Fishing: Fly Catchers
Where theres manure, there are flies, and where there are flies, there had better be fly catchers. The reason for this is because flies are annoying! Its true that they wont have much effect on what your worms are doing, but they sure will deter you from wanting to have a worm farm in your basement or garage.
Fly Catchers Make Life Easier
To most people, including your family and guests, having a worm farm is disgusting enough. Having a worm farm that is surrounded by hundreds of buzzing flies is a plain old-fashioned deal breaker. No one is going to put up with that for very long. You need to send flies a very clear message that if they stick around your worms, theyre going to die.
There are a variety of fly catchers to choose from. Youve got your good old-fashioned fly strip that will snag flies out of mid air by attracting them with food. Youve also got your fly killer poison pellets that will knock them dead almost instantly. Then theres my personal favorite, which is the fly trap.
The fly trap is the best way to go because it will attract flies inside, prompt them to lay their eggs and then kill the whole lot. Its a beautiful thing, and it requires almost no work or inconvenience on your part. Ive tried fly catchers from A to Z, folks. Ive even tried talking to my flies, and calmly explaining to them that if they dont go elsewhere theyre dead. Flies dont listen, and when flies dont listen, flies must die.
