Halt Horseflies with the H-Trap and NEW portable trap!
Sentomol’s cleverly designed H-Trap provides horse owners with an effective, chemical free way to help reduce horsefly numbers for this summer season (and future years), making the warmer months more comfortable for horses. It’s ideal for mares and foals too, as the trap helps to reduce fly nuisance without the need for strong chemicals.
The H-Trap taps into a horsefly’s need for blood by mimicking the look of a large animal, to the horsefly at least, by using a large, black, inflatable ball. The ball absorbs heat from the sun, which it then emits, attracting the biting female horseflies that are drawn by heat (infra-red radiation) to what they think is a very attractive animal to feed on. When she has landed on the ball, it becomes apparent that she’s unable to bite it and in trying to make a retreat by flying upwards and away, the surrounding cone shaped cover, channels flies up into a centrally placed catch chamber, which prevents them from escaping.
“The H-Trap is designed for outside use throughout the season, which in the UK typically
ranges from May to October,” says David Loughlin, Managing Director at Sentomol. “Anyone who’s encountered a horsefly bite knows how painful they are, and how the bite can swell and cause prolonged pain too. With the H-Trap, the number of horseflies is significantly reduced, and as only females are caught, the reduction in egg laying leads to a reduction in the local population. Trials have shown a reduction of over 90% in horsefly numbers in areas continually protected by H-Traps.”
For 2016, in addition to the standard successful H-Trap, Sentomol is introducing a smaller and more portable version. This can be used when travelling to shows, or to provide extra protection and paddock coverage around an existing H-Trap. The H-Trap has a RRP of £180 and the new smaller MT Trap £75, both of which include VAT and delivery (to mainland UK addresses). Discounts are given for those buying two or more.
