Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CATCHMASTER from 3G Electric.
What types of pests do CATCHMASTER glue traps target?
CATCHMASTER glue traps are formulated for both flying and crawling insects, as well as rodents. Specific products target flies, gnats, spiders, and mice. The adhesive boards and trays are non-toxic and rely on physical capture, making them suitable for use in food-handling areas where chemical sprays are prohibited. Always verify the targeted pest group on the product label, as some traps are optimized for specific insect families.
Are CATCHMASTER electronic insect killers suitable for outdoor use?
CATCHMASTER electronic insect killers, such as the Vector30-SP model, are designed for indoor use only. The aluminum housing provides durability, but the electrical components are not weatherproof. For outdoor fly control, CATCHMASTER offers bag traps (e.g., MPN 975-12) that use attractants and do not require electricity. Always check the indoor/outdoor rating on the product specification before installation.
How do I dispose of used CATCHMASTER glue traps?
CATCHMASTER glue traps are non-reusable and should be disposed of according to local waste management regulations. The adhesive is not classified as hazardous, but traps containing captured pests may require handling as biological waste in some jurisdictions. Wear gloves during removal and seal the trap in a plastic bag before disposal. Do not attempt to clean or reuse the glue boards.
What is the coverage area of the CATCHMASTER Vector30-SP electronic insect killer?
The CATCHMASTER Vector30-SP electronic flying insect killer has a maximum coverage area of 1,180 square feet. It operates with two 15-watt UV lamps that attract flying insects to an electrified grid. For optimal performance, place the unit at a height of 4 to 6 feet, away from competing light sources, and replace lamps annually as output degrades over time.
Can CATCHMASTER glue traps be used in cold storage facilities?
CATCHMASTER glue traps are generally rated for indoor use, but adhesive performance can degrade at low temperatures. In cold storage environments below 40°F (4°C), the glue may become brittle and less effective. For such applications, consider using traps with a wider temperature tolerance or consult the product datasheet for specific operating ranges. The brand does not publish cold-weather specifications for all models.
