Would the Luralite Cento Plus be safe and effective (against house flies) in a kitchen, hidden on the top of the cabinets?

Answer:

Yes, the Luralite Cento Plus can be used in residential settings such as above cabinets, however most fly lights work best when mounted somewhere between 6 and 7 feet high. Use the tips below to make sure you are assessing your home and placement needs to the best of your ability. 

POSITIONING A FLY LIGHT
Every application is unique, so each situation requires an individual assessment for flylight positioning, however, there are basic principals that should be followed

  • Recommend enough units to cover the area to be protected
  •  Install units away from sources of light competition, such as windows, doors and high powered artificial light sources
  • Consider sources of heat and airflow, such as heaters/AC units
  • Don’t install units directly above sensitive areas, such as food preparation areas
  • Glueboard units should be used in sensitive applications such as food preparation or production areas
  • Consider access for installation and future servicing
  • Wherever possible, flylights should be positioned at 90° to sources of natural light, such as windows, doors and skylights
  • Flylights should be positioned in between potential entry points, so as to intercept flying insects before they reach sensitive areas
  • Flylights should not be installed either too high or too low in the area to be protected, with an optimum height of around 6’7”
