Silent Glue-Board Insect Catchers for Food & Pharma Zones

A glue-board insect catcher is a silent, food-safe alternative to an electric bug zapper. Warm-spectrum UV-A tubes (peak 365 nm) attract flying insects onto a replaceable adhesive board that holds the specimen in place. No grid, no zap sound, no falling debris — the preferred layout for pharma, hospital and premium-kitchen environments.

Glue-board (SAFE) for cleanrooms, pharma fill rooms, hospital pharmacies, and FSSAI-critical food-prep zones. Electric-grid (ZAP) for warehouses, banquet halls, open dining rooms, and loading docks. Many food sites use both: ZAP in dining, SAFE over the prep counter. When in doubt, ask the auditor first.

AERSTER SAFE 20W starts at ₹3,200 for a 600 sq ft reception or small café. SAFE 30W (HACCP-compliant 1,000 sq ft) is ₹4,200. SAFE 40W at ₹5,500 covers commercial kitchens up to 1,500 sq ft. SAFE PRO 60W for pharma Schedule M rooms is ₹6,500. All prices exclude 18 % GST; ITC available for GST-registered buyers.

Yes — glue-board catchers are in fact the HACCP-preferred pest-control device for food-contact zones because they eliminate debris fallout from electric grids. AERSTER SAFE carries FSSAI Schedule 4 Clause 3.3 compliance documentation and ships with a monthly-cleaning audit-log template.

Yes — SAFE PRO 60W is specifically engineered for WHO-GMP Schedule M fill rooms, hospital pharmacies and ISO Class 7/8 cleanrooms. It ships with IQ/OQ/PQ installation protocols, a sealed collection chamber, SS304 construction and a batch-traceable material certificate. This is the AERSTER unit for regulated pharma environments.

Active food-zone boards saturate in 4 – 6 weeks; office / reception boards last 8 – 10 weeks. A board at 80 % capture stops holding new insects, so swap before visible full-board. Replacement pairs cost ₹180 – 320. AERSTER AMC plans automate this with a stamped service log.

Coverage is UV-wattage-linked: 20W → 600 sq ft, 30W → 1,000 sq ft, 40W → 1,500 sq ft, 60W PRO → 2,000 sq ft. Walls block UV line-of-sight, so size per sub-room. Partitioned facilities typically need multiple smaller units rather than one large one.

Yes — AERSTER SAFE measures under 15 dB, below the threshold of human hearing in a normal room. There is no electric grid, no crackle, no insect-kill sound. This is the category you want for hotel front-of-house, hospital OPDs, premium patisseries, and any environment where noise is a brand consideration.

Wall-mount at 1.8 – 2.0 m AFF (lower than electric zappers, because glue-board targets fly cruising height 1.2 – 1.8 m). Place 3 m from food-contact surfaces, avoid back-wall placement where door drafts push insects past the unit, and never behind a column breaking UV line-of-sight.

Yes — all AERSTER SAFE units use coated shatter-proof UV-A tubes certified for food-contact zones. If the glass does fail, the coating contains all fragments inside the tube body. This is a hard FSSAI and HACCP requirement — check for it on every pest-control purchase.

Not mandatory, but recommended for HACCP/Schedule M sites where auditable service logs matter. AERSTER AMC plans from ₹1,199/year cover 12 monthly board swaps, annual UV replacement and a stamped service log. Food-safety consultants cite the log as the most common audit ask.

Yes. AERSTER bills SAFE units under HSN 8543 at 18 % GST. Registered businesses can claim full ITC on the tax component. We ship a GST-compliant e-invoice with every order and support HSN-wise reporting for multi-site procurement teams.
