Mosquito Ball Deluxe Complete Kit - Biting Fly and Insect Trap, Pack of 3

I have put mine up and in a few hours they have trapped a few yellow flies. Wish me luck. These yellow flies are horrible. Didn't have any. But this year they are harific. Hang before you spay and won't have to use gloves. I live in the south east part of the country. I so hope these work!!

To bad you can not upload video. You will see Deer fly land on the balls, become a little stuck, but with a little effort, they un-stick them selves and fly off. Totally useless. I know you are desperate to eradicate deer flies, but this is not the solution. $70 bucks robbery for selling such rubbish.

Not found to be very effective. Would not buy again.

I had my doubts whether this would work or not, and if it would collect other more useful flying creatures (like dragon flies, or honey bees). But after only three days all three balls are covered in nothing but horse flies! I am impressed! +Update - I have ordered these a few times and all of the previous orders have been exactly as described. This years order the Spray adhesive didn't react like previous years. Instead of a fine mist that was tacky from the outset, this years spray came out in strings, and needed to be reapplied because it was NOT sticky. I had to reduce the rating from 5 stars to 4.

Pump it up, spray on the 'sticky spray', and hang them in a place that will get a bit of sun (to warm up the ball, which is what attracts the little stinkers), and breeze (to make the ball sway a bit -- combination of 'heat' and 'movement' are the main triggers). I put up 3 of these at various places on my 3 acres, and honestly, haven't had a deer or horse fly problem since. After 8 weeks, both balls are completely covered with the bugs (so, I don't have flies to deal with because the balls work, not because I had no flies to begin with). If you can deal with the 'visual' (I refer to the them as 'death stars'), these are absolutely the best value for dollar I've found for biting fly control.

We've been using a Horse Pal trap on our property for 10 years or more. It works on the same attraction principle. The problem is that, at over $300 a pop, we can't afford to put them all over the property. This year, we put 6 of these Bug Balls into service and WHAT A DIFFERENCE it has made! We noticed an almost overnight decline in the population of marsh/deer flies. At the end of the season, we can just hang them up in the rafters of our shed, re-apply Tanglefoot in the Spring and Bob's your uncle.

This item did not work for me. I put up three balls in locations where deer flies were most annoying. After a few days just a fly or two got trapped. There was more debris from leaves that stuck to it. Deer flies continued to be relentless. This was in the Adirondack park of NY state. I think this concept is more of a gimmick

Seems to work for us. One is hanging off a sheperds hook and the other is attached to a low branch. Florida yellow flies are no joke. It didn't seem to catch anything at first. Picked up the hook to move it and got attacked by a lot of yellow flies hitting the ball. You really have to find the best spot. It's covered with them now. Need to go back and put a new layer of sticky on it. Definitely not looking forward to that part.
