Product Description
Capture flies effectively with Mr. Sticky Roll Fly Tape Refill. This 1000-foot roll of 1/4" white sticky tape provides continuous fly control for barns, stables, and animal facilities. The reel-to-reel system catches flies overhead where they naturally congregate, with USDA testing showing 92% capture rate. Non-toxic and non-polluting, this refill works with the Mr. Sticky Deluxe Kit hardware to deliver safe, effective fly control that turns completely black with trapped flies.

- Active Ingredients: None - mechanical trapping only
How It Works: The Mr. Sticky Roll system uses fly behavior to its advantage. Flies naturally congregate overhead, especially when they first hatch, after feeding, or when weather cools. The white sticky tape is mounted overhead in a reel-to-reel system, catching flies as they land. Once trapped, flies produce stress pheromones that act as powerful attractants to other flies, creating a compounding effect. Over time, the tape becomes completely black with trapped flies. Simply wind up the used tape and dispense fresh tape from the 1000-foot roll—it's continuous fly control without chemicals.
Target Pests:
- House flies
- Stable flies
- Horse flies
- Blow flies
- Fruit flies
- Gnats
- Other flying insects
For Use In:
- Dairy barns and milking parlors
- Horse stables and riding facilities
- Livestock barns (cattle, swine, poultry)
- Veterinary clinics and animal hospitals
- Kennels and pet boarding facilities
- Zoos and animal exhibits
- Food processing facilities
- Commercial kitchens and restaurants
- Warehouses and storage facilities
- Any indoor area with fly problems
Installation Requirements: This refill tape requires the Mr. Sticky Deluxe Kit hardware (sold separately), which includes:
- Mounting brackets
- Reel mechanism for dispensing and winding tape
- Hardware for overhead installation
How to Use:
Initial Setup (with Deluxe Kit hardware):
- Install Mr. Sticky hardware system overhead where flies congregate
- Thread tape through the reel-to-reel mechanism
- Pull tape taut across the area to be protected
- Expose adhesive side facing downward
Maintenance:
- Monitor daily - Check tape for fly accumulation
- Wind up used tape - When tape becomes heavily covered with flies (typically weekly)
- Dispense fresh tape - Pull out clean tape from the 1000 ft roll
- Continue process - Repeat as needed throughout fly season
- Replace roll - When 1000 ft is depleted, install new refill roll
Coverage:
- 1000 feet provides extended coverage for one season or longer depending on fly pressure
- One roll can last an entire fly season in moderate conditions
- Heavy fly pressure may require more frequent tape advancement
Why Flies Love White Tape: Extensive testing has shown that flies are naturally attracted to white surfaces and prefer to land on 1/4" wide tape over other widths. Mr. Sticky uses this research to maximize catch rates.
The Stress Chemical Effect: One of the most powerful features of this system is biological. When flies become trapped, they release stress pheromones (alarm chemicals) that actually attract other flies to investigate. This creates a positive feedback loop where the tape becomes increasingly effective as more flies are caught.
Performance Data:
- USDA Testing: 92% fly capture rate
- Real-world results: Customers report tape turning completely black with flies
- Farm testing: Users report 85%+ reduction in fly populations when combined with other management practices
Advantages Over Other Fly Control Methods:
- No chemicals - Safe for organic operations and sensitive environments
- No electricity - Unlike zappers or fans, requires no power
- No bait - Unlike traps, requires no attractant replacement
- Continuous operation - Works 24/7 without intervention
- Visual monitoring - Easy to see when tape needs advancing
- Cost-effective - Much cheaper per fly than sprays or baits
- No resistance - Flies cannot develop resistance to sticky traps
Safety Information:
- Non-toxic - Contains no pesticides, chemicals, or poisons
- Non-polluting - Environmentally safe disposal
- Safe around animals - Use in dairy barns, stables, kennels without concern
- Safe around food - Approved for use in food processing areas
