Problems solved by technology

However, an insect trap that includes fluorescent tubes and a transformer that supplies power to the fluorescent tubes would be too large to fit anywhere an insect trap is needed, and would be too expensive to be used by everyone in the house. The room is provided with an insect trap
Additionally, insects can come into contact with the fluorescent tubes, which over time can collect dust and insect debris, blocking the light and reducing the effectiveness of the traps
Additionally, it can be difficult to remove and replace the adhesive sheet without touching the adhesive and trapped insects
