Biting Fly Lure

In May 2018, Bite-Lite® launched a new product that was proven to attract more tabanids (aka horse flies)! It’s called the Bite-Lite® Biting Insect Lure, and this attractant will complement the H-Trap Professional Horse Fly Control System in catching more biting horse flies. To prove its efficacy, Bite-Lite tested the new lure in two states, Massachusetts and Texas in 2017. The results were fantastic – the lure caught five times and almost three times more horse flies in these two states, respectively.

The Biting Insect Lure contains 1-octen-3-ol, a chemical that has been proven to attract biting flies. The active and inert ingredients are embedded in wax and sealed inside plastic. Once the sealed pouch is opened, the lure’s attractant is released slowly through small holes in the plastic. The lure has undergone bite tests, and these tests have shown that children and pets cannot bite through it. The lure is expected to last 30 to 60 days, depending on ambient temperatures. Unopened and stored in a cool interior location, the lure has an expected shelf life of two years.

Bite-Lite registered this federally regulated lure in 24 states in 2024. These states were chosen based on Bite-Lite’s top H-Trap sales last year. Buyers in the following states can purchase our biting fly lure: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
