Man Built This Trap In His Backyard, And It’s Disgusting How Well It Works -horsefly-

The summer months are all about spending time in the sun and warm weather, but one of the biggest drawbacks of the season is the bug life. As soon as the temperature starts to rise, flies, mosquitoes, and other pests seem to come out in droves!Handling these insects can be a challenge if you're not prepared. Luckily, there are a number of simple and effective DIY projects that can help out with pest control in a big way.Take this device, courtesy of Salem, Indiana man Dan Owsley. After years of dealing with horseflies each summer, he devised a simple contraption that takes the pesky bugs

June bugs are gentle giants. I always look forward to Summer in LA. They are an iridescent green color and beautiful. One got in my house and I let him stay. The deserve to flourish and not be trapped and killed.

[@phcert6267]

So, in doing research, I saw this same info in an article by Angie Barnes, similar title, on Boredom Therapy. ... None of these or those dead critters look like flies. All look like beetles.

[@ProsperOn]

I love how this guy basically stole his script from two different articles about this, either that or he is a terrible writer and repeats the name of the man and where he's from twice.

[@visremusic5388]

Bud life is best during summer. A cold one with the boys.

[@vincelok894]

My parent's old cottage used to be plagued by those (and similar) bugs. OMG, it's like they carry pliers around and pinch you with them... that's how it feels when they bite. Luckily, they are slow moving, unlike a house fly, so you can usually smash them...after they bite you. I'd build 100 of these.

[@clavo3352]

Can't help but love a fellow inventor that shares his knowledge (aka intellectual property). I think one could also use several glass panes instead of the plexiglass to make the flying-fly-deflector part that knocks the lil bugs into the soapy water. Also, you can fill the tub with used anti-freeze and drip some to the ground along a 2x4 etc and also catch n kill a zillion cockroaches. That would need a grid though, to keep the horses, ducks, etc from drinking the anti-freeze.

Look closely folks! Those are not the "brown" June bugs. The shape of their wings are those of a fly/wasp type flying insect. They turn that color after being in the water for some time. The man needs a medal! Great idea!

[@FastFXS]

Micheal Mathis, finally, someone with some deductive reasoning. You are one of the few who knows a horsefly when seen. If most calling them “June bugs” were to be bitten by one, they’d surely know what one looks like. The wing structure says it all.

[@seekeroftruthandmarmalade2234]

june bug is a blanket term, ill assume u dont mean the more common green june bug but some other member of the Phyllophaga genus

June bugs are green. These bugs are brown.

I heard of someone who had heard how many insects birds with fledglings consume and put up a circle of suitable homes /bird houses for small birds around their home and then enjoyed a mosquito free summer. Their home in the middle becomes the most hunted area. Small birds often lack a good home so if you build a dozen or two...

At least google what a horse fly looks like lol

[@hiko73]

I did & those are horseflies

[@WereAlreadyHere]

Im not understanding this.. That is exactly what horse flys look like, ive never seen a junebug but i googled it and they dont look anything like this..

[@srhatfield]

My mom came up with something very similar to this but for fleas. At night she would take a common desk lamp and hang it over the top of a bowl filled with soapy water. As the fleas would jump towards the light, they would land in the soapy water and they would not be able to get out. That's how we had a house without any fleas in it while also having several dogs. This is long before the invention of the anti flea medications for dogs that everybody uses today.

This is really sad. If it trapped horseflies it would be okay but I only see June Bugs. We used to play with June Bugs when I was a kid. They are also much needed food for lots of birds. What a waste.

Alright people, lets remember that insects have been on earth for far longer than humans and that we need to try to coexist with them. Insects are vital to many natural processes and a decrease in their population will often mean the death of species of rare birds or rare predator insects.

[@owlielder]

A perfect way to keep these awful flies away from my Highland fold and my goats! Thank you!

[@shtprof2000]

I use to go up to the apostle islands a lot and man I hated horse flies. I'd dive underwater for a couple minutes and think it would be safe. But only to return up to a pesky, pesky bite!

[@ryanwakebradtelle8682]

I like the basic mosquito larvae trap, you put food waste in water and let mosquitoes lay eggs. Then collect the eggs feed them and give them to your fish, it removes mosquitoes from the environment as well as gives your fish a very nutritious snack. Plus you can feed the mosquito larvae specific foods for the fish, you can add extra calories if you want to make your fish fat and you cannot extra protein if you want your fish to grow Etc...

[@ryanwakebradtelle8682]

... is really a lie most people when they say Etc they are just out of ideas

[@ambroulard]

Ridiculous,, Those are NOT horseflies.

[@hiko73]

No, Junebugs are dark green &/or blackish with a green translucent body, those are def Horseflies...I looked it up

[@RatherBfishin]

Still annoying af if you like to spend time in your yard.

[@xkingdeus6019]

So...?

[@Mike-tg7dj]

It's like a giant pitcher plant. They function the same way the insect smells something to eat then flies into the tube once inside the insect is trapped. Once it is weakened it will slide down into the watery enzyme soup that breaks down the vital elements in the insects body. At the end of the season and first freeze the tubes die back leaving the exoskeletons of its prey in an entombment of dried leaves. All these insects add energy to the plants rhizome sleeping underground.

[@joed2392]

The KISS principle at work ! Awesome, and no pesticides too !!

[@spongebitchbobface]

My camp counselor used to dust our camp fires with a powdery substance that atracted horse flies. They'd fly to the fire, where their wings would burn off, leaving them stranded in the fire, which in turn would cause them to explode after some time. It sounded like popcorn popping.

[@RubberChickenFilms]

Why is the music so creepy on this? Feels like a documentary on some kind of horse fly serial killer. "No one had seen Harry the horsefly since 1978. That is, until he showed up in this man's back yard..."

[@dreamdiction]

It makes no difference which party wins elections or who is President. For over a century American voters have elected Dems and Reps an equal number of times but voting has never stopped America's relentless slide into Collectivism - which is Global Feudalism - which is Communism. Democracy is a trick to make people think they control their own country. Video Title: "G. Edward Griffin - The Collectivist Conspiracy" Uploader: "whahappa" /watch?v=jAdu0N1-tvU

[@dennisrardin6602]

That's great Dan. Now can you create something for me to get rid of my neighbors?

[@TisICaptainVegetable]

The narrator’s explanation that flies want to bite plastic seems unlikely. Horseflies normally fly towards water then change directions to fly parallel to the surface. Since the trap has them seeing a 90-degree reflection then their maneuver either sends them directly into the water or directly into the plexiglass, which then causes them to drop.

If you put car windshield wipers and spray nozzles on the glass, and put an automatic refill and drainage system into the base and modify the base so that it reuses the same watertight container, it should automate the cleaning process.
