Introduction:
Over 75% households report fly infestations during summer. This guide explores non-toxic solutions through physics-based technologies, revealing how modern traps outperform chemical sprays.
Why Flies Invade Your Home?
Research from Entomological Society of America shows:
-
Fruit flies detect ethanol 0.5km away
-
1mg food residue attracts 200+ gnats
-
CO2 from breathing draws mosquitoes within 10m radius
3 Principles of Physical Trapping
-
Phototaxis Effect: 365nm wavelength attracts 4x more flies
-
Vortex Capture: Dual-fan systems achieve 98% retention rate
-
Barrier Defense: 0.6mm mesh blocks 95% airborne pests
Choosing Effective Fly Traps
-
LED grids should emit <2% IR radiation
-
Look for 15W minimum airflow (tested per AHAM standards)
-
Opt for dishwasher-safe collection trays
-
Certifications: FCC, CE, RoHS compliant
