Red Top Fly Traps, Fly Trap, Red, 2 Pack

Product Information

It is recommended that the Red Top be placed about 15m from the house and so keep the home fly-free, however, as this is not possible in all properties it can be placed closer but it must be remembered it is to attract the flies away from the house.

Add the bait and one litre of lukewarm water (if water is milky, allow to stand for 24 hours before use). work even with fruit flies and pesticide resistant flies, catching them up to ten times faster than other traps. This really is a frequent question! No, it is unlikely to harm him. It’s organic and non-toxic – but dogs seem to find it appetising so, to be on the safe side, keep it out of their way. Simple and aesthetic in design, this bug zapper is a breeze to set up. You can hang it using the included chain-and-hook set, or simply set it on a hard, even surface, as long as an outlet is nearby. We also found the upkeep to be easy as well, with a removable plastic tray at the bottom that is dishwasher-safe. We appreciatethe ease of use and the self-cleaning electric grid. One thing to note is that this zapper is loud and very bright so if you are using it indoors, you will want to put it in an area you can avoid.The bait has a strong fermented food smell, which might make it better suited away from outdoor dining areas. A couple of years ago, I decided to try to control the numbers but didn’t fancy spraying anything nasty around the place. It’s against my principles of having an organic garden and I rarely use strong chemicals even for cleaning the birds coops out, opting for the environmentally friendly poultry shield instead. There is a small piece of mesh in a funnel shape that guides the fly downwards into the bag. Once a fly is inside the bag, it can fly around but is unable to find the small opening in the mesh that it came in through. Red Top Fly Trap need some sunlight and warmth to get going and once set up the garden fly trap will begin working within a few days and last up to 12 weeks. They use a non-poisonous, ecologically-safe protein lure to attract the flies via a turret into a three-litre garden fly trap.

Around 85% of the flies caught in the trap are female. By controlling the female, the entire fly population in the area can be brought under control. The Victor Fly Magnet is a tidy container that uses bait to lure flies under its tented lid and into the depths of its glass chamber. The flies drown in the jar, which can hold dozens of winged insects. The scent of this compact outdoor fly trap also repels stinging insects such as bees and wasps. The red top fly trap bait is organic and non toxic so is safe for domestic animals like dogs, although hanging them up by their string means it is unlikely pets will get hold of them anyway. The Redtop Fly Trap Catcher effectively catches and contains flies and blowflies drastically reducing the problem by trapping up to 155 flies a minute. First, open up the bag and place the attractant that is in the sachet into the bottom of the bag, adding the prescribed litre of warm water with it.The non-chemical lure is especially effective with female blowflies which are each capable of laying up to 600 eggs every two to three days. are used in 27 countries worldwide protecting gardens, smallholdings, farms, stables, and kennels - anywhere that has flies. I have found it more effective to have a couple in use in different locations for the biggest reduction in flies. Remember not to put them near your house or you will be attracting flies nearer your home! Product Description The Redtop fly trap uses a safe and biodegradable bait which gets the flies before they get you!

Slit the bag with a sharp instrument and drain it into a compost heap or a hole in a garden bed (dead flies are rich in nutrients and make good compost), or place the trap in an old shopping bag and dispose of in a rubbish bin. Tips In the bottom of the bag, there is a mixture of –well I’m not sure what it is, but it smells pretty horrible to me but certainly attracts the flies. I couldn’t smell the trap unless putting my nose to the top of it though. Eventually, the fly will crawl into or fall into the mixture. A unique and safe product, Red Top Fly Trap are the ultimate garden fly trap. They are low-cost, non-toxic, simple-to-use and chemical-free.

The trap is capable of catching 20’000 flies and by the end of the season, and as you can see to the right, there is quite a build up of flies in the bottom of the bag. At the end of the season, you simply take the bag down and put the trap in the rubbish bin. How to use the Red Top fly trap Because you want to attract the flies AWAY from their breeding grounds and away from where they are causing you a nuisance! Also, if you hang it too close to an existing strong manure smell, the flies don’t notice the Redtop. Container traps lure flies with bait and make it impossible for them to leave. Some container traps are reusable with bait refills, like the Victor Fly Magnet Reusable Trap With Bait: others need to be thrown out once full. A zapper, while not technically a trap, lures insects with its ultraviolet light and eliminates them with an electric charge, like the ASPECTEK 20W Electric Indoor Bug Zapper. Bait is especially appealing to female flies - so reducing the next generation. Simply hang the fly trap away from the area you wish to protect. Low cost, foolproof, disposable.
