December in Mauritius is a time of celebration, with full hotels, bustling restaurants, wedding venues, seaside bars, and villas at maximum occupancy.
But it also brings something far less festive: a surge in mosquitoes, flies and other flying insects.

Hot, humid weather + rainfall + peak tourism season = a perfect storm for pests.
For hospitality owners, this isn’t just a nuisance… It’s a direct threat to guest experience, hygiene ratings, and brand reputation.

That’s why more hospitality operators in Mauritius are turning to professional-grade, chemical-free insect light traps (ILTs) like the Genus ILLUME and COBRA Electronic Fly Catchers.

Why Flying-Insect Control Matters More Than Ever in Mauritius

Whether you manage a hotel, beach resort, restaurant, guesthouse, villa, or event venue, December brings increased challenges:

  • More mosquitoes → More guest complaints

Nothing disrupts a romantic dinner or luxury stay like buzzing mosquitoes or biting pests.

  • More flies → Food hygiene risks

Outdoor buffets, beach bars, and open-air restaurants attract flies, jeopardizing food-safety compliance (HACCP).

  • Higher occupancy → Less margin for error

A single negative review about insects can impact booking rates during high season.

Your environment needs professional, discreet, and reliable protection.

GENUS ILLUME

The Stylish, Front-of-House Fly Catcher Perfect for Guest Areas

The Genus ILLUME was created specifically for upscale spaces where design matters just as much as performance.

Why hospitality venues love it

  • Elegant & modern design – looks like a decorative wall light
  • Silent & discreet – no zapping, no visible insects
  • Perfect for front-of-house – lobbies, dining rooms, lounges, hotel corridors
  • Chemical-free & safe – uses UV light + hidden glue board
  • Multiple finishes (white, black, stainless, brass) to suit your décor
  • Protects guest areas without ruining the ambience

This is the perfect solution when you want effective insect control without reminding guests it’s there.

GENUS COBRA

The Heavy-Duty Back-of-House Fly Catcher for Kitchens & Food Areas

The Genus COBRA is engineered for maximum capture performance—ideal for places where hygiene is non-negotiable.

Why it’s a favourite in commercial kitchens

  • High-power UVA output for fast, high-volume insect attraction
  • Glue-board system keeps insects intact (HACCP-compliant)
  • Silent & hygienic – no electric zapping
  • Available in high-protection variants for wet or wash-down areas
  • Easy maintenance – quick-release cover & replaceable boards
  • Ideal for kitchens, dishwashing zones, food-prep counters & buffets

If your kitchen staff battles flies during the December heat, the COBRA is the professional-grade solution you need.
