Go Natural Fly Trap – Reusable Outdoor Fly Catcher with Natural Herring Meal Attractant

Go Natural Outdoor Fly Trap with Herring Meal Attractant

The Go Natural Fly Trap is a pesticide-free outdoor bait trap that lures flies in with a 100% natural herring meal attractant and holds them inside the jar. You mix the included attractant satchel with water in the trap, hang it in the sun away from the house, and flies are drawn in through the top and cannot find their way out. It helps reduce house flies, blowflies and other common nuisance flies around outdoor living areas, bins and animal yards.

How the Trap Works

Flies find food by smell, and decomposing fish is one of the strongest lures there is. When the herring meal attractant is mixed with water and left in the sun, it gives off an odour that draws flies from around the yard. They enter through the openings under the yellow lid, drop into the jar and cannot find their way back out, eventually drowning in the liquid. There are no sprays or insecticides involved, so the control comes from the bait and the trap design alone.

Where to Hang It

Because the attractant works by smell, placement matters. Hang the trap outdoors in direct sun, at least 3 metres away from doors, windows and outdoor eating areas, so flies are drawn away from where you spend time rather than towards it. Good spots include near wheelie bins, compost bays, chicken coops, dog runs and the edge of the patio or deck. The hook on the lid lets you hang it from a tree branch, fence, hook or bracket.

Pesticide-Free Fly Control

For households that would rather not spray insecticide around children, pets, veggie gardens and outdoor kitchens, a bait trap is a practical alternative. It keeps catching flies day and night while it is baited, with no fumes or residue, and the jar can be emptied and rebaited with a new attractant satchel.

Setting Up and Emptying the Trap

Take the lid off the trap and empty the attractant satchel into the jar. Add 1 cup of cold tap water and 1 cup of lukewarm tap water, then stir until the attractant dissolves. Refit the lid and hang the trap in direct sunlight, about 3 metres away from entry doors and windows. The smell builds over the first few days in warm weather, so catches usually increase after setup. When the trap is full or the odour fades, empty it well away from living areas, seal the contents in a bag for the bin, rinse the jar and rebait with a fresh attractant. Wear gloves when emptying, and keep the trap where children and pets cannot knock it down.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Go Natural fly trap work?
The herring meal attractant mixed with water gives off a strong smell that draws flies in through the top of the trap. Once inside, they cannot find their way out and drown in the liquid.

What is a good pesticide-free fly trap for outdoors?
A water bait trap with a natural attractant, like the Go Natural Fly Trap, controls flies without sprays or insecticides. Hang it in the sun, away from doors and outdoor eating areas.

Which fly trap catches house flies and blowflies?
Bait traps with a food-based attractant such as herring meal are well suited to house flies and blowflies, which are drawn to decaying food smells.

Can I use it indoors?
No. The attractant has a strong odour and the trap is designed for outdoor use only. Hang it at least 3 metres from doors and windows.

Why is the trap not catching many flies yet?
The attractant usually takes a few days in warm sun to build up its smell. Make sure the trap is in direct sun and the attractant is fully dissolved.
