- Since I was not positive the family of flies that are in my yard, I did not want to take a chance and spend close to five hundred dollars on a real horsefly trap, so I made my own. So far, so good.

Someone asked where I got the buoy and I think they deleted the comment but its worth saying it's a polyform buoy. They come in different sizes (and colors) but here's what it is Polyform A Series Buoy a.co/d/cBZijT6
The thing catches tons of insects. Has really helped. I buy a new plastic top for about $10 each spring.
What dimensions did you use?
I can measure it tomorrow if you're interested but I eyeballed it. Maybe 36" square for the frame. And the base is around 48" high. With another 18" rise for the top part
@@Samlol23_drrich thank you
@@zanfasoabi7628 you’re welcome. It just needs to be large and sturdy enough to hold that black buoy. Even filled with air it’s a few pounds.. even though they come in multiple s is es, the bigger it is, the more insects it will attract. Thanks again for commenting.
any updates?
Yeah. It’s winter and all
the flies are dead. But it totally works. Brought it inside for the winter and I’ll put it back out in the spring. Thanks for commenting
