About Us
ULTRABLITZ, founded in 1982 in Vanderbijlpark, started as a small operation but quickly prioritized exceptional customer service, helping us grow into a nationally recognized brand with agents throughout South Africa.
Initially, limited access to spare parts and stock posed challenges for large-scale production. Today, we’ve evolved to manufacture 90% of the spare parts for our electronic insect electrocutors in-house, using top-quality materials like aluminum for unit bodies. We also wind our own transformers and build our own grids, resulting in fewer product faults and fast, efficient repairs.
There are misconceptions that high-voltage insect killers are unhealthy due to airborne debris from electrocuted insects. To address this, we recommend placing the units 5-10 meters away from areas where food is prepared or served. This placement helps attract insects before they reach your space, providing safer, poison-free protection compared to sprays and chemicals.
Our commitment to quality and efficiency is backed by producing all products and parts on-site, ensuring seamless repairs and replacements when needed.
