Why your Fantail trap keeps catching longer, and your place finally gets some peace.

One summer on the farm that started it all.

Anyone who knows a horse stable or a cow paddock in the height of summer knows the problem. Hundreds of flies per stall. Animals getting jumpy, rubbing against the doors and barely able to eat in peace.

The usual sticky strips last two days. The little hanging traps from the hardware store are full before you can order more. That's how Fantail started: not in a boardroom, but out of frustration with products that only half solve the problem.

A fly trap for Australian farms has to be in a different league to a sticky strip from the hardware store.

What we found

Why most fly traps are made far too small.

After testing different makers it was clear: most fly traps on the Australian market are designed for houses, not farms. They hold a few hundred flies, need refilling every week, and their attractants quickly lose their pull in the summer heat.

We wanted the exact opposite: a trap you hang once and can forget about for weeks.

• A big catch chamber instead of narrow plastic bottles
• Weather-resistant outer skin for outdoor use
• Attractant activated with water: no batteries, no power

The Fantail method

One trap. Weeks of catching. Zero effort.

The Fantail Fly Trap combines three things that single products rarely bring together:

• a large-volume chamber for a big number of flies
• a water-activated attractant that works for weeks
• a hanger you put up in seconds and throw away completely after use

Hang it, add water, forget it. No cleaning, no refilling, no power.

Our promise

Fantail doesn't sell miracle cures.

We sell a product that does one thing properly: catching flies. Lots of them. For a long time. Full stop.

Today the Fantail trap is working on farms right across Australia.

From horse properties in the Hunter Valley to dairy farms in Gippsland, from backyard chook keepers in Perth to grazing country in Queensland, animal owners tell us their animals are calmer, the shed doors can stay open again, and summer feels like summer again.

We don't make a mass-market product. We make fly control the way it should work on an Australian farm.
