Box traps have an open bottom mounted on four legs. The top of the box is covered with screening. Flies enter the underside of the box and are channeled upward by screens to the upper part of the box where they die. A commercial box trap the FlyCatchR is available. These traps are typically used for horse and deer fly capture in salt marsh areas.

The most important component of trapping horse and deer flies is trap placement. Horses and other animals should not be able to interfere with traps. However traps should be placed where flies are a problem. These traps are especially useful in areas where horses cannot escape bites such as in small pastures or near riding arenas. Traps should be in sunny areas where they can be seen from the woods or marshy areas and away from buildings or other obstructions that might interfere with fly vision. Sometimes effective placement requires a bit of trial and error. If traps are not successful initially moving them just a few yards can increase trap captures. It is estimated that a trap can cover about 2 acres if properly placed.

Fly Repellents
Fullbody application of repellent products with synthetic pyrethroids seems to

Better coverage can be achieved by applying repellent to a brush or microfiber mitt or similar and then applying to the horse Figure 6. While likely to be deterred from landing on a horse horse and deer flies may still repeatedly fly around a horse even after application and land on the legs or belly areas as the repellent loses effectiveness. Frequent reapplication is likely necessary at least daily or before riding in areas where horse and deer flies
are present.
