When flying insects are a real threat to your operation — not just a nuisance — you need a trap built for the job. The Gardner AG-969 delivers 100 watts of UV-powered insect control across up to 3,000 square feet, running silently around the clock without chemicals, glueboards, or guesswork. Built from shatterproof aluminum, it's the workhorse solution trusted in agriculture, poultry, and large-scale commercial environments.
Why the Gardner AG-969
Most insect traps are designed for homes or small retail spaces — the AG-969 is engineered for demanding industrial and agricultural environments where insect pressure is constant and the stakes are high. With four 25-watt UV lamps, a 3,000 sq. ft. attraction range, and a shatterproof aluminum housing, this unit is built to run continuously without the recurring cost of glueboards or chemical treatments. It's FDA & USDA accepted and UL listed, making it compliant for regulated facilities right out of the box.
Unlike disposable or consumer-grade traps, the AG-969 is a long-term infrastructure investment — backed by a 2-year warranty and designed to integrate seamlessly into professional pest management programs.
Key Benefits
- 100W UV Insect Attraction: Four 25-watt energy-efficient UV lamps draw flying insects from up to 3,000 sq. ft. for maximum coverage in large spaces.
- 24-Hour Non-Chemical Trapping: Operates continuously without pesticides, glueboards, or chemical refills — safer for workers, animals, and produce.
- No Glueboard Replacement Cost: Eliminates the ongoing expense and labor of glueboard-based systems, reducing total cost of ownership.
- Shatterproof Aluminum Construction: Silver aluminum housing is durable, easy to clean, and safe for food-adjacent environments.
- FDA & USDA Accepted / UL Listed: Meets regulatory requirements for use in food production, processing, and agricultural facilities.
- 2-Year Warranty: Gardner stands behind the AG-969 with a full two-year warranty for peace of mind in commercial deployments.
Use Cases
- Poultry Facilities: Mount in barns and processing areas to reduce fly pressure on flocks and maintain sanitary conditions year-round.
- Greenhouse & Indoor Agriculture: Protect crops from fungus gnats, whiteflies, and other flying pests without introducing chemicals into the grow environment.
- Dock Bays & Warehouses: Control insect entry points in high-traffic loading areas where doors are frequently open.
- Stadiums & Large Venues: Deploy in concession areas, kitchens, and storage rooms to meet health code requirements at scale.
- Food Processing Plants: Maintain FDA/USDA compliance in production areas where chemical pest control is restricted or prohibited.
- Commercial Grow Operations: Integrate into IPM (Integrated Pest Management) programs as a non-toxic, always-on monitoring and trapping layer.
Directions for Use
- Mount the unit at a height of 5–6 feet for optimal insect attraction in most environments.
- Position away from competing light sources (windows, overhead fluorescents) to maximize UV lamp effectiveness.
- Plug into a standard 115V/60Hz outlet using the included 6-foot cord.
- For best results, run continuously — the AG-969 is designed for 24/7 operation.
- Inspect and empty the catch tray regularly based on insect pressure in your facility.
- Replace UV lamps annually or when attraction performance noticeably declines.
What Growers Are Saying
"We installed two AG-969 units in our poultry barn last spring and the difference was immediate. Fly counts dropped dramatically within the first week — no chemicals, no hassle."
— Marcus T., Commercial Poultry Farmer
"Running a 10,000 sq. ft. greenhouse means insect pressure is constant. The Gardner traps have become a core part of our IPM program. Durable, reliable, and zero ongoing chemical cost."
— Diane R., Commercial Greenhouse Operator
"Our food processing facility needed something FDA-compliant that could run 24/7 without staff intervention. The AG-969 checks every box. We've had ours running for over a year without a single issue."
— Kevin S., Facility Manager, Food Production
