New Insectron glue boards for flying insects

Insect extermination expert Insectron has launched a new series of glue boards, I-Boards, for use in insect exterminators: these are even more attractive to flying insects, and make counting easier

Insect extermination expert Insectron has launched a new series of glue boards, called I-Boards, for use in its insect exterminators.

Specifically designed to attract, catch and kill flies and other flying insects, the I-Boards allow users to quickly determine how many insects have been caught - useful for HACCP* procedures.

This is made easier by the boards having eight large squares subdivided into 200 smaller squares.

If, for example, the insects on 10 small squares are counted and multiplied by 20, an accurate estimate of total number and type of insects is easily obtained.

Getting a quick, reliable estimate saves users time and money as they can obtain the results in minutes.

The new I-Boards have 20% more adhesive surface than previous versions and are coloured yellow, which research has shown is the most effective colour for attracting flying insects, particularly flies.

In addition, an insect-attracting pheromone is concentrated in the centre of each board, ensuring a stronger attraction potential for the entire lifetime of the board - up to three months.

The boards also ensure no contamination of the surrounding area by ensuring all insects are permanently trapped.

Used in conjunction with the UV-A and green light emitted by the Insectron units, the new I-Boards offer a highly effective, measurable way of attracting and killing unwanted flying insects.

The Insectron range is manufactured by Berson UV in the Netherlands.

As part of its strategy the company constantly anticipates new developments and produces new products to meet industry's changing needs.

A key factor in the Insectron evolution is continuous research, which is carried out in collaboration with universities, research institutes and industry.

* HACCP - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.

A production control system for the food industry.

It is a process that identifies where potential contamination can occur (the critical control points or CCPs) and strictly manages and monitors these points as a way of ensuring the process is in control and that the safest product possible is being produced.

HACCP is designed to prevent rather than catch potential hazards.
