Mechanism and Function
This fly trap utilizes a funnel design to capture insects without the use of electricity. It consists of a wire mesh net cage with a bait pot located at the base. Flies are attracted to the bait (not included) and naturally fly upward into the inner cone, where they become trapped within the netted enclosure.
Application and Placement
Designed for outdoor environments, this device is suitable for gardens, patios, farms, stables, and courtyards. For optimal performance, it is recommended to hang the trap approximately 1 meter (3 to 4 feet) above the ground. In spring, it functions best in sunny locations, while in hot summer months, it should be placed in shaded areas.
Material and Durability
The unit is constructed from breathable wire mesh and durable plastic components, making it weather resistant and suitable for extended outdoor use. The trap is designed to be reusable; once full, the contents can be emptied, and the unit rinsed with water before resetting.
Maintenance and Setup
Setting up the catcher involves attaching the mesh cage to the bait pot and hanging it using the attached hook. Maintenance requires periodic emptying of trapped insects and refreshing the bait source to ensure continued effectiveness throughout the season.
