrees, creating a maximum attraction zone with no blind spots. The compact design neatly integrates this technology into an elegant, discreet housing.

The glue boards use a specialised adhesive formula, odourless and non-toxic, that remains effective over time. These boards are designed to capture insects without releasing unpleasant odours or volatile substances. The mounting system allows quick, hygienic replacement of full boards.

The standard power supply guarantees universal compatibility with household electrical installations. The selected materials provide UV resistance and optimal durability, while the modular design makes maintenance and regular cleaning of the device easy.

Installation and Practical Use

Installing this UV trap takes just a few simple steps. Unplug the device before any handling, then carefully remove the cover to access the internal compartment. Peel the protective film off the glue board and position the board correctly inside the device, making sure it is perfectly aligned.

Optimal positioning means placing the trap 1 to 1.5 metres above the floor, away from competing light sources such as windows or bright lighting. Avoid areas with strong draughts, which could reduce the trap's effectiveness. Once plugged into the mains, the device starts operating immediately.

Regular maintenance mainly consists of replacing the glue boards when they are full of insects. How often depends on the level of infestation, generally every 2 to 4 weeks. The UV fluorescent tube remains effective for many months of continuous use, ensuring consistent performance without complex maintenance.

Expert Tips and Optimisation

To maximise the effectiveness of your ACTO trap, favour night-time use, when insects are more active and competing light sources are reduced. In the kitchen, place the device away from worktops to avoid any contamination of food by captured insects.

The seasonal strategy recommends intensive use in summer and autumn, the peak periods of flying insect activity. Complement this protection with preventive methods: regular cleaning, eliminating sources of moisture and protecting entry points.

Mistakes to avoid include direct exposure to sunlight, which can impair the adhesion of the boards, unsuitable outdoor use, and placing the device too close to curious pets. For professionals, include this trap in an integrated pest management plan, combined with other devices according to the total area to be protected.
