About the Fantail Fly Trap
Had enough of complicated, messy fly traps? Say hello to the simplest solution.
Just add water, hang it where the flies are and relax while it fills up with thousands of flies.
The Fantail Fly Trap is the perfect solution for anyone who wants to get rid of their fly problem quickly and effortlessly. No hassle, no mess, just a fly-free place.
Spread a few around your property this summer and watch the flies disappear completely. They say size doesn't matter, but this trap is three times bigger than other popular fly traps. That means three times as many flies caught for the same price.
The proof in numbers
What one bag does
No marketing spin. Just what ends up in the bag over one summer.
Day 1
Day 7How it works
Catches flies before they become a plague, without any poison
It's an old idea, and a simple one: don't spray the flies you've already got. Lure them in and catch them before they breed.
- 01
The attractant draws them in
The natural attractant in the bag is irresistible to flies. They come from all around, straight into the trap instead of onto your animals.
- 02
The funnel only lets them in
Flies crawl in through the funnel opening, but they can't find their way back out.
- 03
The cycle ends in the water
Trapped in the water before they can lay new eggs. No maggots, no next wave. The cycle is broken.
Why that works without any poison
Because you're not fighting one fly, you're fighting the next generation. Every fly caught is one that will never lay its 500 eggs. So the fly pressure drops week by week, instead of building up.
Poison kills the flies after they're already here, tormenting your animals. The trap catches them before they reach the shed and the herd.
Ready in 60 seconds
Here's how easy it is to put one up
No tools, no assembly, no power. Three quick steps and the trap works for you.
- 01
Cut it open
Cut the bag open at the marked line and pull the funnel opening up.
- 02
Attractant in, then water
There's a small silver foil sachet in with each trap: that's the attractant. It has no printing on it, so it's easy to mistake for packaging. Don't throw it away. Cut it open, tip it in, then add lukewarm water up to the fill line.
- 03
Hang it in the sun
Hang it in a sunny spot, a little away from your animals: on the shed, the fence or by the manure pile. Done.
Good to know: the first flies usually turn up within 24 hours, and the attractant hits full strength after 1 to 3 days. Once the first flies are in, they pull in the rest, and from then on you can watch the bag fill up.
Side by side
Spray, fly strips, bug zappers, and why none of them really solves the problem
Each alternative does one job. Only the natural trap does the lot.

Chemical spray
Works for a while, then less and less with every generation of flies. In the end you're spraying every day against an enemy that went resistant ages ago.
Fly strips
They catch a few flies, but never all of them. And full sticky strips aren't a nice sight above the feed trough.
Bug zapper
It works, but it needs power, costs a fair bit up front and kills every insect that comes too close, good or bad.
Something that works, poisons nothing and lets you get on with your day. That's the difference.

Frequently asked questions
What farmers ask before they buy
How fast does the trap work?
It usually catches the first flies within 24 hours, as long as you've cut open the foil sachet with the attractant and tipped it in. The attractant hits full strength after 1 to 3 days, and from then on you can watch the bag fill up. You can usually expect noticeably fewer flies within the first week. So give it a few days.
Is the trap really safe for my animals?
Yes. It comes with a purely natural attractant, not an insecticide. Nothing gets into the air, the feed or onto the animals. Just hang the trap a little away from them, so the scent that draws the flies in stays away from your cows, horses and chooks.
Which flies does it work on? March flies too?
The trap is made for the everyday flies on the farm and in the house: exactly the ones that turn up in their thousands around the shed, the yards and the stock. March flies follow different cues and are hard to catch with a scent attractant, so honestly, that's not what this trap is made for. If you want to solve your fly problem around the farm, you're in the right place.
Where's the best place to hang it?
In a sunny, warm spot, where the attractant is most active. A little away from your animals: at the shed entrance, on the fence, next to the manure pile or by the paddock shelter. Rule of thumb: where the flies come from, not right in among your animals.
How long does one bag last?
Depending on the fly pressure and the weather, one bag works for several weeks, often half a season or a whole one before it's full. With a really heavy infestation, it's best to hang several traps. Once a bag is full, you simply throw the whole thing away. No cleaning, no refilling.
And if it doesn't work on my place?
Then you get your money back. You've got 60 days to try the trap in your own time. If you're not seeing noticeably fewer flies around your place, send us a short message and we'll refund the purchase price. No questions asked.
