Introduction

We have developed a new motto when it comes to our fly killers, less is more! To achieve MITIE use REACH. REACH stands for Reducing Electricity and Carbon Help.

Research found:

• Too many units were being sold

• Units were in the wrong position, some causing food safety issues

• Incorrect model selection

This results in the energy consumption and servicing costs being higher than necessary. REACH is a scheme to help reduce your carbon footprint and save you money through our Fly Killer units.

REACH

REACH is our good practice process for evaluating the type, quantity and position of fly control units. To enhance the productivity of our fly killing units, we have come up with Translucent Technology (TT).

TT increases the UVA output, creating an improved Fly Catch efficacy. Therefore you use fewer units but gain a higher insect attraction and collection.

The New Cobra Unit

This unit has been designed to emit a more intense UV light not only from the front, but from the tops and sides as well, increasing the overall fly catch. This unit reduces electrical consumption between 30-40%.

This greatly cuts your energy costs and supports your carbon footprint, allowing you to meet targets more easily.

Costs £113.93 / 677kg

a year

Costs £36.58 / 217kg a year The TT Cobra costs much less to run than most models on the market today. You can reduce the number of units required by over 50%, while still increasing food safety. Due to the high tech electronics in Cobra, it produces over 50% less carbon than a similar unit

How does this benefit you?

• Reduce number of units –

• Reduce number of tubes in each unit

• Reduce electrical consumption in each unit – saving approx. 25%

• Reduce number of electrical outlets/ spurs – saving on building costs

• Reduce service time and costs

• Decrease in number of flying insects

• Reduced risk of food & packaging contamination

• Over 30-40% reduction in carbon produced

• Corporate responsibility

• Return of capital investment between 1.5 – 3 years 5

Case Study For one of our clients, the switch over to using a Cobra unit will save them £1.3million over a 10 year period and 6,552 tonnes of carbon. It’s difficult to imagine how much saving that really is. So here are some useful measurements. One tonne of CO2 would:

• fill a typical three bedroom house

• be produced by 4000 car miles consuming

approximately 550 litres of fuel

• be offset by 150 mature (25 years old) pine trees per

year.
