To effectively eliminate flying insects such as flies, mosquitoes, midges, wasps and horseflies, these insect-killers operate without chemicals. Powerful fluorescent tubes emit ultraviolet light. This light attracts insects towards a high-voltage metal grille or an adhesive board that traps them.<\/p>\n

Principle of operation<\/h2>\n

Flying insects are attracted by the light emitted by the fluorescent tube.<\/p>\n

Electric insect-killers use an electrified grille to kill insects as they pass through. The insects are then collected in a tray.<\/p>\n

With adhesive insect-killers, insects are trapped on a sticky board placed near the tube. This method also captures very small insects in a clean and effective way.<\/p>\n

Effectiveness<\/h2>\n

Tournus insect killers offer several advantages:<\/p>\n

The coating, the electrocution grille and the collection drawer are made of stainless steel. This ensures durability and long service life.<\/p>\n

Actinic UV tubes provide long-lasting performance. They retain 80% of their effectiveness after 5000 hours of use, compared to around 3000 hours for standard tubes.<\/p>\n

Clean and safe design<\/h2>\n

An external protective grille covers the live components and prevents accidental contact.<\/p>\n

When the outer grille is opened, the system automatically cuts the power. The current remains limited to 9 mA, which eliminates any risk of electrocution.<\/p>\n

Hygiene<\/h2>\n

Adhesive insect killers operate silently. They do not produce sparks, insect bursts or projections. The adhesive boards are odour-free and last around 4 weeks in summer, depending on insect levels.<\/p>\n

Wide choice<\/h2>\n

Tournus offers 7 models ranging from 15 W to 80 W. They cover rooms from 40 to 180 m\u00b2. Units are available in wall-mounted or suspended versions.<\/p>\n

Actinic tubes<\/h2>\n

For best performance, replace the actinic tubes every spring. They are easy to change by removing the outer grille with a screwdriver. Tubes are available individually or in packs.<\/p>\n

Adhesive boards<\/h2>\n

Adhesive boards can be replaced without tools. They are positioned vertically in the central section of the device. Wall-mounted models use one board, while suspended models use two boards placed back to back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
