Philips fly killer bulbs are one of the most effective ways of keeping your building free from pesky insects. Fruit flies, moths, and ants can sometimes be intrusive and cause your establishment to have a hit on its overall sanitation level. This is especially true during warmer months when insects typically multiply and are more present in your surroundings.
Business owners have the responsibility of keeping their establishments safe and hygienic. That includes putting up the necessary tools in keeping insects away from their area. Individual homeowners also have the need to protect themselves and their loved ones from insects that could carry diseases.
One common method of killing off bugs and flies is through the use of aerosol sprays. While this can be effective, it might not be applicable to your space due to the following reasons:
- You own a food-related business and spraying insecticide can negatively affect the food you prepare.
- It takes time for sprays to dissipate and have the room safe for humans to be in.
- They typically have strong smells which might not be agreeable to some people e.g. customers and family members who have sensitive noses.
These are only a few of the downsides of using sprays. All of these possible issues can be solved by using fly killers that carry Philip’s UV bulbs. They’re safe, easy to use, and do not cost much in terms of operation and maintenance. All you need to do is install the bulbs to your electric fly killer and you’re good to go.
To make their product line more inclusive, Philips has designed and manufactured UV fly killer bulbs that can fit almost any fly killer size. QBIC carries 6” UV fly killer bulbs and they go up to 24” in size.
Different wattage ratings are also offered in our online store so you can choose which ones are more fitting to your need. As you scroll through, you’ll also find that Philips has 4-pin lamps in their product line, too.
