Latest Pest Control Tactic: Insect Light Traps for Fall Pests

As we move into the fall season, one of the emerging trends in pest control is the increased use of insect light traps (ILTs). These traps are becoming more sophisticated and are particularly effective against flying insects such as flies and moths that seek shelter indoors as temperatures drop. The latest ILTs use UV light to attract pests, capturing them on adhesive boards or in containers, making them a non-toxic, eco-friendly option for homeowners looking to reduce indoor pest populations.

Why Insect Light Traps Are Effective

• Attract and Capture: ILTs use UV light to draw in flying insects, which are then trapped on sticky surfaces or inside the device.

• Eco-Friendly: These traps don't rely on chemicals, making them safe for homes with children and pets.

• Low Maintenance: ILTs are easy to maintain, requiring only periodic replacement of adhesive boards or emptying of containers.
  

Best Practices for Using ILTs

1. Strategic Placement: Place ILTs near entry points like windows and doors to intercept pests before they spread throughout the home.

2. Regular Maintenance: Check and replace the adhesive boards regularly to ensure the trap remains effective.

3. Combination Approach: For the best results, use ILTs alongside other pest control methods like sealing entry points and maintaining cleanliness.
   

This modern approach to pest control is ideal for homeowners seeking an effective, non-invasive way to manage pests as the fall season begins.
