Introduction: A Quest for Beautiful and Effective Fly Control
The journey to create the FLYght Deco began with a simple yet profound question:
“Why can’t small spaces have beautiful flycatchers?”
This question sparked a collaboration between Giridhar Pai Associates (GPA) and Pestroniks Innovations Pte. Ltd., a partnership that spanned several years and resulted in the birth of the FLYght Deco. This innovative uplighter also functions as a highly effective flycatcher.
The Challenge: Unsightly Fly Catchers in Stylish Spaces
Anyone who has spent time in a well-designed small space – a cosy café, an elegant boutique, or a welcoming office reception – has likely encountered the jarring presence of a traditional flycatcher.
These devices often disrupt the carefully curated ambience with their harsh blue light, the disturbing zapping of electric fly killers, or the unappealing display of trapped insects on glue boards.
While manufacturers have attempted to address this issue by offering smaller fly killers and catchers, these options stand out like a sore thumb in stylish environments.
The problem wasn’t a lack of demand for aesthetically pleasing fly control solutions; business owners lacked a viable choice.
The Solution: A Collaborative Innovation
When the directors of Pestroniks Innovations – Shyam Gopinath, Shankar Seetharam, and Carl Baptista – embarked on the project to create a compact version of their successful FLYght UV LED flycatcher, they were determined to break the mould.
Their approach was defined by a clear vision of what *not* to do.
The development process involved rigorous experimentation with multiple designs and extensive fly catch testing of prototypes.
This dedication and perseverance ultimately led to the FLYght Deco, a flycatcher designed to integrate seamlessly into any décor.
What Makes the FLYght Deco Different?
The FLYght Deco effectively tackles the inherent challenges associated with traditional small-space flycatchers.
Many of these devices are designed as open-top uplighters, attracting houseflies from above with blue and UV light.
However, this open-top design presents a significant drawback: it increases the risk of captured flies escaping.
The FLYght Deco overcomes this limitation with a combination of innovative features.
Pestroniks Innovations’ patented bio-VE+ technology ensures a high rate of fly attraction, while a discreetly hidden glue board effectively captures and contains the insects, keeping the space free of pesky houseflies.
The FLYght Deco Launch: A New Era in Fly Control
GPA prides itself on partnering with innovators like Pestroniks, who prioritize originality and challenge conventional industry designs rather than simply copying existing products or trends.
On 12 March 2025, Giridhar Pai Associates (GPA) marked a significant milestone with the launch of the FLYght Deco, the latest addition to Pestroniks Innovations’s acclaimed FLYght trap range.
GPA has already achieved considerable success in the Indian subcontinent with the FLYght One (launched in 2020) and the FLYght Duo (launched in 2021), establishing them as trusted and effective fly management solutions.
The launch of the FLYght Deco represents GPA’s commitment to addressing a specific market need: the demand for discreet and effective fly control in aesthetically sensitive environments.

Envisioning Fly-Free, Elegant Spaces
The FLYght Deco is designed to make the vision of fly-free, elegant spaces a reality.
Imagine:
- A café where customers can savour their coffee in a serene, fly-free atmosphere.
- A boutique where the shopping experience is enhanced by an ambience as pristine as the merchandise.
- A reception area that creates a positive and lasting impression on visitors.
The FLYght Deco makes this possible by providing effective fly control without compromising the visual appeal of the space.
Designed for Style and Effectiveness
Pestroniks Innovations engineered the FLYght Deco for smaller, customer-facing businesses such as retail stores, restaurants, reception areas, cafés, and bakeries. Its compact design allows it to blend seamlessly into any interior.
While prioritizing aesthetics, the FLYght Deco retains the proven technology of its predecessors, the FLYght One and Duo.
It features four powerful UV LEDs and Pestroniks Innovations’ patented bio-Visual Enhancer (bio-VE+) technology.
Combining blue and UV light from the bio-VE+ insert proves irresistible to houseflies, ensuring effective capture and control.
However, the FLYght Deco’s most distinguishing feature is its innovative design.
Pestroniks Innovations engineers have crafted an uplighter trap that prioritizes functionality and aesthetics.
It resembles a stylish indoor decorative light fixture, effectively disguising its purpose as a flycatcher.
This discreet design, combined with the hidden glue board, ensures that customers and guests are not confronted with the unpleasant sight of trapped insects.
The FLYght Deco: A Statement of Intent
The FLYght Deco is more than just a fly trap; it represents a commitment to providing effective solutions that enhance, rather than detract from, the surrounding environment.
It is a testament to Pestroniks Innovations’ and GPA’s dedication to innovation and design excellence.
It offers a compelling alternative to the less effective and visually jarring flycatchers that have long disrupted the ambience of small business spaces.
