Hi, I think most of you know I'm in Farm Country and in this land there is a very big problem with Flies so here for younns that have the same issue is a Key Desposible answer to the Problem It's a self contained unit and is Non-Toxic you can buy these at Lowes individually they're a coupla bux a piece..You fill them with Tap water and then Hang them in tree or in the barn and they start werking in about a day or so and in a coupla weeks you will notice a big loss in flying insects..  |

What kind of tree is that Jack? Looks like oak leaves? PS, It would help if you started using periods at the end of your sentences....................................................  |

Terry, Yeah, I was going to mention the lack of periods (.) in my last post to Jack but forgot (old grey matter, don'tchano). The trees look like Pin Oaks. Got several here on my little chunk of DE.  |

Hi Jim, The Traps werk on the principle of Smell there is a little packet in the bag that melts as you pour in the water, then you tie it up in a tree or barn timbers and allow it to simmer the Flys go after the smell like crazy. 73 Jack KA3ZLR |

"Non-toxic fly traps? I don't understand. You trapping them to make pets or what? " Soup? klc You beat me to the punch line on that one! Was going to say..."And after bag is full, makes a delicious fly soup"! I remember as a kid that we had Japanese beetle traps hanging in the trees around the yard. I don't remember the reasoning, but the catch jar was filled with gasoline...maybe the beetles were attracted to the smell of the oleen, then passed out from the fumes and drowned. "And after jar is full, makes a wonderful firebomb!" It was amazing hows many of those buggers the traps would catch. |

My grandmother and mother both made Shoo Fly pie here in Texas. It was Shoo Fly rather than Shoe Fly. The name was due to the pie being made from molasses. It would attract flies so you always had to shoo flies! Mother and grandma are long gone now. I sure miss that Texas country cooking.

Yeah.
My High Screwl friend, Mike, kept it in a 1 gal glass jug. If you watched it a bit, you could see it move. Kinda like a lava lamp on Quaaludes.
Yes, it did stink.
