Good

These things are just amazing, they shocked me at just how many flies these catch in such a short time. I read one review that claimed that the whole jar filled up and quite frankly, I thought it was just not a real review. I was so shocked when I saw how many flues were trapped in mine and sure enough, it filled up in a few days. Keep the liquid topped up as I am in Florida and it does tend to evaporate, either that or the flies consume it....but quite honestly, I just cannot imagine anything doing a better job than these. I do think I attracted more flies than would have bothered my back area if left alone....but these things really enable you to win the war on flies, which we had in our back yard as it faces a canal that was very congested after a hurricane. I originally just threw the first one out because it was really disgusting and was literally full of flues and I could not face the cleanup, as the smell is pretty bad if you get close. I then found a way to put a 12 inch freezer bag over the top when I undo the top and keep the bag sliding over the top as I extract the white hood and the black top....then I invert and remove the jar as the whole gooey mess falls into the bag. I then double bagged again in grocery bags and threw in the garbage... I thought about spreading them over the lawn as the mixture is natural product, but to be honest I am pretty sure the dead flies would make it toxic or the very least a grass killer and a hazard to bunnies who roam my back frequently. All in all, an astonishingly good product that works like a charm! I only wish I could see the look on your face after you check the jar after a single day....it is shocking....

It is nice that they can be reused, but no way will I be doing anything except replacing them. The bait itself isn't necessarily a bad smell, but when you fill it with hundreds of poo eating rotting fly carcasses it smells horrid. The flies leave poo specks on the white top as well. Flies carry disease, as if eating poo isn't bad enough. I do not plan to expose myself to them by attempting to reuse these. Because of that I wish the size was bigger. Never planned on catching so many. I used my first two for 48 hours and wound up with more dead flies than liquid bait in the bottom of the jars. I bagged them and waited two days for any live ones to die. I dumped them into a ziploc container just to show my mother...eww. I use Terro for ants which is great. Curious if you could use a 1 gallon water jug to save some money. The flies get in and really can't get out so the container style definitely works. Just worried that if you give them too much extra room they might be able to get back out. The bait is only about an inch of the bottom of the container. The rest of the space I assume appears inviting giving them a slight sense of security. I might try to cut a hole in the bottom of one of these and place it over the neck of a 1 gallon water jug. I will try to use one packet of bait at first. Other than that, these traps are good quality and definitely worth the cost. One tiny drawback, the more you kill, it appears the more that show up to the party. I started with putting a trap where the problem was at my back door and then when I replaced it I moved it slightly farther away. I did read that if you kill one female you can effectively prevent 100-200 more from being born. Although many species, the ones I mainly see have an approx lifespan of 30 days. As long as none of those 30 days are spent flying around outside my back door or sneaking into my house I am absolutely thrilled with this product and tell everyone about it. I would give it 6 stars if I could!!!!

It is INSANE 🤯 how well these work. I bought them after noticing an increase in flies when my hydrangeas naturally started finishing their bloom cycle. ONE DAY with them made huge difference. I followed both setup instructions — one trap at ground level, one hanging — and both filled up completely in just a few days. I immediately ordered another pack to hang on a shepards hook in the back of my backyard. However - they are so effective that by the time my second two pack arrived, my original jars were already completely full. I will be ordering a third pack. The smell is noticeable, but only when you're nearby or there's a breeze — it doesn't make your whole yard stink. The surprise? MAGGOTS, They develop inside the jar from the trapped flies, and while the jar is designed to keep them in, some of the really tiny ones can crawl back out through the tapered entry holes if the trap is very full. It's not a dealbreaker, but definitely something to be aware of. The fact that they are breeding as they die is DISGUSTING lol. Disposal is not pleasant (not the jars fault) — mine were full way before trash day. I didn’t want them sitting in my can, so I used duct tape to seal the lid and the holes (photo included). I also considered placing the sealed jar in a box with a Taro Trash Can Insect Killer disk to help eliminate anything still moving — since those are effective on flies and maggots inside enclosed spaces. One small tip: the orange sticker peels off if you want the jar to look a little less gross while it’s hanging. I didn't learn that until my second set 🤷🏼‍♀️

I bought two of these Outdoor Fly Traps for my backyard, and they’ve been a game changer. Within just a few days, I noticed a huge difference, while the traps definitely attract a lot of flies, I’d estimate around 95% of them end up trapped inside. It’s oddly satisfying to see just how well they work! One thing to note: the bait has a strong fishy smell. It’s not pleasant up close, but it’s part of why these traps work so well. I recommend placing them a good distance from where you sit or eat outdoors. I hung one near our patio and another closer to the side yard, and they immediately started filling up. I’m planning to grab a third one to put by our trash cans to keep that area cleaner, too. If you spend time outside, especially in the summer, this is a must-have. It keeps the flies away from where we eat and relax, and I love that it’s a non-toxic solution that actually works. Highly recommend!
