Outside The Goat House
I’m a member of several goat-related Facebook groups, and I often see questions about how to get rid of flies in goat houses. I wanted to share what has worked best for me, in hopes it helps others dealing with the same issue.
After trying several cheaper fly traps, nothing has worked as well as the RESCUE Big Bag Fly Trap. I highly recommend using two traps—place one to the left and one to the right of the goat house.
🔹 Important: These traps are for outdoor use only. Once activated, they have a strong odor, so place them at least 20 feet away from living areas (like goat houses or horse stalls).
🔹 Each trap lasts around 30 days, then just replace it with a new one.

Inside The Goat House
For inside the goat house, I use the Coburn Sticky Roll Fly Tape Kit. It comes with a 1,000-foot roll and all the mounting hardware you’ll need. If you check out my photos, you’ll see how I’ve installed it. One roll has lasted us two years. When you compare it to other sticky fly tape systems, this one is well worth the cost.
Once it’s up, it works fast. Within an hour, we started catching flies that made it to the inside of their house!
🛠️ Just be sure to hang it high enough that your animals can’t reach it.
♻️ When the tape fills up (usually in 1–3 days, depending on fly activity), simply turn the crank to roll up the used section and expose fresh tape. It’s super easy and definitely worth the investment.
I help out as much as I can making sure area goats are taken care of. I donate these fly traps to local rescues that need them for their goats and horses, and they’ve been a lifesaver. These are the best ones I’ve found, and they make a huge difference for the animals’ comfort. 🐾🐐🐎
If you’re struggling with flies, I highly recommend this sticky roll fly tape!

About Me
My passion is helping goats and rescue animals.
Through my business I was introduced to a home builder by the name of Jerry Pounds. He owns and operates an animal rescue in Benson NC called “Old Cowboy Animal Rescue”. July 2020 I decided to visit the animal rescue and donate some of my time. When I got there, I fell in love with the goats and donkeys.
From that day forward through volunteering, awareness, donations and marketing it has been my top priority to help goats and donkeys in any way I can.

Whether it’s helping put up fencing, building a shelter, or providing hay, straw, or feed to animals, it gives me joy and a sense of purpose to be able to help.
