Flies can be a real nuisance at any time of year, but they are particularly so during the summer months when they invade our homes, farms, smallholdings and stables. Now there is a safe and effective way to trap flies and deal with them – Red Top Fly Catcher Bag. Product Description The Redtop fly trap uses a safe and biodegradable bait which gets the flies before they get you!

Positioning: They should be situated a maximum of 15 metres away from your home, farm building or business premises so as to draw the flies away from the premises and into the trap. 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.

Where to hang your Flytrap

Add the bait and one litre of lukewarm water (if water is milky, allow to stand for 24 hours before use). 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. 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.

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.

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! work even with fruit flies and pesticide resistant flies, catching them up to ten times faster than other traps.
