The FlyWeb
insect light is designed for use indoors in residential and
commercial areas. Its compact size and direct plug-in features
allow the light to be placed in any outlet. The FlyWeb insect
light uses an insect attracting lamp to lure insects to the
adhesive trapping board. When the glueboard is full of insects,
simply remove, discard and replace with a new adhesive trapping
board.
The FlyWeb insect light will lure and
capture the house fly, fruit fly, cluster fly, face fly, phorid
flies, bottle flies, drain flies, mosquitoes, fungus gnats, moth
flies, moths, asian beetles, yellowjackets and other flying
insects.
Since 1928, Gardner has
pioneered the manufacture of insect light traps for
commercial and industrial applications. This same highly
effective insect control technology is now available for
bars, restaurants and homeowners, too. If you’re tired of
swatting annoying flying insects, there’s good news from
the people at Gardner . . . FlyWeb Insect Management.
Create an insect-free
environment with FlyWeb Insect Management from Gardner.
How FlyWeb Works for You
For use indoors in residential and light commercial
areas.
The FlyWeb light trap attracts flying insects by using
energy-efficient U.V. light. Flying insects are drawn to the
U.V. light and trapped on the web-like adhesive glue
card.
Plug in the FlyWeb and trap annoying flying insects in the
kitchen, living room, hallway, cafeteria and restaurant,
bar, RV or motorcoach.
FlyWeb Insect Management works 24/7 to create an insect-free
environment.
The FlyWeb light trap is compact (3.5" wide x 11"
high) and uses a standard 110V plug-in compatible with any
outlet.
To activate the sticking
power of your glue card, just peel away the protective
plastic film and insert the card into the inside slot at the
back of the FlyWeb light fixture. When the card becomes
full, throw it away and install a fresh card. Glue cards are
non-toxic and safe to handle.
The glue cards use natural
ingredients, are nontoxic and easily replaced when full
(glue card will hold 50-100 flies).

Fungus Gnat
Fruit flies are common around the house during late summer and
early fall. All it takes is an overripe banana, tomatoes
ripening on the counter or melon rinds in the wastebasket -- and
like magic, fruit flies appear.
But in
winter? Winter fruit flies often are not fruit flies at all but
rather fungus gnats, which look enough like fruit flies to a casual
observer to be confused with them.
Both
fruit flies and fungus gnats speed the process of decay of plant
matter. Adult fruit flies home in on potential food sources such as
overripe fruit or winter squash past its prime, and lay their eggs
on it. Maggots hatch in a day or two and commence feeding. As the
plant matter breaks down, various fungi start to grow in it. These
fungi -- and others growing in houseplant pots, drains and other
chronically damp places -- are attractive to fungus gnats, which are
every bit as quick as fruit flies to zero in on potential breeding
sites. Numbers can increase quickly.
During
warm months, both of these insects can enter homes from outdoors.
They can easily pass through ordinary window screen. In winter,
management can be more successful because you don't have a
continuous supply of new recruits to deal with.
Focus
control efforts on five areas: fruit and vegetable storage areas
that are open to air (bowls, crocks, bags on floors or in pantries),
open trash containers, potted indoor plants, drains, and damp rugs,
carpets and paper products in the basement or garage.
Leave
out on the counter only as much fruit as you will consume in a day
or two. Wash containers frequently (every other day or so) in hot,
soapy water to dislodge and kill any eggs they might contain.
Line
trash containers with disposable plastic bags. Containers with no
bag or a leaking bag should be washed frequently, especially if the
bottom tends to remain damp or wet.
If you
suspect houseplant pots of harboring fungus gnats or fruit flies,
you can treat the soil with insecticidal soap or incorporate
diatomaceous earth in the soil to kill the maggots. Another approach
is to cut back on watering so the soil dries out between waterings.
Any maggots present in the soil will dry out, and lack of water will
reduce fungal growth and so reduce the food supply for adult fungus
gnats. A third option is a combination of letting the soil dry
between waterings and then watering with a solution of water and
insecticidal soap.
Basements can get extremely damp during the summer. Fabric and paper
will absorb moisture and can become home to populations of fungus
gnats and a host of other creatures, many of which may carry over
into the winter. Use a dehumidifier in the summer to reduce the
dampness, thus eliminating breeding sites for these flies and
reducing the growth of mold.
Household Fly and Gnat traps for flying insects will control fruit
flies and fungus gnats, but this is like treating the symptom rather
than the cause of an infestation. Eliminate potential breeding
habitat as soon as possible.
Measures
that dry or clean out breeding habitat for these insects will also
reduce the fungal spore load inside your home and help freshen the
air. Both of these can enhance health and comfort while greatly
reducing the flying nuisance numbers -- at least until warm weather
comes back and activates outdoor populations.
