A single Fly carries up to 33 million highly dangerous microbes Flies vomit every time they land They digest externally to Soften their Food Flies do transmit Dangerous Microbes to Food

4 HACCP triggered moves to glue board models Replacing high-tension grid units Need for information / monitoring Better tubes ( + glass protection) Integration of technologies Tubes need to be RoHS compliant Design & service friendly concepts

University of Wisconsin Report An abundance of bacteria becomes airborne at the time a fly is electrocuted (electric grid machines) Kansas University Bacteria from exploding insects can travel up to 6 feet from the electric grid and even further on air currents USDA Directive: No electric grid units will be used in areas where food is processed or produced. The USDA mandates that flies responsible for the spread of E-Coli and Salmonella are banned from any food production/processing areas.

Only measure that Attracts, Kills and Collects insects without the use of chemicals. Ability to monitor within HACCP concept 80% of fly brain is used for sight Consequently using UV-A light as an attractant is the most effective solution A device to locate the source and open up new business with a customer

Sunlight Natural, constant light Electric Lighting50 cycles per second Human eye observes maximum of 24 cycles per second So we observe lamps as a constant light source Flies observe 200 cycles per second So flies see UV-A lamps as flashing/ flickering lights Not as attractive as constant daylight! VECTOTHOR Electronic Ballast 10,000 cycles per second So flies see VECTOTHOR lamps as a constant light source Brighter and more attractive, like constant daylight!
