fleabit 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have used fly traps for years with good results. I find that they work better if I put them near the dog pens but not too close. If you put them too close to the dogs, you end up attracting flies to the area that you want to rid them from. I put mine about 20 yards away from the nearest dog. I hope you have good results also.

Guest Bigbob Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I use these fly bags 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Thanks for that, Big Bob. I looked at their Reusable Fly Trap and it's inspired me. I think I'll just nip out to my stable and make one! Give it a few days and, if I can pull this off, I'll report back here on how it goes. Hopefully with a shot of loads of dead flies too. Only I've had something out there for ages now; Too good to throw away and just waiting to find a purpose. I reckon this could be it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkanddog 0 Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 My Missus breeds rabbits and she uses a KONK FLY KILLER, its basically a totally safe (unless your an insect) spray that is set inside a wall mounted box. It lets off a small spray at intervals and is controlled with a 9v battery. You can get them on ebay for 34 quiddies, it only works inside sheds, kennels and the like.
