No, the Advantage Fly Trap will not work for horse flies or deer flies. Biting flies are drawn to different environments than non biting flies like cluster flies or house flies.

No, the Advantage Fly Trap will not work for horse flies or deer flies. Biting flies are drawn to different environments than non biting flies like cluster flies or house flies. Because of the nature of deer and horse flies there is not really a good way to get rid of them. Fortunately, the season for deer flies is rather short, usually four to five weeks in June or July, and three to four weeks in August for horse flies.

Q

Will the Advantage Fly Trap be effective for cluster flies?
Mind you we have thousands that live in the vinyl siding. Looking for solutions in NY.

A

Yes, cluster flies are attracted to the Advantage Fly Trap. After the cluster flies leave your home in the spring, you will want to seal up as many entry points as possible before fall comes around again and a new cluster fly invasion starts. In addition to using the Advantage Fly Trap, we also sugg…

Yes, cluster flies are attracted to the Advantage Fly Trap. After the cluster flies leave your home in the spring, you will want to seal up as many entry points as possible before fall comes around again and a new cluster fly invasion starts. In addition to using the Advantage Fly Trap, we also suggest thoroughly spraying the outside of your home with a residual insecticide paying special attention to cracks, crevices, gaps, places where utility lines enter into the structure, eaves, soffits, door frames and window frames. As you are aware, folks in New York are quite limited by what they can purchase. We recommend Essentria IC3, a natural concentrated liquid insecticide that will leave a long lasting residual.

Yes. The Advantage Fly Trap should only be used outdoors. The Advantage Fly Banquet Lure has an odor that would not be welcome indoors. We do carry a full line of indoor fly light traps and fly glue traps to fit just about any fly control need.

Q

Would the Advantage Fly Trap work for fruit flies for fruit trees like guava or fig trees?

A

The Advantage Fly Trap is intended for larger filth flies such as blow flies, house flies, stable flies, larger gnats, and cluster flies. It may catch a few of the fruit flies, but it would not amply compete with decaying fruit from the trees. Be sure to pick ripe fruit and remove fruit that has fal…

It may catch a few of the fruit flies, but it would not amply compete with decaying fruit from the trees. Be sure to pick ripe fruit and remove fruit that has fallen to the ground as quickly as possible to reduce the breeding ground for fruit flies.

Q

How is the smell from the Advantage Fly Traps?
Does it carry far from the trap?

A

Yes, there is often a foul odor with most flie traps and this is because flies are attracted to filth. The Advantage Fly Trap should only be used outdoors. The Advantage Fly Banquet Lure has an odor that would not be welcome indoors.

Does the water go into the disposable liner or the permanent blue tub when using the Advantage Fly Trap?

5. Remove and discard the inside liner when it is full of dead flies and insects (usually every 10 days). There is a hole in the center of the liner for assembly of the trap. If you received liners from us that appear to be defective or damaged, then please contact us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.
