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

Product Information

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.

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 traps attract flies so ensure you place them away from your home. They do smell once they get going so I have found it convenient to place them a few meters up into trees where you’re less likely to get a waft of one when walking by. Works for 12 weeks - sometimes even longer - and catches up to 20,000 flies. The Redtop should be placed about 10m (30ft) away from the area that you want to protect.

How does it work?

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

Specifically designed for outdoor use, Redtop Fly Traps draw flies away from the home, patio, barbeque or any other affected area. 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.T he Red Top Fly Trap was something I discovered a couple of years ago and now buy half a dozen of these every year to control the number of flies around the garden and my poultry pens and houses that are spread across an acre of land. 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.

require no electricity and, at less than 1p per 100 flies, are an economical solution to your fly problem. The bait has a strong fermented food smell, which might make it better suited away from outdoor dining areas.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. Red Top Fly Catchers are a unique product from South Africa and are both safe and practical and easy to use. They use a non-toxic protein-based bait which lures flies through a turret into a three-litre trap from which they can’t escape.
