When flies land on them, they become stuck and cannot fly away. Odor traps should not be placed in your barn or near your back door. They will draw all the neighbors’ files to the exact place you don’t want. If you are surrounded by a lot of flies and you feel overwhelmed, you can put Odor Traps there to reduce the number. Move the trap from the barn and draw the flies to other areas. Contrary to what you might have heard, these will never be placed on or near your picnic table. Odor traps are like inviting the neighbors flies to your party.

I’m Allison, born and raised in San Diego California, the earliest memory I have with horses was at my grandfather’s farm. I used to sit at the stable as a kid and hang out with my Papa while he was training the horses. When I was invited to watch a horse riding competition, I got so fascinated with riding!
