Maybe a $10 Flytrap may work wonders around the summer campsite!!!

: )

If you've smelt it, you need to keep a safe distance. I have a similar trap in the back yard, and it is VILE. But it works.

Good idea though, but I'd try and get some inside the vehicle.

Or squirt a bit through his window if he leaves it half open.

Hi There, Envirosafe flytrap,, Buy them from Bunnings, $10 and it comes with only one sachet of Attractant. You can buy 3 extra sachets in a pack for about $6 and are supposed to last up to 3 weeks.. Probably the high temps lately have reduced the one in the pic to 6 days.. I emptied it this afternoon, ERRRRR!! Not so bad i guess, dug a small hole in the garden, tipped it in, poured some detergent into and onto the base and lid and gave it a hose out.. refilled now and ready to go!! Michael

We have been using one for a while now. At the moment flies half fill it each day. Certainly does work ! MUST remove the flies every day, or they rot and really stink ! Just sieve the liquid through some fly wire add a bit more water (warm water is best)and put back in the trap. At $2 a sachet of bait it is well worth the time.
BTW we bought a different brand one from Safeway $14.95. (Has red lid) and it does not work. The bait that comes with them doesnt work, even in the Bunnings one.
We use only the Bunnings bait in both now ; we get 3 inches of flies in the Bunnings one, and 1/2 inch in the red one. Both side by side. Got to get back to Bunnings to get another one !!

The traps with the yellow lid are tor flies, and the ones with the red lid are for wasps. Each use a different attractant.
Barry

According too the instructions , each one can be used for either. Just get the different bait !!!

Ian

I don't want any of your SH__gar in my coffee thanks Scrubby !!!!

Dig hole in the garden and bury the little blighters, a small service to the departed and a few beers afterwards!! ;) Michael

Robin, You may be right,, Michael

But then again!! the flies may be more interested in the trap than the meat, so the BBQ may be spared some flies, and that would be better than nothing.. MIchael

I wonder if you mixed up an egg with a fair amount of water and put that in the Envirotrap.
I reckon I might try that, it would be cheaper than the sachets.

Dave

Rotton egg would be hard to clean out of the trap, easy now with the proper bait and the egg would smell bad, bad bad!!!!

My two dogs love the smell of the Bunnings fly bait. I put a rock on top of the fly catcher, and it squashed the top down :((
Neeeext ! LOL

I was told by a dairy farmer that flies are territiorial and wont travel more than about 1km from home. He made traps from 44 gallon drums, cut off the base, cut a 6" hole in the top and covered that with perspex. He then suspended some meat about 12" from the top and sat the drum on bricks. Apparently the flies feed then fly towards the light, get tired and drop to the ground and die.
He reckoned it worked.
I have used the fly traps from Bunnings and they work well.
