Disposable Fly Trap, Attracts All Major Fly Species | Attracts & Traps All Major Fly Species, Starts Working in Minutes, Includes Attractant, Leak Proof with Discreet Design

I got tired of having flies come into my house and garage when i open the door to come in. Also, I'm tired of seeing and having to wash the fly crap off of all of my siding, window frames and everything else these nasty pest land on and leave their droppings.I purchased a couple of these traps to see if they would work.The trap is easy to activate and install. Just unscrew the top plug...it doesn't come out so don't force it out. Add water and fill to the line on the side of the bag. Unwrap the white wire tie from the top cap and attach one end to the top cap and the other end to wherever you are going to hang it on.To draw flies away, I placed mine away from the house and garage but close enough to the entrance doors to be effective at drawing them away from the doors.The first day they were put out they didn't do to much and I couldn't smell anything at the time. The second day started attracting the flies and there was a slight smell by there was some wind. On the third day the trap had about an inch thick of flies in the trap and a little more of a smell but the wind was light. I think that some of the smell maybe the dead flies decomposing...again, maybe.By the fifth day there was more of a stench but the wind was calm and not blowing like the previous days. Also there were maggots in the bag.The wife says she can smell the traps and to her they stink, but they're not that bad to me.Of course, I did not put them inside any structures and only outside away from the house but close enough to attract the flies away from the entrance doors.I have noticed a definite reduction of flies near the house and none near the entrance doors but of course a lot of flies at the traps.Even though these do smell some in my opinion, but they work very well I will buy more and use them...but that's just me.

I purchased a similar product from a local department store and ordered these Black Flag fly traps from Amazon. I wanted to see which one would be the best one to keep these flies away from our house and stop them from hovering all around our chickens and ducks. We’ve had so much rain that we’ve been overrun with flies for the first time since we bought our little mini farm. Love the rain for the garden, don’t get me wrong. But the flies! Yuck!Both of the fly traps really work! The one from the store you have to cut the plastic in order to fill the product with water and mix in the powder that attracts the flies.This one, you don’t cut. You simply pull up and open the top enough to add the water and mix in the powder. Much better.The next big difference is in the odor. Because the other product must be cut in order to add the water and mix the powder, there is a definite area for odor to escape. I could smell that horrible distinctive odor from about 100 feet away. My husband kept thinking it was the new chickens that we added to the flock until I told him to go smell that bag hanging in the coop. I remember my dad hanging these bags when I was a little girl, and it is an odor that you just don’t forget.These Black Flag, on the other hand, do not smell offensive unless you put your nose up close and/or squeeze them to check and see how many flies are in the solution! So if you don’t want to smell it, above all, don’t squeeze the bag. In fact, just don’t touch it once it’s hung until you’re ready to dispose of it. lolThe last thing that is different than the one from the store (which was over $2 more per fly trap than these, by the way) is that the one from the store does not come with a tie to hang up the bag like these do. The only thing you need to start using this fly trap is the water!It’s been a wonderful, not having flies follow us into the house. It’s been amazing not having them all over the chicken coop. I would definitely recommend this product and have purchased more.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Flies are disgusting and annoying, but these fly bags keep them away from our outdoor activities and patio. I like the wood look so the bag blends into the tree where it’s tied. We put the bags up in early spring and replace when it gets full. I’ve noticed much fewer flies. The bag stinks (as it’s supposed to in order to attract flies), so just avoid hanging it too close to where people will be.

These work great! We hang them at our campground and any flies go right to them. They usually last most of the summer. They hang about 5ft from the patio of our camper, close enough to attract the flies but on really humid days, they can smell terrible. For the price and way it works, I will continue to buy these every summer.
