how a buffalo fly trap works
The trap is a short tunnel through which cattle have to pass regularly. This may be a controlled watering point or feed station for beef cattle, or perhaps a laneway or yards leading up to the milking shed for dairy cattle. The flies leave the cattle in response to the change in light intensity at the tunnel entrance, and are subsequently caught in cages attached to the sides of the tunnel. The trap is simple to build and since there are no obstructions in the tunnel, training cattle to use it is relatively easy.
