does it attract horseflys

I believe so. It attracts all that we have around here and some of them are large, biting flies. I assume they are horse flies. Try it and see. Just follow the instructions and get out of the way. Mine started catching flies in under an hour.

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...

I do not know, but for the price, it is worth it! My traps are still working.

I couldn't recall whether it has one or two packs of attractant, from the other response I gather it just has one. If the trap works for you you will definitely need to buy additional pheremones as time goes on.

Brush it on anything yellow, such a yellow bucket, hard hat, yellow posterboard, etc.. It should work.. I have been saving blue old Maxwell House coffee containers, blue buckets, to use this spring to trap yellow flies, deer flies that have been horrible the last couple of years here in coastal GA. It was amazing how well the Tanglefoot & the color blue attracted & trapped so many flies. I am talking anywhere between 400 or 500 hundred that went for the blue instead of me, or my animals. Tanglefoot is the bomb!

The gnats love it! Not one flea tho.........really disappointing because I bought it to trap fleas. I think gnats are drawn to the light above the trap. I also notice tiny moths in the trap.....Hope this helps.

I haven't seen any. It catches most mosquitoes and a few small and curious butterflies that are attracted to the light.

I've used 2 Flies Be Gone traps so far and have not seen any dragon flies or bees in them. (and I would stop using it if it killed bees!!!) I don't think the smell that it emits would attract a bee.

No it does not. If I could do it again I would not buy this product. The couple of times when I really needed it, it totally failed. The mosquitoes were really bad and it caught a couple of moths. Save your money.

I am pretty sure the smell attracts more flies than you would normally see in the area where you hang the trap.The good thing is that the trap lures them so they don't fly near your windows or your patio table.

I can't say yes or no. I was having a rabbit and ground hog problem, and for those animals it did work. Unfortunately, I soon ran into a problem with a "herd" or field mice that decided to ravage my garden. I can't say one or or another if the product attracted the mice, but who knows for sure.

I don't believe so. I never saw a housefly in the trap. The method of attraction isn't aimed at houseflies.

I think it does attract flies from all of my neighbor's backyards. I wish everyone on the block had one of these. I don't think this is actually a problem because it does trap them very effectively and I do not see any flies other than right at the trap.

Gaetano, We have seen a wide range of flies attracted and captured by the trap. In general these would be in the family referred to as "common" or "filth" flies. No doubt most are black so I could easily say yes, they'll capture black flies. But there are many black flies it won't catch like black biting flies commonly found up north. I think the easiest way to understand what kind of fly this trap will capture is to think about flies as being attracted to either garbage or to animals. The ones attracted to garbage will readily be attracted to this trap as well. And yes, many of those flies will be black. But it will also catch other kinds of flies with a wide range of colors. As for the flies that are attracted to people and animals looking for a blood meal? This trap won't help with that kind of a fly problem. Cheers, Jonathan Customer Care U-Spray Bugspray

It catches anything that comes near to it. I do not have a blueberry maggot problem so I don't really know. It works like the old sticky fly traps.

The bag does hang very nicely. The bag gets so full of flies so fast it's unbelievable. It smells terrible so don't hang it near your doors. It definitely is more interesting to flies than your horses are. buy a lot of them you'll be changing them at least once a week but you are sure cutting down the fly population.

It really does stink, so I would not put it in any area that you need to access since it does attract the flies. Even though it says that it will not work well in an enclosed area, I did put one in my barn for grins and it really did work. My barn is open at both ends, so maybe that helped. But it does stink, so I will not be doing that again. These have been great for the outside, though! It sure has made my summer with the horses so much better!

I tried mine in the barn, and it didn't do very well attracting flies. This year I am going to buy the fly trap that comes in the bag. I have 2 glass jars inside the zapper and I am going to make up the stinky solution in the bag and pour it into the glass jars. My plan it that since they love that stinky stuff so much, they will go check out the jars and get zapped.

This would be great for your situation. I am not sure how the horses will do with the smell. It smells like rotting chicken so keep it away from the house and down wind from the horses and it should be fine. You will be amazed at how many flys get trapped in one bottle. We throw the entire bottle away and just order news ones. It gets so many flys I can't imagine cleaning it out. They go in, but they don't come out.
