I want to see the video of you scooping out 5 gallons of dead fly soup!
You and everyone else I am sure. lol I may wear my respirator when I scoop them out with one of them pine tree scents you hang from your car mirror inside the mask. 😂 Will be interesting for sure!
@@GrazingAcresFarm definitely a plan - put that scent in there. Even a gas mask will "leak in" smells if not totally tight. - thanks -
I trust you shower after or does this smell on you draw flys away from cattle LOL
Mine is simple, I just wrap two 5 gallon buckets with the sticky fly paper and it gets laoded with flies. The buckets are filled with Rescue Fly trap packets mixed with water. Works great. Each day the sticky paper traps thousands of flies.
I held my breath when he opened that lid 4:55.
But for that soap, you could take it home and let your chickens clean it out for you.
you should have the tubes facing upwards, not downwards as fly's fly up...
The opening is an inch off the surface of the water, and the plexiglass draws them upwards. If they land on the top of the elbows it will take longer for them to crawl to the exit.
Neat idea! Maybe try a P-trap style (water isolated) drain so you and just add water and flush the dead flies out the side/bottom without having to open the lid. I can't imagine the smell!! LOL
What i found with water traps like that is it creates more flys then you kill. Ive been using the ranch fly traps in my chicken coup and after two days noticeably less flys.
How do you mean? How does it create flies?
Nice seen a couple different videos but they didn't show the results. Man knows what the people want to see. Nice job
THAT is Love!
Half a Rainbow Trout and smelling that fly trap, MAN! 😃
All for the cattle.... ❤️
YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd want to throw the whole thing out and make another one.
I've found if you wait until winter it's not bad at all to dump and wash out with a hose but I totally understand why you say what you did. lol
Since flies were using the bait to lay eggs, which would later consume the bait , wouldn't it be better to wrap the bait in perhaps fine woven cloth, so the smell of it rotting would get out, but the eggs and larvae could not get through. If you want to attract various kinds of flies, I wonder if including bits of fruit and vegetables would also be good for bait.
That would be my ass gagging 😂
Did this make any noticeable difference of the number of flies on your cattle?
Put some diatomaceous earth at the bottom and the larva will die too. Good design
I doubt the larvae are smarter than their parents
Thank you for showing us the results! Nice addition to the outside with sticky traps. Great idea.
Does it have any noticeable impact out there in the farmyard?
🤮flies are so disgusting!! Thanks for this great idea, I will not do the fly tape because when I did use it, a bat got stuck in it ☹ and they eat flies!! It was sad I tried to save it with oil, not sure if it lived but I said I'd never use that again. I will try the barrel tho thanks!
Oh wow, that's not good. It would be a tough call for me, the tape catches thousands of flies when bats aren't flying and the cattle need relief. The barrel works great just don't breathe when your around it. lol
Lol I can just imagine the smell 🤮 thanks that's a good idea
Did you have a noticeable reduction in flies on and around the cattle?
I made one similar but added drain 2” coupling on bottom side with plug. Empty into 5gallon bucket, strain. Flys to chickens, gook juice back into trAp. Gets better each time
Maybe use a clear top so you don't need to open it to check
so the green fly trap does it turn white after awhile
Nifty! Not sure I'd want to tote that around, but definitely something to put up near heavy traffic areas or permanently place on a drag or trailer.
To be honest, toting it around isn't bad until you stop, movement is your friend it creates a breeze. lol I hope after testing it out for a period to make several and keep around the farm, then I wouldn't need to move them. You know it smells bad when you bring it to the paddock next to the cows and they all stop grazing and smell the air.
Thank you for the video. Do the cows or bulls beat up on them or tip them over?
I leave it outside the poly wire where the cows/bull don't have access to it.
ACROST.....DROWNDING...
DISHOPE... One and a half minutes in I can't wait to hear the rest of your jokes.
That is a lot of flies.
Thank you.
How much dishwashing soap did you put in the bottom with the water? I built one last weekend and I added water to about 7 inches and then did about a cup of dishwashing soap....wondering if that was too much?
Thank you for sharing your idea and experience. Definitely helpful and its such a simple approach that i am going to experiment. My best wishes to you , thanks again.
Dude next time wrap paper all the way around the bucket there was as many on the bucket as it was in the bucket
Fantastic
Where do get your fly tape?
Rural King and Tractor Supply carry it.
"Kinda like fine yeast..." Personally I prefer the yeast. But thanks for the ideas!
AMAZING! Very smart! I am going to build one!
Cheap, Effective , Efficient. Put more water in there so that the dead sink
Looks like a converted worm team barrel
Nice! A reverse escape board! :)
Thanks for sharing!
I would puke! Looks like it works, good job Jason 👍
yeast is a poor metaphor for dead flies
Very innovative design with excellent results. It would be helpful to the viewers to know if this fly trap is more effective on biting flies such as deer flies and horse flies or if it is simply attracting house flies. Perhaps both? Please let us know and thank you for a very informative video. Take care.
I wonder why he never responded to your question?
Do you use an external mic while making videos? Also, what video editor do you use? Thanks for all the content
I use my phone for my camera and then use this mic www.purplepandastore.com/products/purple-panda-lavalier-microphone-kit. To edit I used Adobe Premier Pro. Glad you enjoy the videos.
Those are great ideas! Thanks for sharing! I laughed so hard when you opened that thing up. Keep up the great work!
I figured someone would get a kick out of my misery. lol It was horrible, wayyyyy worse than I figured.
I think you need some more tape ha. But cool idea.
When it come to flies everyone counts, right? lol
😂 Green Death 👍
That's about what it smelled like. I learned if you just leave the fly barrel until winter the smell isn't that bad and it makes cleaning barrel much easier. lol
Omg I’m shocked at how many flies there are. They are so disgusting and harmful to the poor cows.
There's only one d in drowning
"it's like a fine yeast 🤌" 😂
