Sagebrush Co. Model E2 Fly Trap Overview

Model E2 is a 13 inch diameter x 13 inch high all metal cone style fly trap that includes an Exclusion Screen that prevents the flies from breeding in the bait. Materials of construction include aluminum screen, zinc plated steel, and a stainless steel hose clamp that attaches the top. Model E2 fits on top of a 12 inch diameter (five gallon) bucket. The principle of operation is that flies head towards an odorous bait and then pass through a cone while traveling towards the light. Once in the screened containment the flies are unable to escape and die of dehydration. Safety Information:Flies and Yellow Jackets (meat bees) will hover around the trap before being caught so do not place the trap where this could cause a hazard. Do not place the trap where children will play with the trap, fall on the trap, or be stung by yellow jackets and biting flies. Directions:Place the trap over an odorous bait with a light source above the trap, preferably open sky. Place bait in a dish or five gallon bucket. Some effective baits include: fish, shellfish, manure, food processing waste, and commercial baits. Bait should be kept moist for maximum effectiveness. Catching flies in the presence of livestock will usually require commercial baits. Six ounces of Farnam brand Fly Attractant mixed with five gallons of water (in a bucket) works well around horses in hot dry climates. Still attractive but filled up disposable fly traps can also be placed in a bucket and used to catch more flies. Meat, manure, and sometimes even commercial baits can result in the production of maggots. Because Model E2 includes an Exclusion Screen that prevents flies from breeding in the bait, Model E2 is recommended when baiting with fish or dog manure. Model E2 is also recommended for some horse ranches and where ever breeding in the bait is an issue.
