• Insect-O-Cutor has been the technological leader in the development of electric fly killers since introducing the original UV light units to the UK in 1962. The new range is a breakthrough in flying insect control with improved styling, extra power and the new Synergetic green/UV lamps.

Originality of design, quality and manufacture with outstanding performance are just three of the reasons why more than a million units have now been installed in 40 countries world-wide.

All Insect-O-Cutor fly killers are fitted with the patented Synergetic™ UVA-Green lamp which combines two attractant phosphors to provide these important benefits:

• Catches common House flies, Blow flies and Fruit flies 30% faster than traditional UVA lamps (which appears blue to the human eye)
• Attracts a broader range of insects, including stored product moths, where lamps with only UVA light are less effective
• Keeps on working longer because the green light phosphor hardly ever degrades, unlike UVA lamps which lose up to 40% of their power after 6 months.
• Stored product beetles including tobacco beetle, lesser grain beetle, grain beetle, rice weevil, merchant grain beetle and confused flour beetle are attracted to the UVA spectral peak.
• Stored product moths, including tropical warehouse moth, warehouse moth, Mediterranean flour moth and Indian meal moth are more attracted to the Green spectral peak. (Based on ‘Review of the response of stored product insects to light of various wavelengths, with particular reference to the design and use of light traps for population monitoring’ by D P Rees, Trp.Sci.1985.25, 197-21.)
• Common house flies, blow flies and fruit flies are more attracted to a combination of UVA and Green light. (Based on independent tests carried out by the Medical Entomology Centre at Cambridge in 1994.)

• Figure 1 shows the two wave length peaks for UVA-Green light.
• Figure 2 shows the degradation of the UVA phosphor decreasing to output of 30% over 12 months and the green phosphor decreasing to output of 95% over the same period. (Based on tests by Insect-O-Cutor and manufacturer’s information.)
