Selecting An Insect Light Trap Wall Mount, Ceiling Hung, or Portable? |
![]()
Place wall mounted ILTs down low to best catch day-flying insects like the housefly. It is the fly's nature to be below five feet high (even skimming the floor) when they are most responsive to ILTs. Generally speaking, the lower you place a trap, the more responsive flies will be to it.
Ceiling-hung ILTs are the trap of choice for night-fliers. They have a tendency to fly at higher heights in buildings. However, night-fliers exhibit a more intense, relentless response to light than day fliers (think bugs around a porchlight).
