Bug Ball Biting Fly and Insect Trap Starter Kit — Pack of 3 Inflatable PVC Balls with Catch EM coating

Bug Ball Starter Complete Kit is a three-pack of inflatable PVC ball traps that, when coated with the included Catch EM' sticky formula and hung outdoors, capture biting flies and other flying pests without pesticides or electricity.

Designed for yards, patios, stables, orchards and other outdoor spaces, this Starter Complete Kit from Bug Ball combines weather-resistant inflatable traps, a rope hanging kit and an odorless brush-on sticky coating to reduce populations of black flies, greenhead flies, yellow flies and similar pests. The kit aims to be simple to set up, low-maintenance, and safe to use around people and pets compared with chemical sprays or powered devices.

How does the Bug Ball trap work and what’s included?

The trap uses a smooth, inflatable PVC sphere that attracts flying insects; once coated with the Catch EM' sticky formula the ball captures insects on contact. The kit bundles three traps, three rope hangers, and one brush-on bottle of sticky coating so you can get started right away.

• Three heavy-duty, weather-resistant PVC Bug Balls (inflate before use)
• Three rope kits with molded hanging loop for easy suspension
• One bottle of Catch EM' brush-on sticky coating (odorless, non-electrical)
• Instructions: inflate, apply coating, hang 4–5 feet off the ground near sun/adjacent shade

How many traps do I need and where should they go?

Coverage depends on insect pressure, but generally two to three Bug Balls cover one acre effectively for biting flies. Place traps where insects travel between sunny and shady spots and near known activity centers like animal pens, pool areas, or vegetable gardens.

• Recommended spacing: 2–3 traps per acre for typical infestations
• Best placement: 4–5 feet high near sun and adjacent shade
• Effective locations: backyards, greenhouses, barns, orchards, stables
• Each ball includes a molded loop for hanging from trees, poles, or beams

Is the Catch EM' coating safe and how often should I reapply it?

Catch EM' is an odorless, non-electrical sticky coating meant to immobilize insects on contact; it contains no pesticides and is framed for use around children and pets when applied as directed. For continued performance, reapply the coating every two to three weeks or sooner in heavy rain or high insect activity.

• Odorless, non-pesticide sticky formulation included in the kit
• Reapplication interval: every 2–3 weeks, or after heavy rain
• Brush-on application ensures even coverage over the ball’s surface
• Follow label directions for safe use around family and livestock

How durable is the Bug Ball and how easy is setup and maintenance?

Constructed from heavy-duty PVC, each Bug Ball is built to resist weather exposure but remains lightweight and portable for seasonal use. Setup is straightforward—inflate, brush on Catch EM', and hang—while ongoing care involves periodic re-coating and replacing balls if they develop punctures.

• Material: weather-resistant PVC for outdoor durability
• Setup: inflate with standard pump, apply coating, hang using included rope
• Maintenance: wipe, re-coat every 2–3 weeks, patch or replace if damaged
• Portable: easy to move and reposition as needed throughout the season

Who this is for: The Bug Ball Starter Complete Kit is intended for homeowners, gardeners, small-farm operators and anyone who needs a low-maintenance, non-chemical method to reduce biting flies and flying pests in outdoor spaces. It’s suitable for yards, poolsides, stables, orchards and similar settings where people, pets or livestock spend time and where pesticide-free control is preferred.
