ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Ecolab Inc., the global leader in water, hygiene and energy technologies
and services that protect people and vital resources, introduces the
Ecolab Large Fly Program, a comprehensive global program from Ecolab
Pest Elimination that utilizes an outside-in approach and innovative
technology to help reduce the food safety risks associated with large
flies.
Ecolab’s Large Fly Program offers a multi-faceted approach that
proactively addresses fly activity through ongoing inspections and
recommendations, exterior and interior treatments and the use of
proprietary technology and science both inside and outside the facility.
“Our program combines science-based protocols created by
industry-leading experts, proprietary equipment and our personally
delivered service to help eliminate the food safety and brand risks
associated with large flies and improve guest satisfaction,” said Ron
Jungmann, vice president of Global Research, Development and Engineering
(RD&E) for Ecolab Pest Elimination.
The Ecolab Large Fly Program includes use of the patent-pending STEALTH™
LED Fly Light, which matches best-in-class efficacy with safety and
sustainability to reduce the risks associated with large flies in a
customer’s facility. Designed to use up to 60 percent less energy than
comparable models, this modern yet discreet design is suited for use in
both the front- and back-of-house in restaurants and foodservice
facilities. The Ecolab Large Fly Program can also be customized to meet
the specific needs of lodging and long-term care properties, food and
beverage plants, and other facilities.
Ecolab’s RD&E team developed the STEALTH LED Fly Light through extensive
testing of fly behavior and evaluation of environmental characteristics
to understand how flies respond to light. By studying flies under field
conditions and in controlled environments, they gained a new
understanding of fly exploration behavior and utilized these findings to
develop the STEALTH LED Fly Light. Used in combination with other
solutions as part of Ecolab’s outside-in approach, the STEALTH LED Fly
Light is the last line of defense against large flies that do manage to
enter a customer’s facility.
The STEALTH LED Fly Light was awarded a 2017 Kitchen Innovation Award by
the National Restaurant Association in the U.S.
