Reusable fly trap ACTO : an effective solution to protect your outdoors

The arrival of sunny days is often accompanied by the invasion of flying pests that disturb the tranquility of the terraces and the surroundings of the house. The ACTO fly trap has been developed to provide simple and effective perimeter protection. This mechanical device, designed for outdoor use, allows a large number of insects to be captured without the need for chemical sprays in the air. By targeting the areas where insects pass through and rest, it drastically reduces the population of house flies, while being able to intercept European wasps and hornets depending on the attractant used.

High capture capacity for long-lasting protection

This system is distinguished by its trapping efficiency, capable of reaching up to 800 catches per week when combined with a suitable bait. The principle is based on natural behaviour: attracted by the smell of the attractant, the insects enter the tank through the holes in the lid but are unable to get out. They end up drowning in the liquid solution at the bottom of the container. This trapping cycle helps maintain a healthy area for about a month before requiring cleaning and renewing the solution, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the summer season.

Installation tips and strategic locations

To maximize results, the positioning of the device is a determining factor. It should not be placed directly in the center of the living area (such as on the dining table), but rather on the periphery in order to attract insects away from you. Recommended locations include pool edges, balconies, terrace nooks or entry points around the home. With the included wall mounting accessories, it can be stably installed on a vertical stand or simply placed on a flat surface. It is advisable to increase the number of trapping points if the area to be protected is large.

Instructions for use and management of the attractant

The trap is delivered as a complete kit including the tank, the lid, a protective roof and a specific holder for solid baits. Here are the steps to follow for optimal commissioning:

• Assemble the trap elements according to the desired configuration (freestanding or wall mounting).

• Pour the liquid attractant (sold separately, e.g. yeast ACTO attractant) into the tank.

• For added effectiveness, use the holder under the lid to place solid bait if necessary.

• Check the liquid level twice a week to ensure that evaporation or the number of captures does not prevent the system from working properly.

Maintenance and precautions

The trap must be handled methodically to ensure perfect hygiene. Before opening the tank to empty or refill it, it is imperative to check that all the captured insects are drowned in order to avoid any risk of stings, especially if wasps or hornets are present. The device should be placed out of the reach of children. As with any product related to pest management, it is necessary to read the information on the label carefully. Regular cleaning with clear water between two attractant refills will keep the trap attractive in the long term.

A complete kit for targeted fly control

The MOUCH 11 pack is a modular solution that adapts to the constraints of each exterior. The included roof protects the mixture from rainwater, preventing dilution of the bait and prolonging its olfactory effectiveness. This product is part of a reasoned control approach: it specifically targets flying pests without impacting pollinating insects if the appropriate food attractants are used. Reusable from one year to the next, it represents an economical and practical investment for anyone wishing to repossess their garden or terrace without the nuisance of insects.
