How Apuro Bug Zappers Work
Apuro Bug Zappers use high-intensity UV light to attract flying insects. Here’s what happens:
-
The UV light draws flies and insects toward the unit
-
They reach the internal electric grid
-
They are instantly neutralised
-
The insect remains fall into an easy-clean collection tray
This provides chemical-free, food-safe, continuous protection.
