Follow up to flytraps

We have made many of the fly traps, we don't use smelly meat we use three heaped tea spoons of meat meal mixed with water. When the container gets half full of flies tip it on the garden and prime it up again. If you buy those little yellow topped fly catchers with the two eco/organic satchels that are so expensive to replace that's all it is meat meal. As soon as I smelt the first one I could tell it was meat meal, the flies love it, the garden loves it and it’s not too bad on the nose. It's the maggots and dead flies that are left too long in the container that smell horrid.


That’s exactly what we had to do (buy 40kg bags) but it’s still a much cheaper option at only around $12- $15 per bag from the local stock feeder. Well worth it to get rid of the flies. Your local abattoir might also be able to help you out. Graham. PS. We also use it on our garden as a bit of fertilizer
