Abstract
A fly trap includes a tubular body which is triangular in cross-section. One exterior face is coated with a sticky fly catching substance. A flap is secured to a peripheral edge of the sticky coated exterior face. In a stored position, the flap overlies the sticky coated exterior face. In a fly catching position, the flap is pivotally spaced from the sticky coated exterior face, thereby forming a "V" shaped trough. An interior surface of the flap is also coated with a sticky fly catching substance. An exterior surface of the flap has a sticky window adhesion strip.
