Epps Biting Fly Traps
Reduce biting flies by 80%…whether they are biting your horses, cows, dogs or kids, they deliver a very painful bite. The Epps kills horse flies, deer flies, and all other biting flies. Studies have shown that the trap kills an average of 1 pound of biting flies each day… WOW! This is the ultimate biting flytrap, and you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it… The trap requires no chemicals, or messy baits, just add soapy water. This trap is environmentally sound… In the past, poisons have been used to control insects. However the use of poisons is not favored due to the deleterious effects on the environment, and the possibility of killing potentially beneficial insects.
