Thanks Dennis, for this tidbit and the history. We'll keep an eye peeled for them.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15038109966699072504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432310.post-34385883803532458662015-06-09T11:12:33.284-06:002015-06-09T11:12:33.284-06:00Good to see that the Northern Belize Dr. Flies are...Good to see that the Northern Belize Dr. Flies are also attracted to the glue balls. We actually use a mix of black and blue balls, hard to say which color is more effective.<br /><br />The history behind the balls use in Monkey River is a little bit different. Chris Harris (Steppingstones Retreat) first told me about these horrible flies. I found information about them on the internet and learned about the balls, and promptly forgot. Phil Jones, who was house sitting for Chris during a particularly bad Dr. Fly season, independently found the glue ball information online and told me about them. So credit to Phil for overcoming the inertia and getting the project started in the summer of 2013.<br /><br />The balls also capture other insect pests we found, most notably Flood Flies after the first major rainfall. They covered the balls and I now have to re-coat the balls since there is no available space for more Dr. Flies.<br /><br />Best wishes, hope you catch many more!<br /><br />DennisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
