    I bought a couple of those Captivator fly traps several years ago. Over time I found that a large glass jar with a neck for a hanging wire, and an opening to fit the Captivator top is a permanent catcher that cleans easily . Furthermore, THE VERY BEST (and free) attractant is a couple of dead bluegills. Hang the trap in a nearby tree. After about a day you will begin catching so many flies that you will need to use them to feed the fish in the pond every 2-3 days. I have two traps I made that way, and we have had maybe 5-6 flies TOTAL in the house in THE PAST FIVE YEARS. FREE TIP: Once there are 6-8 inches of flies inside, spray briefly with brake parts cleaner. BOOM! You will IMMEDIATELY kill about 10,000 flies. They rot and attract even more flies. The brake parts cleaner evaporates in about a minute and the trap goes back to work. You can thank me later.

    Some additional fly know-how. By adding a drop or two of dish soap to a trap, the flies will be dead very soon after they enter. Soapy water leads to rapid extermination because it wreaks havoc with insects' exoskeleton causing it that to break down. If you add some bright yellow color or bright yellow-green color to any trap whether it is a purchased or homemade trap, you will attract many more flies. Just don't cover up all of the see-through area. I actually use plain old yellow frisbees set out on the ground by my vegetable garden, and with some soapy water in them, they catch hundreds of flies every day just setting there with no real 'trap' feature involved. Also, I have read that some types of flies are attracted to certain shades of blue.

    A 2ft x 2ft wire cage with 1/2 in wire will work...put a post in your pond and afix the cage to the top of the post which is about 6 to 12 inches above the water . fill the cage with fish scraps etc. The flies come to the odor and land and lay eggs, the the eggs turn to maggots and the fall through the wire to waiting fish.....This works great and feeds the fish.

    When I was a kid, my father made his own fly trap on our farm (Australia). He got a 4 gallon bucket and placed a brick inside on its end, central to the base.
    Then he added water to about half the brick height. He placed some liver on top of the brick to attract the flies.
    The top of the bucket had a fly-wire / mesh lid with a cone / funnel at the centre leading in for the entry. The flies would crawl down to the liver and not be able to get out again.
    It worked well, but stunk, so you'd have to sit it somewhere away from people.

    When asked to describe insect species that can pollinate flowers, most people think of bees, butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds. However, flies are critical pollinators in both natural and agricultural systems. A recent analysis of crop species found that flies visited 72% of the 105 crops studied (bees visited 93%).

    Gr8 vid. I purchased 4 fly catchers that used plastic bags for containment. Being that they are only $5 people rather buy new ones instead of reusing them because they aren't sure how. In addition, where I lived, each bag would fill in less than a month. So 4 more months it would come to 5months X 4 bags X $5ea. = $110. Please note that the bags work in the identical way the Starbar does, which uses bait, a vented inverted conical plastic piece and water. So when my traps filled with flies I emptied the bags into the flower garden before recycling them as per instructions on the bags.
    However, rather than purchase 12 more, which seemed dubious, I was strolling through 99¢ Store I found these perfect size hard plastic containers with twist on lids. They would be perfect. Then I got home and cut out those conical pieces from the old traps so I could mount them on the bottoms of the new container lids, which I bore out using a hot nail. Then I epoxied the old cones to the under side of the new lids using cheap epoxy, which I also got at the 99¢ Store. Then in with the beef and water and there they've been working for years.

    Have you looked into what Jonathon Lundgren says about flies? If I remember correctly, if you can get a good population of decomposed bugs such as dung beetles, it will elongated the or significantly decrease the fly issue. Also, you won’t get these dung beetles and other beneficial decomposes if you’re using dewormers and ivermectin.
    If you’re doing set stocking with all your animals then you’ll need to be using the wormers. If you’re able to do rotational grazing at all, and able to give your pastures a long enough rest to break the parasite cycles then you can work towards removing wormers.

    I don't know if you saw pilgrims biting fly trap which is constructed with trap and toss at the top of it, a black ball at the bottom inside of the structure, and a structure composed of black netting shaped in a trapezoid to direct them into the top upon which the trap and toss device is mounted. I believe the trap and toss works under the same principle as the one you used. The big difference is that the bug ball under and inside the structure attracts more horse flies and deer flies. Anyway thanks for sharing your experience, take care.

    I have made traps with 2 litre coke bottles with the cap on and an opening or two cut down low on the side. I used beer to attract them. Filled the bottom of the bottle up to the openings. Left it outside, forgot about it, came back days or weeks later and it was a seething hell of flies. Still more were crazy to get into it. I bought some beer this summer, but neither the slugs nor the flies seem to like it. I have an idea though for an extremely secret ingredient called pee that seems to attract lots of flies.

    40 years...I had no Idea there were wingless ducks...also have to clean the flies out regularly or they will make baby flies inside that can/may get out of it.

    What does it smell like? I have a small backyard so I just want to know what smell I'm getting into before hand :) thanks for sharing!

      right up close it's unpleasant. I don't know how to describe the smell. Not really like poo, not so much like death... but certainly not pleasant.
