{"title":"Horsefly traps","description":"\u003cp\u003eA horsefly trap works with a dark ball that warms up in the sun and moves gently: horseflies see it as a large animal to bite and are caught in a collection hood or on a layer of glue. That way you reduce the number of horseflies around the field or paddock, without putting a product on the horse. This collection includes the Loer horsefly trap (complete or as a separate ball), the 60 cm Sticky Trap ball and the Sticky Trap Glue trap, plus Sticky Trap Horsefly Glue in three pack sizes and a Horse Fly Trap brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCollection hood or glue?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two systems. With a \u003cstrong\u003etrap with collection hood\u003c\/strong\u003e, horseflies fly upwards after landing on the ball, into a funnel with a collection container. That is clean work: you empty the container now and then. With a \u003cstrong\u003eglue system\u003c\/strong\u003e, you coat the ball or a bucket with special horsefly glue, and the horseflies stick to it. Glue needs more maintenance, because dust, rain and insects make the layer less sticky. Also bear in mind that other insects end up on the glue too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe right spot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull sun: a ball in the shade does not warm up and attracts far fewer horseflies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose to where the animals are, but out of their reach, so a curious horse does not knock the trap over or come into contact with glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn a spot with some wind or movement, so the ball can turn slightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet it up early in the season, before horseflies are numerous.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a horsefly trap does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA trap catches far from all the horseflies in the area, certainly not with a ditch or woodland edge nearby.
