Ecotrap Caught Thousands Of Flies

Ecotrap Caught Thousands Of Flies MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals After about a month the Ecotrap® fly-catcher bag that I hung outside my home office window is filled with flies It worked great and was simple to use – just fill it with water Though I’m not going to count them I believe that one bag really can hold up to 40 000 flies It’s packed and when the season is over I can just throw away the bag The attractant in the bag has a very foul smell which I only notice when the wind is in the right direction Instructions with the bags suggest hanging the bags around the perimeter of outdoor living spaces to draw flies away from the area It definitely works I asked Bertha Minn dairy farmer John Blashack to test a couple of bags in his barn and they didn’t work quite as well there “The smells in the barn are about as strong as what’s in the bag so they didn’t fill up real fast ” he reported after the bags were up a few weeks “But I’m not ready to write them off ” He added that flies seemed to be down this summer possibly due in part to his free-ranging chickens that love to eat maggots For folks who want to reduce flies in their backyard I think the Ecotrap works great and I was impressed with the company’s service The birds around my house didn’t like them though They could see flies inside the bag but couldn’t get at them Ecotrap Jumbo bags www ecotrapguard com sell for $5 86 each at Amazon com and other retailers with discounts for multiple orders Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dee Goerge dee_goerge@yahoo com
