Description
xBug Ball Deer Fly Ball Replacement Kit supplies two inflatable, weather-resistant traps that attract and capture deer flies, horse flies, stable flies and other biting insects when coated with Catch EM' sticky formula.
This two-pack of replacement Deer Fly Balls from Bug Ball gives you an easy, low-maintenance option to reduce flying, biting insects across outdoor spaces. Each ball is made from heavy-duty PVC and includes an inflation needle so you can set it up and get back to your day. The traps rely on visually attracting insects to a sun-exposed shiny surface, where an applied sticky coating holds the pests—no electricity or pesticides required when you use Catch EM' (sold separately).
How do these Deer Fly Balls work to reduce biting insects?
The balls draw insects visually—flies are attracted to bright, moving round objects placed near contrasting shade areas. Once a thin layer of Catch EM' sticky coating is applied, flies land and get trapped on the surface instead of biting people or animals nearby.
- Attracts deer flies, horse flies and stable flies with reflective, round shape
- Requires Catch EM' sticky coating (odorless, no pesticides)
- Passive control—no electricity or chemicals sprayed into the environment
What’s included and how do I set up each replacement ball?
Each kit contains two inflatable Deer Fly Balls and two inflation needles—everything needed to inflate and hang the traps. Inflate to firm shape, brush on the sticky coating, and suspend the ball in a sunny spot next to shade for best visibility to flies.
- Kit includes: 2 Deer Fly Balls and 2 inflation needles
- Hang about 4–5 feet off the ground in sun near shade
- Reapply sticky coating approximately every 2–3 weeks for consistent control
How many balls do I need and where should I use them?
Coverage depends on the infestation level, but plan on 2–3 balls per acre for general outdoor areas to noticeably reduce fly activity. These traps are versatile for residences, farms, and recreational spaces where flies bother people or animals.
- Estimate 2–3 balls per acre for typical coverage
- Suitable for yards, patios, orchards, barns, stables, greenhouses and pool areas
- Durable PVC material withstands weather for season-long use
Who is this for? The Bug Ball Deer Fly Ball Replacement Kit is aimed at homeowners, farmers, equestrians and outdoor venue managers who want an easy, low-impact way to reduce biting flies. It’s especially useful where chemical sprays or electrical devices aren’t suitable—near children, pets, feed areas, or companion animals. Keep in mind the sticky coating (Catch EM') is sold separately; use it according to package directions and replace the coating regularly for best results.
FAQ
Q: Do these balls come pre-coated with Catch EM'?
A: No, the replacement balls are uncoated; Catch EM' sticky coating is sold separately and should be applied before hanging.
Q: How often should I reapply the sticky coating?
A: Reapply Catch EM' about every 2–3 weeks, or sooner if rain or heavy debris reduces adhesion.
