Why is
it important to control flies?
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>House flies have been shown to carry
the disease organisms causing typhoid fever, cholera, summer diarrhea,
dysentery, tuberculosis, anthrax and ophthalmia, as well as parasitic
worms.1 Flies contaminate food. They have been linked to many
illnesses including those caused by E-coli, Salmonella, and
Streptococci.

How do
fly traps work?
size=2>These units are non-zapping, non-toxic fly traps! All units utilize
ultraviolet light to attract flies to the trap (flies find UV irresistible). The
flies are then lured to the glue on the slowly moving 60 day auto-advancing
cartridge by the food scents, decoys on the trapping surface, and sex pheromones
that gives the units powerful trapping capabilities.

How
many unit(s) do I need ?
face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Most Restaurants, Convenience Stores,
and other Food Service establishments need 2 or more Insect Inn units for the
customer area and 1 or more Terminator units for the Kitchen, Food storage
areas, etc.

Where
should unit(s) be located?
Terminator placement - In kitchen areas
and other non-public areas of restaurants. Insect Inn
Ultra placement - Service passageways between kitchen and seating area of
restaurant; above deli/pastry cases; restaurant walls away from windows; above
dirty dish collection areas; and food order counters. Line of sight placement is
important, flies must have direct view of UV light. Units should be installed
just above eye level to avoid view of lamp(s) and cartridge

Can the
Insect Inn Ultra and Terminator units be used to catch other flying
insects?
The
primary focus of the units is to catch flies. However, any other flying insect
attracted to ultraviolet light will be attracted to these units.
|
6 |
Why use
an auto advancing cartridge?
The auto advancing cartridge makes
changing the cartridge more sanitary and easier. The cartridge system rolls the
trapped flies into the cartridge so you never handle the fly covered trapping
surface. The Insect Inn TM Ultra has a surface area of almost 584 sq.
inches. The average glue board only has 68 sq. inches
|
7 |
Can the cartridge be
rewound for reuse?
No. 60
day auto advancing cartridge is for single use only .There is a risk of
exposure to bacterial contaminated surface by rewinding the cartridge.
USDA and FDA have regulations preventing these type of exposures.

Can I
replace the lamp and/or cartridge with items from the local Hardware
Store?

The lamps used in our units have special characteristics designed to catch the
flying insects. These lamps are designed specifically for Paraclipse. The
cartridge is a patented cartridge and can be purchased from Alta Power Corp

Can
unit(s) be used outdoors?

outdoor use.

What
colors do you offer?
The very attractive cover can be easily painted
to fit any decor. The outer shell will accept any Krylon paint. Do not
paint the back surface of the shell top or the light slits in the front of the
unit, these areas are essential to the effectiveness of the unit!
