TRAP FLY TERMINATOR PRO

I put this out in the compost bin area late April filled with distilled water to fill line and the small container of attractant that comes with it. It does smell bad-that's why it works. It makes the flies leave the horses immediate surroundings if you place it away from where they like to stand. After 6 weeks the container is half full of dead flies and I will probably clean it and refill it in a week or so. I have moved it to several locations when I see flies in different areas around the property. If the wind changes and brings the smell where I don't want it, I move it. Last summer I tried using fly predators and did not notice much improvement. Fly Terminator Pro seems to help for many types of flies, but I do not notice a reduction of some small ones that I call "sticky cattle flies" because they land and sit there on the horse. The cattle that graze on the open range in the area bring them in. I also use essential oil fly repellant that I mix myself and the sticky rolls of fly tape that hang. Our stalls and paddocks are cleaned at least twice daily, but some untidy horse-owning neighbors are close enough to create a fly problem for us. I put fly sheets on as well. We have trouble with midges. Some vaseline on the bellies in the spots where the hair parts keeps them from biting as much. Fly sheets with belly bands help. I feed a garlic supplement to help repel insects, and I am not sure how effective it is, but garlic also has other benefits. One neighbor who likes to visit the horses over the fence teased me and said I was torturing the flies with a slow death. Better than flies torturing the horses!
