InnoFly™ is Innovative Pest Management's professional UV flying insect control programme using commercial-grade glue board capture units. It is fundamentally different from electric fly zappers in one critical way: electric zappers kill insects via electrocution, which causes the insect body to fragment, scattering insect particles up to 1.5 metres from the unit into the surrounding environment, including food preparation surfaces. This is why electric zappers are not approved for use in food contact areas under HACCP and SFA guidelines. InnoFly™ units attract flying insects with UV light and capture them whole on a sticky glue board inside the unit. No fragmentation. No particles. Insects are contained and removed during the regular service visit.

Yes. Glue board UV flying insect light traps (FILTs) are the standard recommended method for flying insect control in food preparation and food contact environments under HACCP principles. The glue board system produces no insect fragmentation, no chemical contamination and no aerosol dispersal, making it compatible with food safety requirements. The InnoFly™ programme additionally generates written catch reports with species identification and count data on every service visit, which is the documentation your HACCP auditor or SFA inspector will request as evidence of an active flying insect management programme.

Yes. InnoFly™ units operate silently and continuously without requiring any downtime in your kitchen. They produce no odour, no aerosol and no noise. Your kitchen team does not need to stop work, leave the area or cover food during unit operation or during the service visit. The service technician replaces the glue board and cleans the unit in a few minutes without disrupting kitchen operations.

The catch analysis from each replaced glue board identifies what flying insect species were captured and in what volume. This data serves several purposes. First, species identification can indicate the source of flying insect pressure: a high blowfly count may indicate a drain or waste issue; a high fruit fly count may indicate produce storage problems. Second, count trends over time show whether your InnoFly™ programme is reducing flying insect pressure or whether it is increasing, allowing intervention before a problem becomes a compliance failure. Third, SFA inspectors and HACCP auditors require documented evidence that flying insect management is being actively conducted at your premises. The InnoFly™ service report provides exactly this documentation with species data, count data and service dates.

Unit count depends on floor area, ceiling height, the number of entry points (doors, windows, loading bay access), ambient lighting conditions and the type of flying insect pressure at your site. Each commercial UV unit covers approximately 80 to 120 square metres under standard kitchen conditions. Our technician will survey your premises and provide a specific unit placement plan with a site map. The plan will identify how many units are needed, exactly where each unit should be positioned, and the service frequency appropriate for your volume of operations.

Standard service frequency for commercial kitchens and food premises is monthly. High-volume environments such as hotel banquet kitchens, central production facilities or premises with high flying insect pressure may require fortnightly servicing. During each visit, the glue board is replaced, the unit interior is cleaned, UV tube output is checked (UV tubes typically require replacement after 8,000 operating hours, approximately once per year) and the catch data is documented. The service report is issued at the end of each visit.
