H-Trap Horsefly

Highly effective against horse flies

Horse flies are a constant nuisance, particularly during the period May – October in the northern hemisphere. Since they feed on blood, their aggressive stings are very painful not only for animals, such as horses and cows, but also for humans.

 

The new H-trap system effectively

controls horse fly numbers, reducing 

them to an absolute minimum. 

 

The H-trap is designed to be placed 

outdoors, where it works without the

need for chemicals or electricity. 

Extensive independent trials have 

shown a reduction of 90-95% in 

horse fly numbers in areas protected

by the H-trap can be realised.

 

The horse flies are ‘tricked’ into

mistaking the centrally placed

black ball in the H-trap as a large

animal, such as your horse.

They are attracted to the ball

 

since it emits heat, exactly like

the body of the horse.

 

Once they are positioned on the

black ball, they will investigate 

it and try to sting it. Since they

will be unsuccessful

in gaining their desired blood

feed, they will follow their natural

behaviour and fly away.

 

Horse flies naturally fly upwards,

hood system, where they are

guided into a centrally placed 

collection bin.This is filled with

waterand they die in the trap.
