Gardner AG-970 Electrocutor Insect Trap with 80W UV Grid for Large-Scale Non-Chemical Flying Insect Control

The Gardner AG-970 Electrocutor Insect Trap is a robust industrial-grade device engineered for effective non-chemical flying insect control across large areas, ideal for biotechnology labs and clinical settings seeking contamination-free environments. This trap features an 80-watt UV electrical grid system (2 x 40W bulbs) that attracts insects within a 2,500 sq. ft. range, making it suitable for large laboratory and bioprocessing facility applications requiring stringent pest management.

Constructed from silver aluminum, the unit offers high durability and moisture resistance, suitable for environments with high humidity or moisture such as biotechnology production sites and biomedical engineering labs. It operates continuously on a 120V/60Hz power supply, ensuring compatibility with standard US electrical outlets, and is UL Listed for safety compliance.

The device’s design eliminates the need for chemical attractants or glue boards, permitting uninterrupted 24-hour operation without ongoing replacement costs, critical in molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology research environments where contaminant introduction must be minimized. Recommended installation height is 1-2 feet above ground and positioned away from windows for optimal insect capture efficiency.

Key features include:

This insect trap is widely used in biotechnology, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics laboratories as a critical component for maintaining pest-free controlled environments, supporting workflows in gene editing and live-cell imaging research domains. Its non-chemical approach ensures zero interference with delicate cellular assays and bioprocess integrity.
