Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DYNATRAP from 3G Electric.
What types of flying insects do DYNATRAP traps target?
DYNATRAP traps are designed for flying insects, with specific models targeting gnats, moths, and mosquitoes. The bait board traps (e.g., DT3007W, DT3007) are effective against gnats and moths, while the mosquito and insect traps (e.g., DT2030, DT1130) use UV light to attract mosquitoes and other flying pests. Glue cards (e.g., 230093) are versatile for moths and can be used indoors or outdoors. Always check the product specifications for targeted insects, as coverage varies by model.
What is the coverage area of DYNATRAP mosquito traps?
DYNATRAP mosquito and insect traps offer coverage areas up to 43,560 sq ft for the DT2030 model and 21,780 sq ft for the DT1130 model. These figures represent maximum coverage under optimal conditions, such as open outdoor spaces with minimal obstructions. For indoor use, effective coverage may be reduced due to walls and furniture. The traps use a 5.5 W UV lamp to attract insects, and placement should be away from competing light sources for best results.
Are DYNATRAP replacement bulbs interchangeable between models?
No, DYNATRAP replacement bulbs are model-specific. For example, the 32050 bulb (6 W, 9 in height) fits the 488V10 trap, while the 21050 bulb (9 W, 6 in height) fits the 488V09 trap. The 41050 bulb (7 W, 5.25 in height) is for the 488V06 model. Using the wrong bulb may affect performance or damage the unit. Always match the manufacturer part number (e.g., 32050, 21050, 41050) to your trap model when ordering replacements.
Can DYNATRAP glue cards be used outdoors?
Yes, DYNATRAP glue cards (e.g., SKU 488V16, MPN 230093) are rated for indoor/outdoor use. They are paper-based traps that capture flying insects like moths without electricity or chemicals. For outdoor use, place them in sheltered areas to avoid rain or direct moisture, which can reduce adhesive effectiveness. The cards come in packs of 6 and are designed for easy replacement. They are not weatherproof, so exposure to heavy rain may require more frequent changes.
What maintenance do DYNATRAP electronic insect killers require?
DYNATRAP electronic insect killers, such as the DT2030 and DT1130, require periodic replacement of the UV bulbs (typically every 3,000 hours or as specified) to maintain attraction efficiency. The collection tray or glue board should be cleaned or replaced when full. For bait board traps (e.g., DT3007W), replace the bait board according to the manufacturer's schedule. No other routine maintenance is needed, but ensure the unit is kept dry and free of debris for outdoor models.
Are DYNATRAP traps safe for use in food processing areas?
DYNATRAP traps are non-toxic and do not use chemical insecticides, making them suitable for food processing areas where chemical contamination is a concern. Indoor models like the DT3007W bait board trap and glue cards (230093) are designed for indoor use and can be placed in kitchens, storage areas, or production floors. However, ensure traps are positioned away from direct food contact surfaces and follow local hygiene regulations. UV-light traps should be placed where they do not attract insects from outside.
