LOCATION

∙
Place the horsefly trap where a high amount of horseflies is to be expected, e.g. river, lake,
pools, swamps, etc.
∙
Before setting up, find out which trajectories the horseflies follow from the waters to you and
place the horsefly trap as close as possible to this trajectory.
∙
Make sure that the ball can move freely to simulate animal movements.
∙
Place the horsefly trap in as sunny a spot as possible so that the ball can be sufficiently heated
by the sun.
∙
To prevent the horsefly trap from being used as a toy by younger or temperamental animals,
place the horsefly trap out of reach of the animals (outside the pasture/paddock) or erect a
fence around the horsefly trap.
7.2

FILLING AND EMPTYING

∙
Fill the collection container with water and add a few drops of washing-up liquid. This addition
causes the surface tension of the water to decrease and the tension is no longer sufficient to
carry the insect. This causes the horsefly to drown more quickly.
∙
Depending on the catch rate, the collection container must be emptied daily or weekly.

Regularly check that the horsefly trap is secure and has a firm standing.

Some animals use the horsefly trap as a plaything or nibble on its funnel. In this
