Bug Ball Deer Fly Ball Replacement Kit — Pack of 3 Inflatable PVC Traps, Weatherproof Sticky Fly Catchers

Bug Ball Deer Fly Ball Replacement Kit delivers three weatherproof inflatable traps you coat with a sticky attractant to capture deer flies, horse flies, stable flies and other biting insects outdoors.

Keep outdoor spaces more comfortable without sprays, electricity, or complicated installation. Each kit includes three durable PVC inflatable balls plus inflation needles; they’re designed to be hung where biting flies congregate, coated with a non-toxic sticky formula (Catch EM’ sold separately). Lightweight and portable, these traps are suited to yards, barns, stables, orchards and recreational areas where flying pests are a nuisance.

How do these deer fly balls actually trap insects?

The balls act as visual attractors: flies are drawn to the round, contrasting surface and land on the coated sticky layer where they become immobilized. The system relies on placement and fresh coating of the adhesive to remain effective over time.

• Attracts flies visually; no chemical fumigation required
• Works with Catch EM’ sticky coating (sold separately) for odorless capture
• Replace or reapply coating every 2–3 weeks for best results
• Most catches occur when balls are hung near sun-to-shade edges

Where should I hang the fly balls for best performance?

Positioning is key: hang each inflated ball roughly 4–5 feet off the ground at the sun/shade transition, close to areas where animals or people spend time. The molded loop on top makes mounting quick on a branch, post, or pole.

• Hang 4–5 feet high near tree line, stable entrance, or patio edge
• Place balls at sun-adjacent shade for maximum visibility to flies
• Use two to three balls per acre for wide outdoor coverage
• Space traps across problem zones (barn corners, poolside, orchard rows)

How many balls do I need and how long do they last?

This three-ball pack covers small properties or targeted problem spots; 2–3 balls are typically sufficient for one acre depending on landscape and fly pressure. The inflatable PVC construction tolerates weather, but the sticky coating determines operational duration and requires periodic reapplication.

• Plan on 2–3 balls per acre for general control
• Reapply sticky coating every 2–3 weeks or after heavy rains
• Replace balls if PVC becomes punctured or loop is damaged
• Includes inflation needles so you can ready new traps immediately

Is this safe to use around children, pets, and livestock?

The trap itself is a passive device; the adhesive used with it (Catch EM’) is an odorless, non-pesticide sticky coating intended to immobilize flies rather than poison them. Use common-sense placement out of reach of curious hands and paws to avoid accidental contact with the adhesive.

• Trap mechanism contains no poisons or electricity
• Keep traps out of reach of children and active pets
• Ideal for barns and stables when hung away from animal rubbing areas
• Follow adhesive maker’s directions for safe application

Who is this replacement kit for? This Bug Ball kit fits homeowners, ranchers, and outdoor caretakers who prefer a low-maintenance, chemical-free way to reduce biting fly populations around living spaces, animal areas, and recreational sites. It’s practical for gardeners, pool owners, orchard managers and barn operators who want portable, durable traps that are simple to set up and refresh seasonally. If you already use Catch EM’ or want a visual, non-electrical trapping solution, this three-pack serves as replacements or additional coverage for existing setups.
