Hello all.
I'd like to make a horsefly trap with a black bucket covered in non-setting glue. YouTube has many examples and they seem to catch the things. Horsefly trap glue is available to buy, but not especially cheap. Price is one reason why I'd like to make my own, but general curiosity is the main reason.
Requirements:
-Non setting and adequate viscosity to stick bugs on contact
-Weatherproof (remains in situ and retains physical properties after exposure to showers
-not attractive to other insects by smell (I imagine that this rules out sweet/sugary solutions)
Suggestions welcome.
Thanks. Bill.
