The present invention discloses attractants and bait stations comprising date-derived syrup products for attracting biting flies and methods therein. The methods including the steps of: providing a bait station including: a date-derived syrup product for attracting at least one type of biting fly selected from the group consisting of: mosquitoes, sand flies, stable flies, biting midges, and stomoxys; and a substrate material for supporting the date-derived syrup product; and locating the bait station in a designated geographic area in order to attract said at least one type of biting fly. Preferably, the date-derived syrup product is derived from at least one date material selected from the group consisting of: dates, date paste, date syrup obtained from pressed dates, and commercially-available date syrup.

A fly catching animal mask device prevents flies and other insects from bothering an animal's eyes. The device includes a mask having at least one eye hole configured to fit on a head of an animal such that the eye hole is positioned around an eye of the animal. A strip of material is coupled to the mask. The strip of material has an exposed outer face extending around the eye hole. An adhesive is coupled to and extends over the exposed outer face of the strip of material wherein the outer face is configured for catching and holding flies contacting the adhesive.

An insect trap body, polygonal in cross-section, having a light source inside and a closed top with an attachment means for hanging. A translucent removable sticky surface surrounded by a structural support material having a tab forming a card, which card is capable of being inserted into channels on at least one side of the insect trap polygonal body. Insects adhere to the sticky surface of the card while being attracted by the light source. The translucent sticky membrane and support card can be removed from the insect trap body and replaced by a new one when necessary.
