Horse Fly Trap / How Does It Work
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2020
- Horse Fly Trap that really works. I've seen this horse fly trap all over the internet and I finally built one. I will finally prove if it works or is it a hoax. The design comes from Dan Owsley that built a horse fly trap in his back yard and I took on the challenge to confirm if it will work. This is a DIY Horse fly trap build. I have fought with horse flies for years and my animals continue to suffer from the biting horse flies.

No horses at my house here in Ireland, but lots of horseflys. I got bitten three times recently and I have a mild reaction so I'll be trying this out. Thanks 😎
It works for us. But I will say that it only caught about 20 a day on our back porch vs being by the pasture close to the animals. Good Luck and thanks for watching.
Dude was UPSET over that 8 dollars 😂
Which is why he's rich and owns hundreds of acres, a farm and a huge house.
How big is your house, poster who thinks the $8s don't add up?
@@ernestchadwell9069 it's a pretty modest 3 bedroom, but I'm happy with it. Are you ok?
I noticed. He laid awake all night and got back to Lowes before they opened!!

HURT LIKE HELL HEART IS THE THING INSIDE U AND HURT IS A THING THAT HURTS WHEN U GET PUNCHED????
Nice contraption, Chris! I'll be very interested in knowing how well it works. Later in the summer, I deal with a lot of deer flies (horse flies mainly on farms). Good to see you're vertical :)
We are dealing with everything right now. Our poor horses can't get any relief and sprays never last more than an hour.
@@hollyridgehomestead Ugh, that's so hard. Is it worse this year because of the heavy rains?
My mom has been bitten by tons of horse flies and my dad and sister too. I also don’t have any idea about my other 3 sisters. Me and my younger brother have never been bitten and there’s a horsefly in our house. I am NOT taking the chance to be bitten so when I see it, imma do a Jojo reference with the flyswatter and Ora Ora barrage it.
We also keep a fly swatter close.
🤣
Where are u from?

