This electric fly killer uses two ultraviolet tubes to attract flying insects, which then fall into a removable catchment tray below. The unit is housed in a solid metal enclosure, making it a practical choice for food service and preparation areas where pest control forms part of day-to-day hygiene practice.

In a working kitchen environment, having a reliable passive pest control unit running continuously during service helps reduce the risk of contamination without requiring staff intervention. The catchment tray design means insects are contained and not dispersed, which matters in food prep and storage areas where hygiene standards are closely monitored.

  • Solid metal housing with removable catchment tray for easy cleaning
  • Two UV tubes attract insects passively throughout the day
  • Can be ceiling-mounted on chains or placed on a shelf or solid surface
  • Covers areas up to 50m², suitable for smaller kitchens, prep rooms, and storage areas
  • UV bulbs should be replaced every six months to maintain effective attraction

Installation is straightforward — the unit can be suspended from a ceiling using the supplied chains, or positioned on a shelf at an appropriate height. It runs from a standard mains supply and requires no water or specialist connection. Bear in mind that UV fly killers work best when positioned away from competing light sources and natural daylight, and should not face doorways or windows where they may attract insects from outside.

This unit is well suited to smaller commercial kitchens, back-of-house storage rooms, prep areas, and front-of-house spaces such as service counters or dining rooms. For larger kitchens or open-plan areas significantly over 50m², a higher-output unit would be more appropriate to ensure adequate coverage.

If you are unsure whether this unit is the right fit for your space or need advice on positioning for compliance purposes, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently asked questions

How often do the UV bulbs need to be replaced?

UV tubes in fly killers lose their effectiveness before they visibly stop working, as the wavelength output degrades over time. Replacing the bulbs every six months ensures the unit continues to attract insects reliably — annual replacement is the minimum, but twice yearly is the recommended practice in active food service environments.

Where should the fly killer be positioned for best results?

Position the unit away from windows and doorways to avoid drawing insects in from outside, and away from competing light sources that may reduce its effectiveness. Mounting at a height of around two metres is generally effective, and the unit should not be placed directly above open food preparation surfaces.

Is this unit sufficient for a busy commercial kitchen?

This unit is designed for areas up to 50m², making it well suited to smaller kitchens, prep rooms, dry stores, and service counters. For larger or open-plan sites, or where pest pressure is higher, a unit with greater coverage capacity would be more appropriate — if you are unsure, it is worth discussing your site layout before purchasing.
