Walk Through Fly Trap Offers Organic Insect Removal
The Yoder’s Fly Trap is a simple and effective method of fly control for livestock. “The fly trap was created by an Amish farmer who farms organically,” says Marlin Wengerd of Working Horse Tack. “We ended up with the plans as the farmer simply wanted someone to make these to help other organic farmers.” 
The concept is simple. Cows walk through the trap single file and brush against the carpeting hanging over the entrance. This scrapes the flies off and brushes them into the wire walls of the trap. “Some flies fly off when an animal walks into a building. The others get brushed off by the carpeting that hangs low enough to touch the animal’s back,” explains Wengerd. “Flies naturally go toward the light, which takes them into the trap made from aluminum screen. They get caught in the trap and can’t get out.”
The Fly Trap is made from galvanized pipe, 9-gauge chain link fencing, and aluminum screen that’s easy to empty out. It offers an easy, safe, and economical way to control flies. “The trap is completely organic,” says Wengerd. “There are no chemicals, and it’s easy to use. Once it’s set up, no further time or expenses are required.”
Customer reviews show how well the Fly Trap works. Many share that it ensures their cattle have clear eyes all summer without them turning to chemicals. Others share that they didn’t spend a single dollar on toxic chemicals and that the cows were more comfortable, leading to better growth over the summer season.
The Fly Trap costs $4,635, plus shipping. For FARM SHOW readers, Wengerd is offering a 15 percent discount using code FSM2024. The code will work for thirty days after publication.
Says Wengerd, “Our goal is to help organic farmers. Customers love our fly traps and often buy more after they’ve used one for a few months.”
