Need information how with simple technology make sticky fly paper

Maybe little-bit strange and too specific post.

I want to start small manufacturing business. I want to produce sticky fly paper (in roll, not just board).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_paper

Fly paper seems to be comparably simple production. As my budget do not allow for now to import expensive automatic machines, I want just self-employment with simple mechanic tools and semi-automatic machines. I can neither afford, neither need those machines which produce 6000 pieces at hour. It will be good to produce 1000-2000 per day in beginning.

Just simple mechanic tools (half mechanic machines) for cutting, adding glue, how to get it rolled and in package. (Please - no jokes about scissors, brush etc)
Basically - fly paper is invented 160 years ago. How to make it with simple and cheap semi-machines as it was made 60 years ago.

From what kind components to make sticky glue that it does not become dry?

I searched in internet for information but was not successful. I found many places with advices how to make home-made fly paper, but this home-made is of course not packed in roll - just a sticky paper. Also for "glue" they advice to use (for melting with sugar) "Golden syrup" or "Maple syrup" or even honey. These of course is not solutions for commercial production.
I know that for glue often is used raisins, but surely for beginning I need to use local materials. Raisins is not produced here and because of custom taxes and transportation costs all imports is expensive here. And I can not import one 20ft container of raisins... ๐Ÿ™‚
But this is sugar producing country so the question is how to make sugar syrup that does not become dry.
Also I find in internet industry machines but that is not for me at least in start.

So maybe if somebody know where I can look for need information...

Hmm...

Well, I do not need to invent anything, already 160 years flypaper is produced. I just will try to find some engineer forums where they can guide to right information.

there is a fluid that you can actually buy from the net that when you put some of it on a paper or something else it would become sticky.... you can the stuff in it so you could start revising some of it's stuff and making your own flypaper ๐Ÿ™‚

The adhesive they use in fly paper are different than those of rugby and products like mighty bond as even when you expose them out of their container, they don't get dry. they are not as sticky as rugby mighty bond but they are sticky enough to trap those flies. In my location, I don't really see a lot of people using them anymore. so you might want to do a feasibility study first before going to that business.

In the consultation document, the Home Office said it was working with the Ministry of Justice on proposals "to increase the use of asset seizure as a sanction for criminal offences. For example, to explore whether there are particular types of offender for whom seizing assets might be effective and proportionate."
