Insect killers
MO-EL pest control products are the result of 40 years of experience. The capture system has been designed based on the behavioral habits of mosquitoes, flies, and other flying insects.
WE STUDY INSECT HABITS TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE ELECTRIC INSECTICIDES
Insects need a humid habitat to survive dehydration and lay eggs. MO-EL attraction systems emit light at a frequency of 365nm, which replicates their ideal habitat. Harmless to people, this light is irresistible to flies, bugs, and mosquitoes, which become trapped once attracted.
MO-EL electric insecticides do not harm the environment because they capture insects without using chemicals, relying solely on the attractive power of light. All lamps are electric, using either traditional tubes or LEDs, and eliminate harmful insects using three different capture methods: ELECTRIC SHOCK, SUCTION, and GLUE PANEL.
Product safety is not solely based on CE certification but is also ensured by independent laboratories such as IMQ, UL, INTERTEK, and TUV.
Effectiveness is proven by field tests conducted by researchers from the University of Bologna.
MO-EL products do not emit toxic substances and do not use chemical additives. They capture flying insects while respecting the environment and their natural predators like spiders, toads, geckos, and other small animals.
They are effective against Diptera, such as Aedes, Anopheles, and other mosquitoes (Culicoidea), as well as flies, bugs, horseflies, and midges. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in a humid and dark place, where they can mature safely and are protected from dehydration.
During their early life stages, insects avoid sunlight to escape the risk of fatal dehydration. Nature causes young insects to wait until nightfall to emerge, guiding their instincts primarily towards ultraviolet rays.
Experiments have shown that in the first hour of life, a very high percentage of newborns are captured by traps due to the attraction of ultraviolet light, and nearly all specimens are captured within the first two hours. This attraction tends to decrease as the insect matures. When the female is finally ready to lay eggs, her instinct guides her to seek confined, humid, and cool places, where she knows the eggs are protected from both predators and sunlight, and where they can remain in optimal conditions until hatching. It is at this moment that the instinct further directs insects towards UV-A.
An effective pest control campaign should start at the beginning of spring, thus eliminating insects as they hatch. Continuous use will reduce the population of young insects, preventing them from reproducing later.
HOW TO POSITION ELECTRIC INSECTICIDES
Optimal placement involves positioning the electric insecticides in a location that is somewhat removed from frequently occupied areas. For effective attraction of daytime insects, the devices should be placed in dim light rather than full illumination. If multiple devices are used in the same area, they should be spaced according to their range of action, as indicated in the usage recommendations for each device.
It is best to keep the devices away from fans, air conditioners, or light-colored walls, as air currents or light reflections may interfere with their attracting power. Place the devices at an appropriate height. The best performance is achieved when the devices are 2-3 meters above the floor for flies, bugs, and mosquitoes.
The Asian tiger mosquito typically flies below one meter in height, so for Aedes albopictus, it is preferable to position the traps directly on the ground.
