USE
Apply the Sticky Trap glue to the object with a brush or spatula. Traps can be made of various materials, however plastic is the most suitable. For biting horseflies we recommend a black bucket. Hang it upside down in an open area so it can move in the wind and get warm and attract the biting horsefly. Inside stables and barns white buckets, milk cartons and similar products can be used to catch (stable) flies. Buckets can be easily cleaned using a spatula, so can be used year after year.

How to make the cheapest horsefly trap?
- Drill a hole in the top of the bucket and string a rope through the hole. Run the rope through a metal ring and tie a knot so that the rope cannot go back through the hole. A big and sturdy knot may suffice as well.
- Screw a small hook in the underside of a bar that is approximately 50cm long. Hang the rope that is attached to the bucket on the hook (see picture). The ideal height of the bucket is 100 cm above the ground.
- Mount the bar onto one of the field poles. It’s important that it is placed near vegetation, if possible. It should also catch enough sunlight so that the bucket can get warm.
- The placing has to be in an open area, so that the bucket can move in the wind. Finally apply glue to the outside of the bucket. Wear gloves, it’s called sticky for a reason!
- The bucket should hang outside of the field. If not, your horse will brush against the trap, the flies will stick to your horse not the trap! This will not harm your horse, but it’s certainly not pleasant.

How does the Sticky Trap glue trap complete works?
The horsefly is an insect which uses blood to procreate and to make eggs. The female horsefly searches for her prey using infrared eyes and while she is flying, she is scanning the environment for heat sources. Everything which is warm and moves, in her eyes, contains blood and is a potential prey to bite. With a razor-sharp beak, she horsefly cuts open the skin and starts to drink the blood.
Things that are considered as prey to the horsefly are: Humans, horses, cows and other livestock.
1. The horsefly trap has a black and moving ball which is heated up by the sun.
2. The horsefly sees this as a prey and lands on the ball to bite it.
3. The horsefly ball of the Sticky Trap glue trap contains a special clue which traps the landed horsefly.
The horsefly glue sticks for 8-22 weeks and can be applied loosely with the included brush. You can apply new glue over the old one. Cleaning the ball can be simply done with a spatula. (tip: roll the ball around in the sand first) With 1.5 litre of horsefly glue, you can apply the glue to the ball up to 6 times. The steel frame of the Sticky Trap glue trap has been galvanized and can stay outside during the winter.
For the longest lifespan, we advise to store the Sticky Trap glue trap in a dry and frost-free environment.
