Effective Outdoor Fly Control
Houseflies can quickly become a nuisance around homes, outdoor entertaining areas, rubbish bins, animal housing and compost areas.
The Pestrol Fly Bottle Trap helps intercept flies before they reach your living spaces. Simply add your preferred fly bait, hang the trap in a suitable location and allow the attractant to do the work.
The transparent bottle allows you to easily see when the trap is working and when it may need emptying or refreshing.
DIY Fly Bait Recipes
| Recipe | Ingredients | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar & Apple Cider Vinegar | ½ cup sugar, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ½ cup warm water, 1 tsp salt | General housefly control around homes and gardens |
| Apple Cider Vinegar & Dish Soap | 1 cup apple cider vinegar, 2–3 drops dishwashing liquid | Fruit flies and smaller flying insects |
| Sugar & Yeast Mix | 1 cup warm water, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp dry yeast | Outdoor fly control, especially in warmer weather |
| Overripe Fruit Bait | Pieces of banana, apple or pear with a small amount of water | Garden areas, compost bins and fruit trees |
| Molasses Mix | ½ cup molasses or golden syrup, 1 cup warm water, 1 tbsp sugar | Heavy fly activity around larger outdoor areas |
| Protein Bait | Small piece of fish, cat food or meat scraps with ½ cup water | Farms, lifestyle blocks and severe fly infestations |
Simple Setup
Getting started takes just a few minutes:
- Open the entry holes.
- Add your chosen fly bait.
- Hang the trap approximately 1–2 metres above the ground.
- Position away from areas where people gather.
- Monitor and refresh bait as required.
Why This Product Is Different
Many disposable fly traps need constant replacement and create unnecessary waste.
The Pestrol Fly Bottle Trap is designed to be reused again and again. Simply empty the contents, add fresh bait and put it back into service.
Its clear bottle design also makes it easy to monitor results without opening the trap.
What To Expect
When used with an effective fly attractant, flies are drawn into the trap through the entry points.
Results can vary depending on weather conditions, fly pressure and bait selection, but many users notice a reduction in fly activity within days of installation.
For best results, use multiple traps in larger outdoor areas.
How It Works
The trap uses bait to attract houseflies into the container.
Once inside, flies struggle to find the exit and become trapped within the bottle. Over time this helps reduce the local fly population and minimise nuisance fly activity around your property.
