Hanging Outdoor Fly Trap

This Fly Trap from Velleora Home Decor hangs away from a house and draws flies to a bait held inside, so the insects are caught at a distance rather than being killed where people are sitting.

Placement is the whole technique. A trap hung beside a patio table brings flies toward the table; hung ten metres away near a bin store, a compost heap or a stable it draws them away from the area you actually use. That is how these are meant to work and how they are most often used wrongly.

It needs no power and no spray, which suits a garden with children, pets or food being served. Hang it out of reach and downwind of seating. Be aware it will fill and will smell - that is the trap working - so site it well away from doors and windows, and dispose of it or empty it as instructed rather than leaving it indefinitely.
