I’ve seen a bloke here in Australia mix lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint & lemongrass oils with some water and organic dish soap in a spray bottle to make a concoction to spray his cows with.
Fields are looking good.
I have horses and have tried a myriad of fly traps. Despite that we remove poop twice a day, the flies are especially bad this year. People mentioned that the traps are flimsy, I cannot agree. The material serves its purpose. You can bend the hook and the trap will not come apart unless you release it for a cleaning. The opening to clean is small, so I will add a piece of Velcro on the top... I find these the most environmentally friendly traps and they barely smell. I use cat poop for attractant which doesn’t cost anything… If the location does not attract flies, simply relocate. I have found that the best location is in semi shade here in southern Arizona.
I've been using something similar for a long time in Cali, moved up to Oregon and just bought new ones! Love these!! All kinds of old food works!! Thank you for the reminder of hanging low, totally forgot about that!
Thank you for the video.
Great content as always.Thanks for sharing
Cool beans 👍
Those traps are pretty cool! I'll have to give them a shot. Thanks!
We need these for our backyard! Our chicken coop gets infested with, these are great to reduce flies and get FREE snacks for the girls. Getting a few now, thanks for the 10% off Josh!
Wrap fly paper on parts of the gate...
Hi..... Josh, thank you for showing your video homestead chickens duck farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
So grateful for the review! Just was talking about the fly issue last night and looking for a non-chemical solution! The flies are so much worse than usual this year! Love your channel and your holistic approach and journey to living life beautifully!
We have these in our brooder and fair barn and they work great as long as the bait stays wet! We’re catching tons of flies!
Gonna try it out and see if it flys
You could tell already that the cows hardly had any flies on them that’s an awesome idea 💡 Awesome video as usual Josh
Josh, I really enjoy the channel and the holistic methods you teach. You have taught us a lot over the years and have added value to the time spent viewing your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
Agreed
I got one of those last year. I put it by the front door. Worked good at catching house flies. Biting flies are a bit different.they are visually attracted. Those traps get more complicated and large, lol. I haven't tried making one yet. But this type is a simple quick way to catch the regular kind.
On a side note, I feed my horses a garlic supplement which keeps most biting bugs off them. Might get a bit expensive for cattle, but perhaps someone has made a more economical version for cattle?
Fun fact-flies are extremely attracted to coffee with powdered creamer. Try it sometime. Leave a cup on your table and watch how many flies drown themselves in the solution. Its crazy, but true
Beautiful cows
That looks like a very clever product. I really do love a well thought out, simple and effective product like that. The fact that it doesn't use chemicals or poisons is a huge benefit.
Flies are really bad this year, I will have to try these! Thanks Josh
These work really well!! have a cpl around the coop. Only thing I dislike is emptying it... its hard to empty. Takes forever! Got any tricks??
just don't let them get too full...that's the trick
Hello Have you tryed garlic Blocks ?
I love these!!! Been using it for YEARS 👏🏽 Thanks for reminding me I need more
"Shew Fly don't bother me"!
What about diatomaceous earth food grade in the mineral feeder or some cow treats to get it in the cow patties to kill flys
diatomaceous earth will not kill the flies my friend...I don't feed it to my cows at them moment because it's dangerous to their lungs
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Ok,
Josh how do you empty them?
just dump them out through the hole that I showed ya in the beginning of the vid my friend
Some of the only traps I use!! I use beer in it too! Best fly catchers I've had
Thank you brother!! I wish you were closer, I’d love to bring the family out and show them how life was meant to be lived!!
Josh you are amazing Brother. anything that works like these fly traps, wasp traps, whatever, that's good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Josh, what did you use on the ceiling on your front porch? Thanks, enjoy your videos! Joe Gentz

Great video flies have been a big problem in VA.
Josh I am very sorry I was not clear on your live show i am moving out of city on too 16,8 acres house is right in front of the property all downhill from there a gradual descent I am planning chickens and 15 sheep i (think) woven wire is the correct choice if wrong correct me what fence used to be there was barbed wire posts all trashed so you started from scratch so will I , if you could help ballpark guess cost i will have a starting point will be living very near Amish am very excited to leave city thank you very much for your😊 time🙏 WOOO
I can't give you any ballpark figure on anything my friend...without looking at it and knowing the exact lay of the land...you can bet on around $8-$16 per linear foot if you pay someone to build your fences
Man I hope Morgan sees this. He's been having issues with flies too.
