The Insectron® Museum using green light
Intended for areas not accessible to the public
Abiotec has perfected a range of traps using a special green UV-emission free light designed for use in areas which are sensitive to light and particularly ultra-violet light in order to protect collections. Once irresistibly attracted by the special light source, the insects are captured by means of a glue board which is both effective (non-selective) and provides usage comfort (no noise, smell or chemical products).
The insects are not destroyed when trapped which enables them to be identified and quantified and makes it possible to control the insect populations present in the area(s) concerned unlike with electrocution traps.
Insectron® Museum traps do not electrocute the insects but trap them using adhesive.
The use of ABIOTEC traps proves to be an excellent surveillance method. Economic and easy to install, this solution optimises the use of pheromone traps and curative treatments.
Insectron® Museum traps are not fitted with synergetic or traditional green lamps but special lamps which do not emit UV light.
Design:
The model and location are defined depending on the floor area to be protected, the required control points and the nature of the sensitive objects stored.
