The attractant lures them in, they can't escape and they drown. Victor® fly magnet™ systems are simple to use, safe and effective -- the patented non-poisonous bait is included with each trap, so simply empty it into the trap and add water. The result creates a scent that flies cannot resist. The white color and diamond-shaped lid is also designed to attract more flies. Once trapped, the flies drown in the water-based mixture. This bait is the most effective bait on the market - it out-performs competitive products 20 to 1! The bait is also sold separately. For outdoor use. Safe around children, pets and the environment. All About Flies If you understand the multiplier effect that can be generated by one female fly, you can see how trapping just one can have a dramatic effect on the local population.
The female housefly, for example, lives about two and a half months and lays between 600 and 1,000 eggs during its lifetime. On the average, 12 generations of houseflies are produced in one year. Therefore, that one female could be responsible for many thousands of flies.
Houseflies (black, non-glossy body) and blowflies (metallic blue/green/gold body) are the most common types found around homes -- both are categorized as "filth flies". Houseflies are attracted more toward animal manure and decayed food, while the blowfly is attracted more to animal manure and decayed food, while the blowfly is attracted more to decayed meat (road kill) or fish. Both can be found around garbage. Houseflies will be more dominant around farms and animals, while the blowfly will be more dominant around wooded areas, waterways, and more populated human habitations.
Because of the difference in diets, most baits will attract either house or blow flies. Uniquely, the VICTOR® Bait will be equally effective on either house or blowflies. Tips for Trapping Flies | • | The system will generally attract flies from a distance of 30-40 feet, depending on wind conditions.
| | • | Add water to the trap if the solution gets below the fill line. Water is needed to drown the trapped flies.
| | • | Flies like heat, light, low wind. Place traps in sunny areas. If in an enclosed area such as a barn, place traps within 6 feet of an electrical light.
| | • | Flies search low for food sources. Traps are most effective when placed 24 inches or less from ground level.
| | • | Flies remain dormant until their body temperature reaches approximately 65 degrees F. Do not expect much activity below this temperature.
| | • | Bait is also reusable for a period of time. Remove dead flies from liquid bait and add enough water to return liquid bait level to fill line. Replace bait when you notice a marked decrease in the number of flies in the trap. |