Keep up the hard work brother.
I’m glad u showed this because I seen it on your other video in the back of your Kubota and kept trying to figure out what it was lol. Im going to have to get me one!
Love this channel
Thanks for sharing
Keep up on the good videos
if you give the flies to the chickens is there a risk of parasites?
from flies? You remember that chickens eat bugs, worms, dirt, manure, grass and virtually anything they can come upon....never even heard of a chicken getting worms my friend
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Thanks! I'm just a city boy trying to learn what I can from ya. I appreciate your response.
Love this! This is awesome!
Your outtakes how about a Sunday Sunday in your best monster truck announcer voice.
Hey Josh thank you for sharing the video with me woo
It must work when you see multiple farming channels doing the same thing, having their fly traps at the water trough.
Hi Josh, 👋 another great video, how's the pond repair going?
great buddy....almost up to the spillway pipe!
Consider raising Guinea fowl. They'll eat tons of bugs plus they scratch through poop files to spread it around. Might help with the flys.
yep we have guineas running around in the pastures but it's not enough just yet
Cool
Dumb question- how do you empty them? 🤔😉
I guess you don’t. But you could unhook the cone so it’s funnelling down and then let all the dead flies fall out.
just unhook that hook I showed ya in the beginning and pour them out in the chicken coop
Ahh! OK, Josh- I thought it might have a zipper or velcro somewhere! LOL!
Weve tried everything here in kansas and traps dont work. We tried bug lights and stinky traps and pesticides. The stable flies here are blood eaters and stinky wont work. Sticky glue traps work but have to be changed a lot. We broke down and started using cattle rubs with mineral oil and ultra boss pesticide. These flies cause problems bad with all the critters on our farm including us. Cant wear shorts around here. I made traps with cider, sugar, and baking soda that emits carbon dioxide and it worked but its short lived mix.
I'm not sure if the flies you're dealing with would be attracted to this, but I got the DynaTrap a month ago because the yellow biting flies were TERRIBLE. You need a power source but man it works. I caught about 1 cup of biting flies and other flying pests (mostly biting flies though) in about 4 weeks. Just emptied it out and was amazed. You replace the bulb every 4 months ($10) and it's so worth it. I don't know if it'll work with poop flies though since it's not stinky.
@@angyles1 that might work on these guys. They seek out blood meals like mosquitos. They look like house flys and bite your legs and drink your blood. Nasty little buggars and they hurt. Theyll be hundreds on my cows legs sometimes. They love the heat. The hotter it is the worse they get.
@@damienroser8004 That sounds a lot like the yellow biting flies we have here in NE florida. I highly recommend this if you can get power to it. There's an initial investment but after that, I'll totally spend $30 a year to keep it going.
these worked for me buddy...along with moving the cows 2 times per day
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer we tried similar with hopes and found out our flies are not interested in smelly stuff. These flies look just like normal flies but bite and drink blood. Its the devils version of what was just an annoyance fly. I used to spray pesticides all over the place and got very limited relief. I finally started treating the animals that were suffering. I found out they respond great to skin so soft but it would cost a fortune to treat all the animals. We deal with them the best we can.
"You'd love to have me back", I came back and you just ignored me! Why?
because you drive a FORD lol....na just kidding fella glad to have ya!
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer hahaha 😆 Didn't I see you sittin(workin) on your Ford a couple vids ago..lol 😉😆
😎👍
I need to order a few of those! Are they on your Amazon lists?
special link for ya in the vid description with a coupon I believe
Got my order placed! Thanks!
Come on Josh, your fly traps are a joke! Coons will tear those to shreads. Plus, those traps won't catch one tenth of one percent of flys in a cattle herd. You just as well sit out in your pasture with a fly swatter.
yep...you're totally right.....everything I do is wrong brotha.....sorry I only had critters get in the traps when I placed them near the creeks or edge of the forest...otherwise no issues. Look at the flies in today's livestream...they work...these cows had thousands of flies before....also moving them frequently helps
