Fly saucers

My daughter-in-law bought some Tanglefoot sticky stuff, planning to coat her hummingbird feeders in an effort to keep bees off the feeders. She lives in Alpine and we don't have those nasty black flies there.


























But she couldn't clean it off the feeders afterwards, so decided not to use it anymore, and offered it to me. I brought it to the oasis and coated some small paper plates with it, thend hung them by my feeders, hoping to absorb some of the flies. Here's a fresh one...


























And here's one I discarded after a couple of days. I don't really notice less flies, but any reduction is better than none.
