This blog looks at 4 compelling reasons why we believe the Lumnia range is the best on the market for businesses that need protection from flying insects.
Flying insects cause a nuisance for businesses round the world. They’re an extensive - and expensive - problem. With over 120,000 species of fly spreading over 200 different pathogens worldwide, there is clearly a significant risk to businesses. Flies can carry diseases such as Salmonella and E. coli – and due to their short breeding cycles, a small fly problem can very quickly become a big fly infestation. The associated health risks can impact your customers, staff and productivity, and can cause reputational damage to your business.
“Good fly control is essential for every business as flies are capable of transmitting a wide range of pathogens and are one of the most likely insects to cause damage and disruption to a business. To lessen the risk of fly infestations, flies need to be eradicated as quickly as possible. The Lumnia range has a sleek, modern design that is ideal for any environment, and although discreet, also demonstrates the commitment a business has to hygiene.” Mario Pluke, Technical Manager, Rentokil Initial
Having a fly infestation may mean the following
- Absence of staff and loss of productivity due to the spread of disease.
- Customers may become ill, meaning loss of reputation and, therefore, trade.
- Contaminated products mean potential loss of earnings, reputation and future business.
- Increased complaints from customers.
- Business may be prosecuted or fail audits.
With so much at risk, it’s important that measures are taken to prevent fly infestations from impacting your business. But how do you combat an infestation? The Lumnia range from Rentokil provides commercial fly control solutions designed to effectively and hygienically attract, kill and encapsulate flies. It’s the insect light trap (ILT) of choice.
