They really work!

We have chickens and live in close proximity to a few hundred horses. I saw a YouTube video from another livestock owner about these Black Balls and how well they work.I am greatly impressed! 98% of the Flys on our property disappeared. The closest ball hung by our chicken run is probably 30 feet from the back door, the Flys left the door area too!I did have to buy a bicycle tire pump but the kit came with three valves to pump the three balls up with.I used clothesline rope to hang one from a tree branch near the run and hung another outside the actual henhouse . After hanging I applied the sticky adhesive. I would suggest wearing latex gloves. I had ordered the adhesive in a spray can as well. I brushed the top half of the ball and sprayed the bottom half. I'd suggest putting something under where the balls are hanging because hot Temps (100+ degrees) will cause some to drip off and it will prevent someone walking into them. I turned a large urn planter upside down under one and put a 5 gallon bucket upside down under the other one.We didn't have a lot of Flys stick to the balls but they definitely left our property. These things work great! I can't reccomend them highly enough.

Doesn’t work

We researched what to buy prior to making this purchase. The reviews raved about the effectiveness against horse flies. We have been battling green head horse flies in our back yard to no avail, and this product hasn’t caught a single one of them. We used half the can of adhesive on one ball thinking that we would add more if necessary. One half can thoroughly coated the ball but the next day we found the adhesive dripping off the ball like it was melting from the heat of the sun. We attempted to move the ball from spot to spot in the yard, some more shaded areas than others but it didn’t help. So we couldn’t have added more adhesive to begin with because the amount we had originally used wasn’t even staying on the ball. Where the adhesive dripped onto the ground had killed the grass. My husband was bitten by a horse fly as he moved the ball to a shaded spot and turned to shake the fly onto the ball. The fly landed on the ball and promptly flew away. We have managed to get several gnats and a few Japanese beetles, but not a single horse fly. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone buy this product.

Deer and Horsefly Killer

I have a large backyard where a pool is located along with a swamp in the wood just past my lawn. Deer and Horse flies spawn like armies each year and drive me nuts during parties or just working in the yard. I was Skeptical on this working, the day before my July 4th party in New England, I blew these black balls up, applied the glue and hung them only 2 ft off the ground around my pool and the yard where I place my volleyball court up. Within 24 hours I caught at least 100 of them, made the party so much more fun. I wished I had more and came back on just to do that. Being in the sun constantly the glue does try after sometime and you have to reapply it but I'm happy to do it. I had also bought a 70$ hanging one with a umbrella canopy over it to trap them and threw it away, it did nothing for the problem. I recommend this product!

Works pretty good

The media could not be loaded. I had an epiphany after a giant horse fly bit me on my Yonkers one afternoon. I ordered this immediately. I live in New England and I don’t have a farm but i do live in the woods. it works pretty good by my pool. My only complaint is that the glue will drip off a bit onto the ground as it gets so hot from sitting in the sun. This was only after a few days.

It works!!!

The media could not be loaded. This ABSOLUTELY works to catch those evil, biting, yellow deer flies! In this video, the trap has been hanging for only 4 days! It was also very easy to set up but you will need a basketball hand pump! I live in Florida & have not seen any evidence of the glue dripping off which I was concerned about. I used rubber throwaway gloves to rub a small amount all over the ball. It does not have to be thick to catch them & therefore, no drips! (I recommend hanging the ball in place & then apply the glue last.) It can be rained on & it will not affect the stickiness at all as I catch a large amount after a rain. We used a plastic hook (made for hanging your Christmas lights to your roof) to hang it from the house & it works great!! Buy the trap!!! It works!!!

Sticky and messy, no attractant

Friend of mine with cattle raved about this product and it worked well for him. My experience was the opposite. No livestock, just a lot of horse flies in Mississippi. Painting the ball was very difficult due to the small brush and round surface. Hung the ball. Painted several other objects and left all where we usually hung out outside. Season results... one horse fly, couple dozen house flies, few assorted flying bugs. Adhesive slowly runs down whatever it is painted on and drips/runs off. Suggest trying the spray adhesive and your own objects. My results were not worth the money

Works on deer flies

I have tried a couple different ones and at the cost it sucks having to read that something works and you find out it doesn't. Well this is not the case with these. They work great for deer flies and many other flying insects. I do recommend that you get a small stiff brisel brush for applying the liquid.
