trappa 518 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thought id share a fly trap photo. I swear by these traps, they are easy to use and the results are startling! This one was 2 inch of solid flies in one month!! Im sure there are plenty of pesters on here who use them. I have one in the garden and it lessens flies considerably, especially handy where ferrets are! Quote Link to post
mackem 30,047 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Whay principle do they work on Trappa?Price please? Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 You put a sachet of attractant into the dome, fill with warm water and thats it! really easy. I buy them for a fiver, the attractant for £4, but i need to buy in bulk as it costs to send them to me. I sell them for £15 to customers, dome and attractant, thats me making £6 without postage.

IanB 0 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I use a redtop fly catcher and they stink after a few weeks, they look double the size of that one, I've had them nearly full to the brim before, but the manky little gits lay eggs on each other and start eating there next of kin eventually :sick: Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think its the photo ian, its actually quite large. A month is ample sufficient time in this weather to get a LOT of flys, and yes, they do stink! Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I use the Sterling fly bags from killgerm and there about a £5 each well worth it there packed with flies already Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 A really cheap alternative is to cut the top third off a 2 litre pop bottle, and invert that into the main section. Any sweet stuff will do as bait, and they are very effective, especially for wasps. Quote Link to post
