If you want to reduce flying insects in an outside area, please make sure you use a device that is meant to be used outdoors. Flypaper is meant to be used indoors. If hung outdoors it may also catch small birds. That is what happened to the flycatcher below who has no tail feathers. It lost all its tail feathers when they came in contact with flypaper that had been hung outside. It cannot fly properly without tail feathers. We will need to keep the little bird until it regrows the tail feathers which will take 2 or 3 weeks.
