PIC FR10B Sticky Fly Ribbons Instruction Manual

Introduction

The PIC FR10B Sticky Fly Ribbons are designed to effectively trap flying insects. This manual provides essential information for the safe and proper use of the product.

Safety Precautions

All pest control items must be kept out of the reach of children and domestic animals.

Caution: The ribbon is very sticky. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. In case of contact, use paint thinner or mineral spirits to remove adhesive.

Setup and Installation

1. If the ribbon is very cold, warm the tube in your hands to facilitate easier removal.
2. Remove the thumbtack from the top of the tube and place it in a secure position for later use.
3. Hold the red loop at the end of the ribbon.
4. Pull the tube downwards slowly with a twirling motion until the ribbon is fully exposed.
5. Hang the ribbon by placing the thumbtack through the red loop.

Operating Instructions

Hang the exposed fly ribbon in areas where flies are a nuisance. The sticky surface will trap flying insects upon contact.

Placement Recommendations

Flies are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. For optimal results, place the ribbon in an area where flies are active.

• If no insects are caught within 2 or 3 days, move the ribbon to another location (further from or closer to a window, etc.) to find a more effective spot.
• Avoid hanging ribbons directly above food or food preparation areas.
• Suitable locations include kitchens, near trash receptacles, barns, stables, patios, and decks.

Disposal

To discard, wrap the used ribbon securely in newspaper, paper, or a plastic bag and dispose of it in a trash receptacle.

Maintenance

The fly ribbon is a disposable product and requires no maintenance other than replacement when full or ineffective.

Troubleshooting

If the fly ribbon is not catching flies, consider the following:

• Location: Flies are attracted to light, warmth, and food sources. Relocate the ribbon to an area with more fly activity or better environmental conditions.
• Temperature: Ensure the ribbon is not in an excessively cold area, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
• Humidity: High humidity might affect the stickiness over time. Replace the ribbon if it appears less sticky.
• Fullness: Replace the ribbon if it is already covered with insects.
