Eazyzap FD498-A Large 24W LED Commercial Fly Killer | 150m² 10A

The Eazyzap FD498-A Large 24W LED Commercial Fly Killer is a high-efficiency electric insect control system engineered specifically for Australian commercial kitchens, bakeries, butcheries, cafes, restaurants, food packaging plants, and warehouse prep areas. Measuring 650 mm Wide x 86 mm Deep x 320 mm High and weighing just 3.4 kg, this slimline unit provides an expansive 150 m² pest coverage zone to eliminate flying insects, flies, and fruit gnats before they compromise open food preparation lines. Fitted with two high-output energy-saving LED UV tubes rated for over 10,000 hours of continuous operational life, an electrified high-voltage eradication grid, a removable slide-out collection drawer, and a supplied ceiling/wall hanging chain, the FD498-A delivers hygienic insect eradication on a standard 10A plug-and-play electrical connection.

Why Australian commercial venues choose the Eazyzap FD498-A:

• Expansive 150m² pest eradication zone — wide-spectrum ultraviolet attraction perimeter actively lures houseflies, blowflies, mosquitoes, and gnats away from customer dining areas, servery lines, and raw food prep benches.

• Low-power, high-longevity LED technology — dual high-efficiency LED tubes offer a working lifespan exceeding 10,000 hours, cutting annual bulb replacement overheads and drawing significantly less electricity than traditional fluorescent tube bug zappers.

• Discreet slide-out catch tray — fitted with a deep, hygienic lower collection drawer that catches insect husks, preventing fragments from dropping onto kitchen surfaces while allowing swift, mess-free emptying during end-of-shift cleans.

• Versatile hanging & mounting setup — comes supplied with a heavy-duty suspension chain for overhead hanging, can be placed freestanding on countertops, or suspended near food delivery bays and dark entry corridors.

• Food safety and environmental compliance — provides chemical-free, non-toxic flying pest suppression to maintain compliance with Australian Food Safety Standard 3.2.2 requirements regarding pest exclusion.

• User-friendly control interface — accessible side-mounted On/Off rocker switch lets staff power off the unit during scheduled sanitisation or when the kitchen is closed, extending tube life and saving power.

• Standard 10A plug-and-play installation — economical total power draw operates from standard Australian single-phase 240V mains power with a factory-fitted 10 Amp wall plug, requiring zero specialised wiring.

Placement, Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

To achieve maximum insect catch rates and comply with food safety inspection audits:

1. Strategic Placement: Position the fly killer in the darkest area of the room or along internal entry paths, away from direct sunlight and competing bright interior downlights. Flies are attracted to the highest point of UV contrast.

2. Food Prep Separation: Never mount the unit directly above open food preparation surfaces, unwrapped display cases, cooking equipment, or dish drying racks. Install it adjacent to entrances, waste collection rooms, or dry storage corridors to intercept pests before they reach prep stations.

3. Emptying the Catch Tray: Slide out the bottom insect collection drawer at the end of each shift (or daily during peak summer seasons), empty husks into a waste bin, and wipe clean with a food-safe sanitiser.

4. Grid Maintenance: Always switch off and unplug the unit prior to cleaning. Use a dry, soft-bristled non-conductive brush to clear insect debris clinging to the high-voltage interior grid. Never spray water or chemical cleaners directly onto the live metal electrification grid.

5. Bulb Replacement: While LED tubes boast a 10,000+ hour operating life (more than double traditional fluorescent tubes), replace bulbs when UV output dims to preserve maximum insect attraction.

Freight & Delivery Notice

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are LED bug zappers more economical than traditional fluorescent units?

Traditional fluorescent UV tubes typically lose their effective insect-attracting wavelength after 3,000 to 5,000 hours of continuous use and draw significantly more wattage. The Eazyzap FD498-A utilises advanced LED technology that maintains optimal UV attraction for upwards of 10,000 operating hours while drawing minimal power, reducing replacement lamp costs and power bills.

Where is the best place to position the fly killer in a commercial kitchen?

The unit performs best when installed away from competing light sources, such as open windows or bright downlights, as darkness increases the visual impact of the ultraviolet LED tubes. To comply with environmental health standards, mount the unit near backdoors, delivery docks, or garbage airlocks, and avoid mounting it directly over exposed food preparation benches or unpackaged ingredients.

Can the unit be mounted on the wall or hung from the ceiling?

Yes. The Eazyzap FD498-A includes a heavy-duty suspension chain for ceiling hanging, allowing you to position it at the ideal height of 2 to 2.5 metres above the floor where flies naturally congregate. It can also be rested securely on a high, level countertop or equipment ledge.

Does the catch tray prevent dead insects from falling onto the floor?

Yes. The unit features a deep, slide-out collection drawer at its base that catches insect husks as they drop from the high-voltage grid. The drawer slides out smoothly without needing tools, preventing insect fragments from blowing onto kitchen floors or prep areas.

What electrical outlet is required?

The Eazyzap FD498-A draws low power (approx. 20W to 24W) and operates on standard Australian 240V single-phase power. It comes factory-fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and lead, allowing immediate connection to any standard commercial or domestic wall socket.
