Duckmomma Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have put Louise forward, so maybe if any one else gets asked they could put Michelle forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm so glad we're not the only ones, OH and I were sat on the patio earlier commenting on how many flies there were. We were worried it was the compost heap, or the chooks, but hopefully it's a phenomena of the weather and once they're all hatched they'll disappear again. It's done wonders for our local bat population tho - dusk is VERY busy above our house Mrs Bertie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckmomma Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Oh I love to watch the bats at this time of year You have just reminded me that a large park not so far away does bat walks through the park in the evenings, they use all the sonar equptment and everything so you can hear them, must book it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thank you Duckmomma! Wouldn't it be nice to think we will have an impact on the fly population with all our new flitraps.. think orders may have been rather high this weekend but perhaps not enough to make a dent just yet ...although perhaps if I can persuade everyone near my house to get one...

Duckmomma Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Now the real trick would be to convince all the neighbours to use them, in which case you wouldnt need to buy any, cos all the flies will be homing in on next door and getting dessicated before they even consider visiting you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Now why didn't I think of that!! The amount I have spent of fly prevention this week is ridiculous! horses fly repelent, fly rugs, flitraps for chickens ( I haven't even got yet) and flitraps for horses (that I can't ride due to shoulder injury).. phew.. now there was I looking forward to the warmer weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debbieroach Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I ordered a 2 traps today after reading your posting. I told them about you too. I have not noticed more flies since I got my 4 hens last November, but I thought best to get ready for when I do sit out in the garden and I also don't want my neighbours complaining!

redfrock Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 So if I put one of these in my garden - which I fully intend to, will all the flies from the neighbours gardens also get attracted by it? Or don't they have any and it is just me because of the dried chicken poo in the garden ? The thing is I never have a single fly in my either my walk-in chicken or rabbit runs, just every where else. I've been blaming it on the footpath down the side of the garden and some of the dog walkers not clearing up after themselves, but am now not so sure. And I really don't want to see swarms of flies from other gardens bee-lining my flitrap..... it will resemble something from a horror film!

Roxanne Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Having received my flitraps I commented to the manufacturer that the instructions were not very clear on the packaging, so he has produced a new leaflet to go with the product according to my comments/questions. At least now I feel I have earned my two free flitraps for asking the fly question in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaylis1980 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 how long did they take to come in?? i hate using fly spray all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Thanks Roxanne I received mine this week..complete with the additional instructions!! Kaylis not sure if you mean the flys to get trapped or parcel to arrive.. I don't know about flys yet as only just got mine, but my delivery was very quick! Ordered on mid last week and received Monday.. Now just need the sunny weather back to try out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxanne Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 I got mine within 2 days - very quick response... maybe he's snowed under with orders now!! As for the flies, within 48 hours mine was attracting and catching all sizes including bluebottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Mine were here next day I think but they're still yet to start attracting the small bluebottles I've now got three set up in my small garden and it's been sunny and windy since we got them.
