Insect Catches

Product Code : SCL115/1.6

Insect Catches (Product Code: SCL115/1.6) is an electric insect catcher that uses two high-intensity ultraviolet tubes to attract flying insects into the device, where they contact a high-voltage, electrically charged metal grid and are killed instantly. It helps keep laboratories, prep rooms, stores and similar indoor spaces clear of flies, mosquitoes and other flying bugs. Buyers who source from a laboratory equipment supplier in India can order it with their other lab items from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, which manufactures it.

Typical Use

Flies and mosquitoes drifting around a biology lab can land on open culture work, dissection specimens or food-science samples, and they are a nuisance during long practical sessions. Mounting this catcher on a wall or placing it on a high shelf lets the UV light draw insects away from benches, so the room stays cleaner without spraying insecticide near students and samples. It is a sensible addition during a biology lab setup for a school in India, particularly where windows are opened for ventilation.

Position the unit away from brighter competing light sources and out of the reach of students, since the grid carries high voltage. Switch it off and unplug it before emptying or brushing out the collected insects, and never push fingers or objects through the guard. This device kills insects; if you need live insects for observation or classification, use a net and a ventilated viewing container instead.
