When I bought our house in 2011, I installed a fly trap/killer with two 15 watt UV tubes in the kitchen area because we have a stream running through the garden which attracts a lot of pests.
It's become frustrating to have flies buzzing around the windows completely ignoring the fly catcher trap. The UV tubes are lit up but they're not attracting the pests as they should.
Please could someone who has knowledge of these devices let me know why my trap is being ignored?
Will changing the tubes cure the problem and if so to which type are the best to use?
Are LED tubes available in place of the old style fluorescent type?
It's great to hear another flying pest meet its end by being caught in the high voltage pylon which is in front of the UV tubes
I'd like to see the same set up (high voltage traps) used to protect our bikes from theft but I'll concentrate on the fly killer for now!
Thanks