What is the bait that you don't have to buy for the green nets please? Our rescue has 15 horses, now is the season where the flies get nasty.
Great.. now these damn flies are disappearing by the day thanks man. also my animals such as my chickens were eating them and for some reason get sick now they are getting healthier thanks again heh.
I'm glad it is helping. We will be back at it very soon as they will return again.
I was going to say, I’m not from your area but did have a glass company in Dallas for 2 years and it seems awfully cheap for plexiglass. As soon as you pulled out that big box store wrapping with cardboard, I knew it was glass.
is this for the big horse flies or just the normal small sized?
I catch all sizes. The monster horse flies I catch, I get excited when there in the trap. Those hurt the horses the most. But it catches everything.
Don't know if it will work for horse flies, But "Listerine", Keeps mosquitoes away from horses, when sprayed on with just a hand spray bottle, also filling Shot glasses with Listerine and leaving them around your camp area or barbecue will keep mosquitoes away, it also works as a repellent when sprayed on people, it's sticky though
I have not heard of that before. Might give it a try this spring and summer when they come back.
Thanks for the information.
The dawn is to break the surface tension otherwise the Flies could just walk on the water and fly away the dawn makes it so the flies sink
Yep and it works like a charm. One of the best things we ever done for our animals.
@@hollyridgehomestead do the same thing when you make a no see ums / fruit fly trap ...use red wine vinegar to attract and alittle dawn to drown them 😊..
Are you still happy with the design? Any tweaks or changes after years of use?
Yes still happy. It’s still standing and soon will be back using it!
Would this also work for deer flies?
As long as its very close to the live stock (20' range). The closer to them the better it works.
a good idea is to try to feed the dead flies to the chickens it will make their eggs taste 100 percent better. trust me
We do that and they love them
I don’t have any plexiglass handy but I do have an extra polycarbonate panel I could spare. Would that work? Why did you switch from glass to plexiglass?
I felt the glass would break and I didn’t want to take a chance of running to the ER as much as we have to clean it. You can use whatever you want, it just needs to be clear.
Plexiglass is simply a brand name. It is polycarbonate.
On another channel a large rectangular plastic tub was used to fill with the soapy water.
I think there actually maybe some being produced for commercial sales and residential. We just made ours.
Love that shirt man!!! GO HOGS!
That’s right!!!!!!!!!
Try the flower pot with Tanglefoot.
Nice thing about those traps is there you reusable. I saw a guy on another channel, who uses flypaper which he wraps around a large garbage can or small barrel. Very effective. Let me know if you want me to find that video for you to watch.
I think you meant to say “dish soap.”
What bait did you go with for the green traps?
Raw egg mixed with water. Just keep it moist.
So, did it work? Would be nice to hava follow up vidéo with your box full of horse flies...
It does work. It’s been awhile but I think in a video or two I showed how many it catches.
But your right, I’m do need to make one one day.
Put a 5 gallon bucket with rock under it and tie it to it or a couple of 2x4s across the bottom for the bucket to sit on
So far it has been fine, but I'm gonna weight it down. We have caught 7 in it so far by the house.
@@hollyridgehomestead yay!
Ive saw a horsefly before i was scared while in my pool then i threw water at it and i didnt see it but i didnt see any bites on me i realised i had this bracelet and i remember it keeps bugs away with its smell bugs dont like
Let me know what the bracelet is. I would like to try it out.
Nice horses you got
Thank You.
Your welcome
What I the plexi glass for
I watched and saw
That is cool. Luckily we have no flies here.
Y’all are lucky. These things are the devil.
@@hollyridgehomestead looks like it.
Nice
Thank You
its not a sentence if uh isnt after it
LOL I catch myself saying it all the time. I promise I'm working on it.
Kids giant kick ball from the Walmart bin, thick rope, and roofing tar. Cover the ball and rope around it in tar. Hang them around on shepherd’s hooks swaying around.
We live out on 9 acres, next to a cow pasture of our neighbors. When they rotate the cattle, it’s ABSOLUTELY miserable. We have a swimming pool and just abandoned it last summer after killing over 20 horseflies, wasps, etc.
have tried many traps and wasn’t happy. It was killing more honey bees than wasps and horseflies. Searching for a less smelly, and sticky method to the hanging balls. It does work though, for us at least.
Also, hello from SWLA!
Also maybe u can skip the glass and look for acrylic sheets! It’s cheaper usually and probably safer (?).
We did change out the glass for plexiglass and it works very good. We have been using this trap now for sometime now and continues to catch them.
Thanks for watching!
Well that's ironic! Hes wearing an Arkansas shirt and I live in Arkansas! Lol. @Holly Ridge Homestead, do yall live in arkansas? Lol
Josh, we are in Louisiana now but lived there for many years and hope to move back one day. We are big Razorback Fans and can’t wait for college football.
Also thank you for subscribing. You are my 900th subscriber.
I live in city, I’ve seen 3 horse fly in my life. Why am I watching this?
LOL, well thanks for watching.
We do this with fleas
Luckily we don’t have that issue right now and hope never have too.
Free fishing bait
That’s right!!!
Why not make it sugar water??
Horse flies are attracted to heat. Biting flies seemed to be attracted to mostly things that smell bad. But I will try anything and see if sugar water will work.
Ask for help next glass purchase
That's right. It was all together and I just grabbed the wrong stuff. That's what happens when your in a hurry.
6:27 sounded like you were unsheathing a sword
I will have to watch it again when I have a better signal. Thanks for letting me know.
well goddani;t.....ir aint gonna work is is it ?
you watch yellowstone?
I’ve seen a couple of episodes, but pretty much can say “no”. Actually I don’t watch much tv. I prefer to watch TH-cam channel’s in the evening when I settle down for the night when I can.
@@hollyridgehomestead Thanks for the reply! There was an ep with a horse fly and today i enjoyed the season finale. Anyway, happy new year!
Man... Was hoping for a results portion of the video. Kind of the whole point of the video besides the build
I think I showed some results in the next video. It’s been awhile.
Dish soap
The trap kill horesflys by the hundreds
Weclean ours about once a day
Soap dish. Yeah. That’s how you say it not dish soap .soap dish nice please start calling it dish soap
Well if I tell my wife to get soap dish, she might buy a dish to put soap in it. If I tell her to buy dish soap, she will bring soap home. Yep, we a little backwards around here.
Thanks for watching!
I remember one time I was a kid, attending a birthday party at a farm, when a horse fly decided to fly into my ear and took a bite from me. I can’t remember how old I was, maybe 5?
Ouch, that had to hurt
FIRST

Only because I was up in Idaho Falls shopping
LOL.
I never get 1st. Always working.
