Operating Instructions
The ASPECTEK Sticky Dome Flea Trap operates by attracting fleas and other insects using a combination of factors:
- Light Attraction: The warm light emitted by the bulb mimics a heat source, drawing insects towards the trap.
- Heat Emission: The heat generated by the bulb further enhances the attraction, as fleas are drawn to warmth.
- Sweet Odor: The sticky disc may contain a subtle sweet odor to further lure pests.
Once attracted, insects jump or crawl onto the super grabber sticky disc and become permanently trapped.
Placement Recommendations
- Place the trap in areas where flea activity is observed, such as near pet bedding, carpets, or furniture.
- The trap is effective up to 50 feet in all directions. For larger areas or multiple problem spots, use multiple traps.
- Ensure the trap is placed on a flat, stable surface.
- For optimal results, operate the trap continuously, especially during peak flea seasons.
