Insect control is a critical requirement in food processing, warehousing, and hygiene-sensitive environments. Uncontrolled insect entry poses risks to product integrity, compliance, and workplace safety.
Fly strips and PVC barrier systems provide a practical, non-chemical method of reducing pest ingress.
What Are Fly Strips?
Fly strips are flexible PVC curtain systems designed to deter flying insects while maintaining access. They are commonly installed at doorways, loading bays, and internal access points.
How PVC Barriers Deter Insects
The overlapping PVC strips create both a physical and visual barrier that insects are reluctant to pass through. This significantly reduces fly movement without restricting airflow or staff movement.
Food Safety and Compliance Benefits
Fly strip systems support hygiene programs and assist facilities in meeting food safety standards. They are widely used alongside HACCP-based pest management plans.
Maintenance and Longevity
Regular cleaning maintains transparency and effectiveness. Individual strips can be replaced as required, making maintenance cost-effective.
