Re: [AlpacaTalk] Flies making me nuts.....

 

Thanks, Laura.  I didn't see that you had already answered my question about those with experience with Mr. Sticky.

We have used Mr Sticky and other fly rolls and never had any issues with the barn swallows. For the price, its a good deal IMO.
Fly Predators are great IF you don't have poultry catching every flying insect they see. I have Guineas, chickens and turkeys and they are my feathered "Bug Zappers".

Jan,


My issue with the sticky tape is that barn swallows get stuck on it and cannot extricate themselves.

Help, in my barnyard the animals do fine. (goats,sheep and chickens)but there are flies all over my alpacas. I hate it! Why is it that they are on them and how do I get rid of them?

I wonder if any others on this site have experience with this product.   We love our barn swallows!

Hi, Dave -
The sticky tape about which I'm talking is a narrow twine-size tape - so narrow there's almost no room for flies. We are not privileged to have barn swallows - we have LOTS of sparrows and finches - and we've NEVER had a bird stuck on this tape.

I really do highly recommend it.
