Flytrap versus Fly Spray
Getting rid of unwanted pests can be tricky if you don’t want hazardous chemicals or are eager to find an environmentally friendly solution. So what are the pros and cons of using a flytrap over fly spray?
Flytrap: The pros
Flytrap experts know that flies attract more flies – a good flytrap will trap the flies alive so that their buzzing activity will attract others. A well-designed flytrap will eradicate and prevent future fly infestations by disrupting the life cycle of the fly by trapping the adult breeding population.
Unlike fly spray, a flytrap is continually effective as it taps into the basic behaviour of the flies using a protein attractant. Fly populations have begun to develop a resistance to chemicals that once killed them, so sprays may not be as reliable as they once were.
Unlike fly sprays it’s possible to buy a non-chemical flytrap that is effective and environmentally safe.
Fly sprays versus Flytraps: The cons
Using fly sprays instead of a flytrap can also have serious consequences. Chemical insecticides can be harmful not just to the environment but to adults and children. One BBC story reported on the withdrawal of 50 brands of insect killer amid fears they caused cancer. Scientists advised the government that top selling insecticides sold in high street stores could be a danger to health – including fly killers as well as moth, wasp and cockroach killers. A flytrap means you can avoid chemical risks entirely. The chemical in question is dichlorvos, which has mutagenic and carcinogenic potential. Of course, it makes sense that a chemical that kills insects could be harmful to all living creatures; investing in a chemical-free fly trap is the safe way to handle an infestation.
