Fly Catchers: Sticky Traps That Simply Work in the Stable
A fly catcher for the stable is the most straightforward way to get rid of flies: hang it up and you are done. The flies land on the sticky surface and stay there, with no electricity and no active ingredient needed. That makes sticky catchers a good fit anywhere animals, feed or food are close by. Whether you need a long fly roll for the cattle shed or a small strip for the tack room, you will find the right size here.
Large Stables: Tape and String over Many Metres
In a cow shed, a pig house or an indoor arena, a single strip will not go far. That is what the FlyMaster is made for, available as sticky tape with 400 metres or as string with 440 metres, each as a complete set or as a refill roll. You stretch the tape over walkways and lying areas, exactly where the flies circle, and pull out a fresh length when needed. The stable fly arch is another way to hang a large catching surface at one specific spot.
Smaller Rooms: Fly Rolls and Sticky Strips
For the feed room, hen house, workshop or garage, handy fly rolls are ideal. The 10 metre Eco roll, the JumboXL with attractant, the MuscaRoll with holder or the stable fly roll with holder can all be put up in no time. Yellow sticky paper attracts many flying insects with its colour, and the Twister sticky strip hangs from the ceiling without taking up space. This keeps even small rooms free of flies, with no spray and no smell.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the best place to hang fly catchers in the stable?
Flies like to gather in bright, warm spots, under the ceiling and near windows. Hang the catchers there, but out of the animals' reach and not directly above the feed passage or the water trough.
How often do I need to change the fly roll?
At the latest when the surface is densely covered or dusty. Dust and stable air gradually reduce the stickiness of the glue, so a fresh length will catch far more again.
How do I get fly glue off my hands?
Rub the area with a little cooking oil, then wash it with warm water and soap. The same trick removes glue from fur or feathers if an animal ever gets stuck.
Fly Catchers for Stable, Yard and Feed Room
Sticky fly catchers have been used on farms for generations because they work reliably and need no active ingredient at all. In large stables you stretch long tapes or strings over several stalls and walkways, while handy fly rolls with a holder or hanging sticky strips are enough for smaller rooms. As there are no chemicals involved, you can also use them above feed stores, in the hen house or in the milk room. Location is what matters most: flies like to sit in warm, bright places and under the ceiling. Hang the catchers so that neither animals nor people brush against them. Replace the lengths as soon as they are full or dusty, and your catch rate stays high all season long. Combined with regular mucking out, you can keep flies under control with very little effort.
