Do fly traps work?
Do fly traps work?
It’s no lie, flies are annoying and can create issues with food if they have the opportunity to land on it. Food issues include transmitting diseases and spreading germs to anyone who consumes the food. As soon as a fly lands in your sight, the first thing you want to know is if a fly trap would work for this situation. Fly traps really do work and they not only attract the fly but they hold on to them so they can’t get away. While there are many fly trap options available in the store, you can choose which one you like the best and it will work.
What makes fly traps effective?
Fly traps are designed after long studies watching the behavior of a fly. Knowing what they were attracted to, what they liked, what they didn’t pay any attention to, can make a difference in how the fly traps were designed and constructed. There are different types of fly traps that involve sticky tape. The sticky tape is a no-fail option because the flies tend to fly around vertically and they tend to fly into it. Once they fly into it they get stuck and cannot get out of the sticky paper or glue. They will die. The strip of paper can hang up until there are no more flies to catch or there is no more room on the paper.
Placing the fly traps in your home
When placing the strips in your home, there are a few things to consider:
- Don’t place them where your hair will get caught in it. If you do, you may have to cut out some of the hair because the sticky glue doesn’t let go easily.
- Hang them up where they tend to gather the most, such as in a corner in the kitchen near the fridge.
- Outside, hang the strips where no animal can get caught up inside the trap. Hang them in the corner of barns or buildings or on the outside eaves.
You also want to keep them away from domestic pets as well. The sticky glue could make your animal sick if they get into them. There are different versions of the fly traps available today so if one doesn’t work, there are others to choose from that will work. These fly traps are not expensive and the results are great.
