Milk Jugg Trap®
$9.69 for two trap heads and two attractants. Re-useable
The Milk Jugg Trap has the lowest cost and is
the most ecological because you’re using something you’d be throwing away otherwise – your empty quart or gallon plastic milk jug. You can reuse
the trap heads for many years and a new load of attractant is only $2.35.
Keep the milk jug top and when this trap is full, cap it off and put it in the trash and it won't spill. (If you want to be super duper
ecological, dump the flies on the soil – they make great fertilizer.) If it starts to dry out before it’s full of flies, it's easy to add more water.
Also at the end of the season you are only storing the trap head which fits in a zip lock bag. This way you’re not storing a whole smelly trap in your
barn or garage over the winter.
The cons are simply it's not quite as effective per trap as the Terminator Pro because the top is not as baffled as well as the Terminator Pro
or Giant Fly Relief Bag (so some flies will figure it out and escape) and the walls of milk jugs are not completely clear. However it is still
more than twice as effective as the Rescue® brand bag traps. You can improve its performance by painting the top of the milk jug black, which
the USDA study showed made a big difference.
Keep in mind the cost of 4 Milk Juggs is the same as 1 Terminator Pro. With 4 Milk Juggs you'll have slightly more total trapping power and you
can put them in three different places. Considering everything, we think most customers with only low to moderate fly pressure are better off having
more traps in different locations, so we'd choose the Milk Jugg trap. It's also much less messy to dump and reload. However if you have heavy fly
pressure or you don't want any flies escaping, get multiples of the Terminator Pro.
Helpful Tip: Get several packs of replacement attractant so they’re always handy ($4.69 for two 15ml tubes). They will store for a minimum of two years.
These traps ship for no extra shipping charge if with a Fly Predator shipment. With all traps we include free disposable gloves with each order.
