RESCUE!Outdoor Disposable Hanging Fly Trap - 12 Traps

This works well. Easy to hang, attracts flys with a very unpleasant smell.

I don't typically leave reviews, but these fly traps work great! I was hesitant after reading through some of the lower star ratings, but decided to give it a try because we need some relief from these stupid flies and I had to start somewhere.They were easy to "assemble" and I used baler twine to tie them to trees on the outskirts of the 2 acres that we mow. I initially only put up 3 because I didn't want to waste my time if they weren't going to work. The picture shows what we got after only 1 week!!! So more went up! I'm saving the other half of the 12 pack I bought for in a couple weeks when I have to change these ones out.The smell is not great and not horrible. Obviously it stinks. But it's only faintly noticable if the wind blows just right. Honestly, if you used them in a farm setting I'm not sure you'd even notice the smell.The only downside that I have found to this point is that they need to be hung in an area with cover. I initially hung one in a half dead pine tree. We had a lot of rain one night and it filled the bag with water and it was too heavy for the twine. Thankfully it seems most of the bugs were already dead when it fell down and spilled out. The rest of the traps I've hung in areas with more leaves/cover and that hasn't been a problem since.Overall, I would highly recommend these traps if you have a fly problem!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I Love this product. It seems that it is the only product that actually attracts flies. It does have a pungent odor so an enclosed area may create a issue inside. Only issue is when you remove it to throw it away the live flys escape so i duct tape the top closed.

These fly traps work like a charm. Flies are drawn to it, so they cluster around the trap and not around whatever you may be trying to eat outside. Yes, you'll get buzzed once in a while, but not like without the trap. Be sure to follow the instructions to set it up. The first one, my mom just sliced open, so it was useless. When it's set up according to the instructions, it works great.Cleanup is easy; just take it down and throw it into the trash. Only downside is, if you leave it up for a few days, especially in hot summer, it will start to stink. The flies are dying, and while they're in the trap, before they die, they will lay eggs, so it'll get maggots all over, too. But, you don't have to touch any of that when you're ready to get rid of the trap. Buying in bulk makes it an even better deal.

I can't believe this doesn't have a 5. 0 rating. It is easy to assemble and keeps our porch fly free. We cut the little circle out, pull out the hangar, hang it on an S hook, then add the water. In a few minutes the flies are headed right to it. If you follow the instructions, there should be no problems.

They work great but they smell so bad

We have a small hobby farm - 4 pigs, 6 mini cattle, 3 sheep, 4 goats, and chickens. I have tried fly sprays and fly predators without seeing a difference. Last night after chores I put a few of these out for a test run. By morning this is how the trap looked. I went out and hung the rest and by the time I did chores tonight they are all filling up! Works incredibly well! I am optimistic that these will drastically cut down on flies and make my animals lives better.

They work fantastic. They fill up in no time.
