2 INCHES OF DEAD FLYS IS MY GOAL OF THE DAY... ON THE DONKEY CAMERA--- IF IT IS TURNED IN THE DIRECTION OF TEH "CAFE le DONK" YOU CAN SEE MY LEAST EFFICIENT FLY CATCHER-- THE REALLY ACTIVE ONE IS BEHIND TEH DUMPSTER WHICH I THINK IS OFF CAMERA..
SO HOW YOU DO THIS? ......YOU BUY ONE POUND OF CHICKEN LIVERS-- EAT 3/4'S OF THEM-- AND PUT THE OTHER 1/4 IN THE BOTTOM OF TEH "GALLON JUG CATCHER..." ( WITH TOP SEVERED AND INVERTED..seal with duct tape....) WITH A LITTLE WATER----- FIRST DAY IT IS NOT TOO BAD... BUT LET THE SUN GET ON IT AND HEAT IT UP JUST A BIT AND IT WILL BE MUCH MORE EFFICIENT--( AND STINK) -- TOTALLY CHEMICAL FREE-- IT CAN BE FLUSHED ( OR BURIED WHERE A DOG CAN NOT DIG IT UP)
MY SUCCESS HAS BEEN 4 INCHES WHICH THEN HAS TO BE "RENEWED" BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING CLOSE TO COVERING THE ENTRANCE HOLE.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT FLYS-- NORMAL HOUSEHOLD-- SHINEY HOUSEHOLD- SHINEY BIGGER HEADS 3/4 INCH BITERS-- -- THESE COME IN GREEN HEADS TOO-- BUT USUALLY NEARER THE SALT MARSHES OF THE COASTLINE.--- THEN TEH 1.5 GREY AND BLACK REALLY BAD BITERS - THE GREY AND BLACK ARE THANKFULLY LONERS-- WE USUALLY SEE ONLY ONE OR TWO A YEAR. BUT THEY CAN CAUSE EVEN THE MOST SEDENTARY DONKEY TO RUN AROUND TO TRY AND GET IT OFF THERI BACK .

people have asked......
I DO HAVE A MOSQUITO CATCHER-- MIGHT COST YOU $20 TO SET UP INSTEAD OF TEH $500 VARIETY-
IT IS A 20 INCH WINDOW "BOX FAN" WITH NETTING-- NOTHING FANCY.... WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT A FABRIC STORE== WITH AN OFFICE STAPLER MAKE THE NETTING INTO A FUNNEL WHICH YOU THEN - TIE ONTO THE EXIT SIDE OF TEH FAN- HERE COMES THE HARD PART...Attracting the mosquitos--- THE MOST SUCCESSFUL I HAD WAS IN THE DOOR OF THE DOG KENNEL-- I WOULD LEAVE THE LIGHT ON TO ATTRACT THE MOSQUITOS-- AND MOTHS AND A FEW OTHERE ODD THINGS...- TEH FAN WOULD SEND THEM INTO THE NETTING WHERE THEY WOULD STAY...
2 FACTS-- ONE NIGHT..... I SET UP A $500 commercial MOSQUITO catcher ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY FROM MY FAN CONTRAPTION.. AND I CAPTUREd 8 MOSQUITOS- BY ACTUAL COUNT.... but.. IN MY NETTING I HAD THOUSANDS-- BEFORE I CONDENSED TEHM BY STEPPING ON THEM IT LOOKED LIKE 1/2 A CUP.
second fact--- to capture tehm i twisted the net close to the fan and set the collection of very live mosquitos on the dog house roof. and soaked it with " BUG killer" 4 hours later tehy were all still alive- which is when i just stepped on them= that worked. save your money... --- my foot was easily more effective than teh chemical.
actually third fact---- i couldn't even give away my $500 mosquito catcher to friends who had "heard about clearing 1/4 an acre like the ad said...they kept giving it back to me as useless-- i eventually set it out on the street--- where it was for a very long time before i took it to the dump.
before you believe what you hear... follow the dollar....
thus endeth the lesson for the day--
******
sad note? i was afraid include teh names oof teh products-- because tehy are big wealthy companies.
