How It Works

The Science Behind RedTop’s Effectiveness

Flies are naturally drawn to decaying organic matter. RedTop uses a protein-based fermentation lure that replicates this scent in a controlled and intensified way.

1. Natural Fermentation Lure – The Attractant

Once water is added, the lure begins a biological fermentation process, releasing volatile compounds that attract flies from long distances.

• No toxic ingredients
• Targets female flies in particular
• Mimics natural fly-attraction behaviour
• Works in hot and humid conditions effectively

2. Funnel Entry System – The Trap

The RedTop design features a precision funnel system. Flies enter easily but cannot escape due to the downward angle and slippery interior surface.

This one-way entry mechanism ensures that once flies are attracted and enter the trap, they remain trapped permanently.

3. Solar-Boost Activation

Heat speeds up fermentation. This is why RedTop traps work best when placed in a sunny location.

The combination of sunlight and warmth accelerates the biological process, creating a stronger attractant that draws flies from greater distances.

4. High-Volume Reservoir

Once flies enter, they drown in the liquid inside the trap. The liquid continues to ferment, strengthening attraction over time.

This self-sustaining system means the trap becomes more effective as it fills, creating an even stronger attractant for remaining flies.

5. Population Suppression at the Biological Level

Since female flies are the primary visitors to protein scents, each trap removes large numbers of potential egg-layers. This results in exponential long-term reduction, not just short-term trapping.

By targeting the reproductive cycle at its source, RedTop provides sustainable fly control that reduces populations over time rather than just managing immediate numbers.
