Nature goes hand in hand with the design and effectiveness of our professional horse fly control system and trap.
Three elements attract female horse flies to find the blood source that enables them to reproduce– contrast, heat sensory, and scent.
By placing our horse fly traps in strategically sunny locations, ideally where horses and people congregate, the inflatable black ball will begin to trick the horse flies into coming onto it.
When the inflatable black ball absorbs heat, it gives off an infrared signature, which attracts the biting female horse to fly to the ball rather than to the animals and humans nearby.
Once on the black ball, the females will try to bite their “victims” without success. Because horse flies fly vertically, the green plastic conical hood guides them upwards into the green plastic collection bin atop the horse fly trap.
There is no escape from there, and the horsefly will die from dehydration or drowning if you add water to the collection bin.
