It is important to trap the fly insect by a wave in long distance, and trap by light in short distance then kill them by high-voltage electrocuted networks outside around which is safe to a human being as it has small current. In view of biological nature of pest on light, wave, color attraction, the design is such that the special light source whose wavelength is 390nm-600nm. It costs Rs.6500/- only.
How it works
The insect drop into the collection Tray. It work on the solar power. To trap the fly insect by a wave in long distance and also to trap by light in short distance to kill the insect through the high voltage electrocuted networks, which is safe for the human beings because the current is very less and small for the human.
The specialty of the device is that it attracts the pests which causes harm to the crop. While preparing the solar insect trap, the behavior of the insects has been kept in mind.
