A Little History on Flies Be Gone
non-toxic fly traps
World renown
Flies Be Gone non-toxic fly traps were developed by
entomologist (bug
experts) in Johannesburg,
South Africa to fight the worst flies in the world. Their
goal was to produce an economical, easy to use, user friendly, environmentally
friendly, ozone friendly fly trap that is safe to have around children
and pets. Also it was urgent to have a well-designed trap CATCH
and hold the flies to break the reproduction cycle. Available fly
repellents and sprays CANNOT do this!
The
Flies
Be Gone "ultra
biomass" bait was developed by leading university researchers
and entomologists along with clever industrial designers and plastics
engineers in
the early 1980's creating Flies
Be Gone non-toxic fly traps. This proven, sucessful
time-tested, and often immitated design is the world renown
Flies Be Gone non-toxic fly trap is you
see today.
FliesBeGone
non-toxic fly traps costs only a fraction of insecticides and works
far more effectively. Flies Be Gone,
sold under various names, has provided successful fly control since
1981 throughout the African continent, Europe, North, Central and
South America and parts of Asia. Flies Be Gone
is used in more than 30 countries worldwide and is patented worldwide.

1. Why Use A Flies Be Gone
Fly Trap & Not A Repellent?
Have you given thought to where the
flies go after you repel them? They come right back to lay there
eggs elsewhere on your food or property!! Why not trap them for
good so they don't have a chance to come back? Flies
Be Gone is much better than any repellent as it becomes
a haven for flies to lay their eggs which hatch inside the trap
unable to escape! See our pictures from
the Bahamas Consistant use of Flies Be Gone
will help stop the egg-laying cycle thus reducing the fly population
dramatically. The flies and their eggs die inside the Flies
Be Gone fly trap!

2.
Is Flies Be Gone designed for indoor or outdoor use?
OUTDOOR.
The idea is to PREVENT flies from entering the indoors, keeping
out of working and living spaces. This is what Flies Be Gone does.
The
Ultra Biomass bait is composed of sterilized food materials. Pour
the bait into the trap and add water. When they warm in the sun,
food scents drift out of the trap and into a wide area of the atmosphere.
This attracts the flies. The warmer the weather, the quicker this
happens. Flies Be Gone should be placed
outdoors in direct sunlight. Not indoors and not under a roof.
The closest exception is in very warm climates such as
semi-deserts and desert areas where it routinely gets around 100F.
In these areas the day temperature and evening temperatures are
warm enough to activate the Ultra Biomass in the trap without being
directly exposed to the sun. This will allow you to hang your Flies
Be Gone under an eve, a tree or any shaded area outdoors
and it will still work very well. Still watch the water level, though,
as it WILL evaporate more.
|
3.
Does the Ultra Biomass Bait begin to attract flies immediately?
AFTER A FEW DAYS. The bait must warm
in the sun and the scents be carried into the atmosphere, as mentioned
above. In warm weather, this begins to happen in about 2 days. In
cooler climates, it can take a few more days to reach full tempo.
The process can be speeded up by activating the bait with water and
keeping the solution warm in a jar indoors before transferring it
outdoors. In both warm and cool climates, the activation can be speeded
up by adding in a pinch of your local damp soil to your Flies
Be Gone. |
4.
Is FliesBeGone Toxic, Poisonous, or an Insecticide?
NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.
Hope we have made this point clear. |
5.
Over how large an area is the trap effective?
About 150 to 300 feet (50 to 100 meters) radius. |
6.
What do we do with it when it is time to replace the trap?
You can safely just throw it away but we strongly suggest
cutting the bag and burying the contents in the soil. Or if you are
a bit adventuresome, the contents can be emptied into a flower bed
since the decomposing flies make an EXCELLENT natural fertilizer (NOT
recommended for vegetable gardens). |
7.
Is there an odor?
SOME. There might be as the flies
begin to decompose. Most odor comes when the Flies Be
Gone becomes full of dead flies, as with any trap. When
Flies Be Gone is 3/4 full, it's time to
replace. We
strongly recommend replacing the trap as soon as it appears full so
as to maintain effectiveness in the area you are protecting.
However, should your trap not be 3/4 full
the best solution is to move the trap downwind or change the trap
a bit more frequently. If you are not getting as many flies in the
trap as normal that's really good news as it indicates that the trap
is breaking the reproduction cycle! |
8.
What happens if the water evaporates due to my local climate?
Best thing is to top it up with your garden hose
or watering can. There should be a minum of 3 inches ( 7.5 cm )
of water in the trap. My rule of thumb is to keep the trap 3/4 full. |
9.
How long does it take to unpack the unit and add the bait ? In other
words, ready to use?
About 45 seconds. |
10.
How big is each shipping pack?
Each trap ships in it's individually plastic, hermetically
sealed pack that is one inch (2.5 cm) in depth. |
11.
Does it catch other types of insects and bugs as well?
YES. Not as well as the flies themselves,
but definitely yes. Any insect that feeds on meat products or attracted
to any form of bio mass such as spoiling food will enter your Flies
Be Gone fly trap. |
