Glue Board Fly Traps - Complete Maintenance and Component Replacement Guide: UV Tubes and Glue Boards

Glue Board Fly Traps are essential tools for controlling flying insects in many environments, especially in the food sector. To ensure their effectiveness, proper maintenance and regular replacement of key components, such as UV tubes and glue boards, are crucial. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know to keep your fly traps operating at their best.

Maintenance of Glue Board Fly Traps

Regular maintenance is vital for the effectiveness and longevity of your fly traps. This includes cleaning the devices and replacing components.

1. General Cleaning

  • Frequency: Perform a general cleaning every two months.
  • Procedure: Disconnect the device, use a damp cloth and a non-corrosive soapy solution. Avoid direct contact with electrical components.

2. Component Inspection

  • Check the UV Tubes and Glue Boards for signs of wear or damage.

Replacement of UV Tubes

UV tubes are fundamental for attracting insects to the fly trap. In areas of food processing, preparation, or packaging, we recommend always installing shatterproof tubes that guarantee protection against glass shards in case of breakage or bursting.

When to Replace Them

  • Recommended Frequency: Change the UV tubes annually, even if they do not appear to be burned out.
  • Signs of Need for Change: A reduction in insect capture may indicate that it is time to change the tubes.

How to Replace Them

  • Disconnect the device, remove the used tubes and place the new ones, ensuring they are properly secured.

Replacement of Glue Boards

Glue boards are critical for trapping and retaining insects once they are attracted by the UV tubes.

When to Replace Them

  • Recommended Frequency: Every 2 months, or sooner if they are full or show signs of decreased adhesion.
  • Visual Inspection: If the board is mostly covered with insects, it's time to change it.

How to Replace Them

  • Remove the full board, place a new one ensuring it is correctly positioned in the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is it necessary to change the UV tubes annually? The effectiveness of UV tubes decreases over time, even if they are not burned out.
  • Can I clean and reuse the glue boards? No, once they are full or have lost their adhesiveness, they must be replaced.

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of UV tubes and glue boards are essential for the effective operation of your Glue Board Fly Traps. These simple steps will not only increase the efficiency of your devices but also prolong their lifespan.
