Imagine a perfect summer night. You are sitting on a terrace with your friends, eating good food from your grill, having fun, and forgetting all your worries. But then you hear a buzz that is approaching dramatically. And the battle against time begins. You are looking at your shoulders, wrists, and legs. And before you can find out which parts of your body your opponent landed on, he's already able to suck your blood. Did you know that you can easily avoid similar, slightly horror, cases?
Many types of insect traps
Insect traps, that you will find in our offer, can be divided into two main categories – electric and classic ones. There are more and more various types of insect traps. Small electric traps work on the principle of LED lighting, which is connected to the network. Insects are lured in because of a charming light that they can't resist. However, bulky electric insect repellents, which work with UV radiation, are also a perfect option. Their biggest advantage is the size of the area, which more easily captures the uninvited guest of your celebration. We can't forget about outdoor LED lamps with a built-in trap, solar traps, which save you the pain of high electricity bills, or traps that can be recharged using a USB cable.
Quiet, safe, and odorless
The insect repellents in our offer are characterized by being quiet and completely safe. They also do not produce the odor you may know from the different types of fumes and scented candles, which may work to some extent, but at the cost of making you and your visitor feel a weird stench all evening. You can forget about that with traps from us. And you should rather treat yourself to the smell of freshly grilled vegetables.
How to choose the right insect trap
Before getting into details, we need to add that the insect traps are not only for mosquitos. It also traps annoying flies, wasps, moths, and other small troublemakers. Before deciding which traps to choose for your terrace, we will help you answer a few basic questions that may come to your mind.
1. How do insect traps work?
As we have briefly mentioned, some of the traps work in conjunction with electricity, the other do not require it. Powerful electric traps contain UV tubes (fluorescent bulbs) or LED lighting. Insect traps first attract the insect to their light. And after contact with the internal grids, which are under high voltage, the insects die. In our offer, you will find products not only for your home, but also for traveling, such as this one. The function of insect traps is not only practical. They really also work as lighting. For some of them, you can even change the light intensity and use other functions, because they can be controlled independently.
2. What is the range of the trap?
The range of especially electric traps reaches values from 30 to 150 square meters. So the calculation is quite simple - adjust it to the size of the area on which you plan to use it. If it is not sufficient, the solution is a trap with a larger range or purchasing a larger number of traps. This will create a strike group through which no buzzing mosquito will pass you.
3. How about the maintenance?
The maintenance of insect traps is simple. In their lower part you will find a removable and perfectly washable tray, which piles up captured insects. So you'll have it clean again in a minute. All insect traps in our offer are environmentally friendly and do not contain any chemicals. And we can't forget that most traps get a three-year warranty from us.
4. Can I leave the trap outside?
Although insect traps are scratch and corrosion resistant, so they will look new for a long time, most (you will find exceptions in our offer) have a lower level of IP protection, so move them, at the end of the evening, somewhere where it won't rain on them or damage them. Alternatively, you can hang some of the traps, which contain a hook, under the roof of your terrace without worrying about the storage at all.
5. Can I get a replacement light for the trap?
For some yes. You can read about it in the description of the selected product.
Do you already have your trap in the basket? Believe us, your summer parties will now remain undisturbed and the terrace will be available only to invited guests. And you can start making it more beautiful, for example, with new lighting. You can look forward to an article about terrace lighting soon.
