Bite Free Stable Fly Trap
Farnam Companies, Inc.
- Item #13715
- Item #13715
As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just use the pre-paid return label included in your order within 60 days from the purchase date. And of course, please make sure the item is in like-new condition with original packaging (we said 'fitting room', not 'war room'!).
Why We Love This
Uniquely shaped Bite Free Stable Fly Trap provides an ecomonical solution to those persistent and potentially harmful Stable Flies.
Also known as Dog Flies, these pesky flies attack horses, livestock, dogs, and humans, leaving you and your animals prone to secondary infections, disease transmittance, and persistent stomping and scratching.
Stable Flies bite humans and livestock on the legs, and dogs and cats on the ears. Bite Free Stable Fly Trap provides relief from these pests in an easy to set up, insecticide and odor free, disposable trap.
Simply place trap at least 10 feet away from barns, houses, gardens, and kennels. For maximum fly control, use in conjunction with the EZ Fly Trap.

Bite Free Stable Fly Trap is rated out of 5 by 37.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Libby2563 from Didn't catch many stable flies This thing is EXTREMELY sticky so handle with care. As others have noted, it's strong enough to catch birds. I surrounded it with a cylinder of hardware cloth to prevent that. Thankfully I didn't catch any birds or bats, but I didn't catch many stable flies either. A few here and there perhaps, plus lots of cicadas and random other insects that don't bother me. I suspect I should have tried different locations so that's why I'm giving it 2 stars instead of 1, but I did follow the instructions as far as height etc. Wouldn't bother buying again, though I'm sure it may work for some people.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mary97 from Indescriminate trapping of insects and birds Before purchasing, I read on the manufacturer's website that they've had reports of birds being trapped by this trap, but that these incidents were "rare." Yeah, right. I set up three of these traps, following the instructions on the package, four days ago on my two acre farm. One trap caught two sparrows on Day 2. I moved that trap to a different location and it caught another sparrow on Day 4. Pulling birds off the trap is horrible. I considered modifying it with reflective strips that wave in the wind to deter birds but I can't stomach catching another bird to find out if that works or not. I understand this trap is targeting biting stable flies but it appears to attract any flying insect from Japanese beetles to bees to flies. Unfortunately, my horse has become deathly allergic to fly spray so I am forced to rely on traps and barrier clothing like fly sheets from now on, but this trap's design is unacceptable. Kudos to the excellent Customer Service at SmartPak who refunded my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunnywiththelongmane from Biting Fly Trap These fly traps are for those nasty biting flies that make your horses stomp and swish like mad. I've found that they do reduce the number of biting flies and insects we have around our place. I would definitely caution that small birds can become trapped in these as well (the glue is EXTREMELY sticky!), and you should not use them without wrapping chicken wire around them. The bugs will still get caught, but you will save yourself from having to remove a poor little wren who has lost its tail and died from trying to escape. Overall, these are worth the cost, and one lasts me most of the summer (you can wash them off for longer use).

Rated 4 out of 5 by 1horsewoman from Really sticky! It is really effective in catching flies but it can also catch birds, so be mindful of where you position it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Terry from Good news - they work Bad news - catch baby birds After what i experienced with a bird being trapped. (we were able to free him) . I'm very careful where I place these. After i send the horses out to the pasture, I lock the stalls and leave these traps in the stall -- wow do they work but you have to be very careful. Hard on Geckos here in Florida
