Flying Insect Control
Reduce nuisance and biting pressure from flying insects with an integrated programme that combines monitoring and non-chemical capture using UV light traps with targeted residual chemical applications for persistent harbourage zones. We emphasise evidence-led placement, safety and minimal disruption to occupants and beneficial species.
Key Methods We Use
Continuous attraction and capture for indoor and covered areas.
Long-lasting surface treatments at resting and harbourage points.
Optimised trap placement based on entry points and lighting.
Regular trap servicing and catch review to guide actions.
Our Process
- Initial site survey to identify flying insect sources, lighting and sheltered resting areas.
- Selection and placement of UV light traps according to activity and access requirements.
- Targeted residual applications to high-resting surfaces and perimeter zones where appropriate.
- Scheduled trap servicing and catch monitoring; follow-up residual touch-ups as required.
- Reporting and recommendations for prevention, including lighting and housekeeping adjustments.
Where This Works Best
- Food service areas with covered outdoor seating
- Warehouses, production halls and loading bays
- Hospitality venues, bars and hotel back-of-house areas
- Healthcare and retail premises requiring monitored capture
- Offices, community centres and enclosed public spaces
Benefits of UV Light Traps and Residual Applications
Traps showing activity trends to target interventions.
Traps reducing reliance on area sprays.
Residuals protecting resting sites for weeks.
Low-visibility solutions suitable for customer areas.
Safety and Compliance
We prioritise occupant safety and regulatory compliance. Equipment and products are selected for their suitability to the area being treated and used in line with manufacturer guidance.
- Risk assessments and method statements produced for every site.
- UV traps mounted to avoid public contact and tampering.
- Residuals applied in targeted amounts to non-food contact and low-exposure surfaces where labelled.
Practical Advice for Clients
- Position traps away from competing light sources and close to insect entry points.
- Keep doors and windows screened where possible to reduce ingress.
- Regularly maintain traps and record catches to evaluate performance.
- Report any changes in lighting or layout that could affect trap efficacy.
