Fly traps

See there's been a lot of fly traps hung. Good.
But you may consider... putting them out the outside of the stall.
They are designed to attract (and trap) flies - do you really want the flies to come into the barn? Over where your horse eats?
Think they'd be just as effective on the outside edge.

The instructions say when it is hot to hang them in the shade, so that's why they've been hung where they are. I think it is more disgusting to have all those flies than having them hung properly as the instructions say. Anyway, I think there are a lot fewer flies now and I know mine is not filling up nearly as fast as it was the first couple times I put them up.

Even hung in the aisle half the day the trap is spent in the sun and half the day the outside of the stall is in the shade....funny how that works when the sun rises on one side of the barn and sets on the other...:O...i want to gag when i walk down the aisle from the stench of the traps..use fly spray people. the traps that shadow and sundance2 have seem to be just as effective and alot less stinky.
