Fly Trap Medium – Outdoor Ecological Fly Attractant Trap | Lebanon

The Fly Trap Medium is an eco-friendly, non-chemical outdoor fly trap designed to reduce fly populations around patios, decks, gardens or small yards. According to the product page on NineGuard: it uses a specially formulated attractant (protein-containing flours and natural essences) and water to lure flies. Once set up, it can capture a significant number of flies (up to 20,000 flies in some statements) and stays active for about 60-90 days under recommended conditions. Because it contains no pesticides or chemical sprays, it offers a safer way to enjoy outdoor spaces with fewer flying nuisances.

For best performance, place the Fly Trap Medium:
• Outdoors, near fly-hatching or high-fly traffic areas (e.g., near compost, animal shelters, outdoor seating). The product page advises positioning it where “the greatest number of hours of sunshine is available” and in warmer periods a location with some shade is recommended (T > 32 °C).
• At an appropriate height and distance from human activity areas so that flies are drawn away from where you gather.
• Ensure the attractant bag is fully submerged when you add water, and allow 4-5 hours for the lure to activate and 3-4 days for maximum effectiveness.
Proper placement ensures the trap draws flies into the device instead of allowing them to gather near your living space.

Yes — the Fly Trap Medium is marketed as a safe option for homes, children and pets because:
• It contains no pesticides or chemical insecticides, relying on natural attractant and water.
• Its design is meant for outdoor placement away from direct human or pet traffic for optimal effectiveness and safety.
However, even with a safer design, it’s still best practice to place the trap out of reach of small children or curious pets, and keep it maintained so there’s no risk of spillage or unintended contact with trapped insects.

Key specifications and features include:
• It is described as “medium-sized” and intended for patios, decks or smaller yards rather than large commercial installations.
• The attractant bag becomes soluble once in contact with water; flies start being drawn in after about 4-5 hours and the trap reaches maximum efficiency after 3-4 days.
• Stated active period: approximately 60-90 days under normal outdoor conditions.
• It is made in Italy and emphasises eco-friendly construction.
These details help you understand how long one trap can last and whether the size/usage fits your outdoor space.

Maintenance and replacement guidelines for the Fly Trap Medium include:
• Inspect the trap periodically (e.g., weekly) to see how many flies have been captured, whether the trap is full or the attractant bag has dissolved.
• Replace the trap or reset it every 60-90 days or sooner if in heavy infestation conditions or exposed to harsh weather (sun, rain, wind) which may reduce life span.
• If the trap is placed in warmer conditions (above 32 °C), positioning it with some shade helps maintain longevity.
• When the trap is nearing the end of its effective period, or you see diminished fly capture, replace the unit to maintain outdoor fly control.
By following these steps, you’ll ensure your Fly Trap Medium remains an effective part of your outdoor pest control strategy.
