Pestfix said:

When first released in the UK by PestFix in October 2021, the X-Trap 50 was proven to be the best LED UV EFK when tested against the leading brands in independent third-party testing. Testing showed that the X-Trap 50 had a faster catch rate for all fly species and was the only unit that killed 100% of flies.

Working with their Dutch manufacturers, the unit now boasts its advanced AstronUV LED II bulbs. These new bulbs again underwent independent third-party testing with significant results showing a 35% increase in fly attractant effectiveness and 20% more energy savings.

The X-Trap 50 is an incredibly popular insect light trap amongst pest management professionals due to its fast no nonsense servicing. Our customers have said to me how they can install an X-Trap 50 onto their clients site and walk away confident. Knowling that the only unexpected call from their client will be when the glue boards have filled up quicker than anticipated.

Juile Pratt, Sales Account Manager, PestFix
