Alternative horse fly trap

[cremedemonthe]

I am familiar with the black ball version but they are hard to make yourself as where do you get a very large black ball!
This one is food for thought though and looks far easier and cheaper to make ready for the horsefly season.

...where do you get a very large black ball!

I'd love a trap like that in the field but can guarantee that it would get knocked over in 5 mins by our herd :rolleyes3:

But for the ball type any boat chandlery shops should be able to supply this, ask for a sepherical black fender! ... like this http://www.anchor-marine.com/product/ball-fender/

Oh I might just have thought of an alternative use for my black gym ball.

Another link to the Dan Owsley trap appeared today on another forum that I frequent.

Absolutely brilliant. I killed 60 horseflies during one ride, and they were just the ones I could reach from the saddle.
