Homeowner Forum / Cleaning / August 2005fly trap glue removal
You know those fly traps with a coil of sticky stuff that unrolls and hangs to catch flies? One of my pets tangled with one, and I need to remove the goooey stuff somehow? What is the right solvent to use? Water and isopropyl don't work. TIA >You know those fly traps with a coil of sticky stuff that unrolls and >hangs to catch flies?

You'd need to give your pet a bath to get the oil residue out. Nan > You know those fly traps with a coil of sticky stuff that unrolls and > hangs to catch flies?

They'll look funny for a bit but hair grows back. > You know those fly traps with a coil of sticky stuff that unrolls and > hangs to catch flies?

A bath may suit some pets using washing up liquid on the sticky bits. I do believe it is used to free sea birds of oil so I'm sure it would be safe on a dog, well rinsed afterwards. If it's a hamster then of course a bath is out of the question, if that IS the case it would be better to shave off any sticky bits imo. Hamsters do not like the cold and may hibernate. might I suggest a small woolly coat until the hair regrows?

Birds and reptiles are very sensitive to chemicals. Probably best to see a vet. >>You know those fly traps with a coil of sticky stuff that unrolls and >>hangs to catch flies?

I was able to trim the worst of the mess away. but there are a few areas that could us some more work. Window cleaner with ammonia seemed to work, at least on my hands. |
