[Arid_gardener] Re: Fly Trap

[Olin Miller]

Bach when we had a horse we used a product called Trap'N Toss Fly trap. 
Quite effective. We placed one in the stable and another out on the corral 
fence.  Available locally in tack stores but a bit expensive for just one. 
About $5 each if you buy a case of a dozen but you might do better if you 
research it.
