Their larvae hibernate in damp conditions around watercourses, lakes, ponds or marshy ground. The adults emerge from April onwards, presenting a constant problem to nearby horses, cattle and people.
The H-trap has been cleverly designed to take advantage of the horseflies natural behaviour, with independent tests showing a 90- 95% reduction in populations.
The H-trap consists of the following key features:
