Bug Ball Biting Fly & Insect Trap Starter Kit, Pack of 2 — Black Inflatable Sticky Traps, Weather-Resistant

The Bug Ball Starter Kit is a pair of weather-resistant inflatable sticky traps that capture biting flies and other nuisance insects using the included odorless Catch EM' coating.

Keep outdoor spaces more comfortable without pesticides or electricity. This kit contains two heavy-duty black PVC Bug Balls, an 8 oz brush-on can of Catch EM' sticky formula, and two inflation needles. Designed to hang 4–5 feet off the ground in sunny spots near shade, the Bug Ball targets horse flies, deer flies, yellow flies, greenheads and similar biting insects by luring and trapping them on a sticky, weatherproof surface.

How do I set up the Bug Ball Starter Kit quickly?

Setup is straightforward and ready in minutes using the parts included. Inflate each ball to about 18 inches, hang it in a sunny location 4–5 feet high, and apply the Catch EM' coating evenly across the surface.

• Step 1: Inflate with any hand or electric pump using the supplied inflation needles.
• Step 2: Hang by the molded top loop from a tree, pole, or shepherd’s hook.
• Step 3: Brush on Catch EM' completely; allow it to become tacky before exposure.

Where does the Bug Ball work best around my property?

Use the Bug Ball wherever biting flies congregate: near animal housing, water, or shaded vegetation. They perform well in yards, stables, orchards, greenhouses, pool areas and cabins when positioned in typical fly flight paths.

• Recommended coverage: 2–3 Bug Balls per acre for general protection.
• Place near shade edges or along fence lines where flies rest or travel.
• Ideal for outdoor living areas and animal shelters to reduce biting insect activity.

What makes Catch EM' safe and effective on the Bug Ball?

Catch EM' is an odorless, sticky coating formulated to trap insects without pesticides or electricity. Applied directly to the Bug Ball, it immobilizes flies on contact and is labeled safe for use around children and pets when used as directed.

• Brush-on 8 oz can included for even application across the ball surface.
• No chemical sprays, fumes, or powered devices required for operation.
• Weather-resistant PVC keeps the sticky surface exposed where flies land.

How durable and low-maintenance are these traps?

The balls are constructed from heavy-duty black PVC that withstands outdoor conditions and repeated use. Periodically reapply Catch EM' as the sticky coating collects insects or weathers, and inspect the inflation valve and hanging loop for secure placement.

• Reapply coating depending on exposure and insect load for consistent performance.
• Repair or replace if punctured; included inflation needles simplify maintenance.
• Store deflated in a dry place to extend material life when not in use.

Who is this for: The Bug Ball Starter Kit is suited to homeowners, ranchers, orchard managers, greenhouse operators, and anyone who needs an economical, low-tech way to reduce biting fly activity. It’s especially useful for people seeking a pesticide-free option to protect outdoor living areas, animal shelters, and work spaces where persistent biting insects are a problem.
