Flowtron FA-5000 Fly Lure Strip, Transparent

Supplemental Fly Lure for Flowtron Units

The Flowtron FA-5000 is a transparent supplemental fly lure strip designed to attract flying insects. It serves as a replacement or additional attractant for compatible Flowtron pest control devices. Homeowners and facility managers use it to maintain trap effectiveness during peak insect seasons. The strip format allows for straightforward handling and placement.

Simple Strip Replacement Process

Installation involves removing the spent lure and inserting the new strip into the designated holder on the trap unit. No tools or electrical connections are required for the lure itself. The most common issue is forgetting to replace the strip on schedule, which causes catch rates to drop noticeably. Users should also verify the strip sits securely so airflow passes through it correctly.

Lure Lifespan and Environmental Limits

The attractant gradually loses potency as the active ingredients volatilise, so the strip has a finite effective lifespan outdoors. High temperatures and strong winds can accelerate depletion, reducing the window between replacements. The lure only draws insects toward the trap; it does not kill them without the host device operating. It is not suited for indoor kitchen use or areas where food is prepared.
