 Works as advertised but the price is unreasonable. August 27, 2010
Gregg A Hoover
For catching flies, I would rate this product five stars.
For price, I would rate this product zero stars.
For smell, I would rate this product negative twenty stars.
I don't know why some of the other reviewers had issues catching flies unless it was just the area where they lived (I'm in Colorado) or they didn't follow directions. One thing I did that the directions didn't mention was to stir the bait in the trap once or twice a day for the first couple of days. I did this by squeezing the bag until the bait was well mixed into the water. Perhaps this helped it to activate better.
It takes a few days to have a noticable effect but the longer the trap is there the better it works. This is probably because the longer it sits the worse it reeks. The bait isn't so bad but add a few thousand flies and the smell is horrid! Morning breath and dead skunks have nothing on it. Keep it WELL AWAY from your house, not only because of the smell but because this is how fly traps work.
If you're expecting to put this trap somewhere and have the flies around your house sucked into it as if it were a black hole you're in for a disappointment. Fly traps don't work that way. They work by giving flies a more interesting place to be than your living space and generally ridding the neighborhood of flies. The first time I bought these traps was late August of 2008 and I accidently got two of them. That actually worked out fine since the first one was packed full of flies within two weeks of putting it up (I keep a journal so this is how I remember the details). By the end of September the second trap was full and I ordered a third. I didn't put up the third one since it was getting late in the year and the flies were not such a problem. I didn't put it up the following summer either because the flies were significantly reduced that year. This year the flies are back. I put up the new trap a couple of days ago and it aleady has a layer of flies floating around in it. I think from now on I'll put a fly trap in my yard every summer.
I need more traps but this year I'm going to try the Rescue brand disposable traps. They're getting great reviews and they're a third the cost.
 Perfect HUGE Size + LOTS of Fly Bait Food August 19, 2010
jackiekaulitz
The size of the trap is PERFECT!!! The first night I put it up, I didn't see any flies, so I was worried it didn't work. But the next day and for 2 weeks straight the thing is backed with flies and hornets/yellow jacket bees! Kills them all. I put it 15 feet from my front door and now flies stay near the trap and they no longer hover around my front door and almost no flies go into the house anymore! Yay!!!! I put 1/10 of the bag of food in and so I have PLENTY left over for additional refills. This is the best trap. I would buy this again and again. I bought another trap and it worked but it was smaller and had much less fly bait food. So I would recommend this one above others. I will buy one for my dad too.
Catches most types of flies August 18, 2010
Rene Garcia (Southern California)
It's been about three weeks since I set this fly trap up. At first it seemed that it really wasn't working as good as I was hoping it would. But after about a week, and some warm sun, it starting attracting a bunch of those buggers. It was great on what seems to be most variety of flies and it seems to be catching those biting variety as well. I do still have a problem with the kind of flies that like to hover in the air in one spot of the patio and other shady areas. I'm hoping these will get to join the " pool party " already in the bag. Overall, it does what it claims to do which is to capture a bunch of flies. Just be sure to put in a warm part of the yard, and definitely away from where you might be able to smell it. It really stinks! I guess that's why the flies love it to death.
Disgustingly Effective August 15, 2010
Mike
I never review anything, but this thing works so well I had to comment. I'm on my 5th or 6th one, and I'd say each has filled to capacity (20,000 flies according to the product) in a matter of weeks. Highly recommended if you have any kind of fly problem. Beware though, this thing is incredibly disgusting. 20,000 flies rotting in the hot sun smells about as you'd expect, so don't hang it near anywhere you spend any amount of time. A particularly vile indication of this thing's effectiveness is that maggots actually appear in bag amongst the thousands of dead flies after a few weeks. Yum. That's usually when I spring for a new one. Disposing of a used trap containing 20,000 dead flies floating in a maggot-infested soupy mess truly is an experience - you almost need a HAZMAT suit when you get within 10 feet of it. But if you have a fly problem, this is your answer. Accept no substitutes.
Did The Job - Cleanup Was A Little Work August 7, 2010
Max Errol (OBX North Carolina)
Very easy to set up the trap. No mess. Just follow the easy instructions. Bought it mainly for biting flies -- particularly deer flies which are in abundance in our area this year. After hanging up it took 4-5 days before starting to see flies inside the trap. This correlates with the literature that comes with the device. The number of flies trapped by the device peaked after about another 2 weeks or so, then began to fall off. After about 4 weeks total, no more live flies were being trapped by the device, and as an estimate I would say there were dozens that were caught by the trap -- but definitely not hundreds. They were a mixture of biting and non-biting flies. The smell of the liquid inside the trap as expected and as noted by many other reviewers is absolutely atrocious (putting it mildly), but is to be expected under these circumstances where you have decomposing flies of all types.
This device is definitely worth having if you want to reduce the number of flies you have in your area. As for disposal, rather than to place the whole setup inside a trash bag, I opted instead to dig a hole in the ground, empty the residual liquid into the hole, and cover it up. I would definitely not want to risk the trash pickup people getting the liquid on their hands.
