A walk-through fly trap for cattle and similar livestock is provided with a steel tubular frame on which is provided a roof and sides of pressure treated lumber. The sides support panels bearing electric grates, which grates are accessible to flying insects on both the inside and outside of the trap. Insects are attracted to the grates by lights mounted proximal to the grates on the panel, the warmth associated therewith, and attractive colors of the panel. The grates may be electrified with sufficient voltage to explode flying insects on contact, so as to prevent accumulation of insects thereon.
