 Best Flytrap, Hands Down August 19, 2007

I never dreamed that I would one day write a review of a fly trap, but this thing works so darn well that I thought I would be doing a disservice to others by keeping silent.
We live in a semi-rural area with a robust fly population, which proved to be a constant annoyance. It seemed that we couldn't open the windows or doors for even a short period without a squadron of flies invading our house. We tried a number of different fly traps (e.g., the sticky kinds) but to no avail. This is the first trap, however, that really works.
Within two weeks this thing was so full that the dead flies formed an "island" within the bag of water that allowed the flies that were still alive to begin breeding. That's when I decided it was time to change the trap. No joking, there were at least 500 dead flies in the bag. We are currently on our second trap, which is filling up more slowly, I assume due to a reduced fly population.
The only downside, as other reviewers have noted, is that the trap stinks once it is activated with water (The smell is exactly like that of an old dumpster), so you definitely don't want to hang one in your house. We hang our traps under our backyard deck and can rarely smell them. We have already noticed significantly fewer flies in our house. I think one or two more traps should do the job, at least until next summer.
In short, at four bucks a piece you can't beat these environmentally-safe traps for exterminating those flying annoyances around your house.

We've used these for two years, and they are excellent. Less cumbersome to use than the Farnham fly traps, altho I would recommend a one gallon ziplock bag to put each one in after it's full (about 1 1/2 inch of flies) and then because they stink badly (why do you think the flies love them so?), put them in the garbage quickly. You will also need to refill the water level a couple of times. Buy a bunch of them, because in our neck of the woods, the horse stores run out quickly in mid-August. They will save until next year if you buy too many.
Best Fly Trap I Have Ever Used September 7, 2007

I hung this fly trap over the front of my doorstep where I leave food for cats. Naturally many flies are attracted to this area. Also garbage attracts flies to front of house. But with this fly trap hanging in front, I have captured most of them leaving me free of annoying flies in front of my house.

I have 1.16 acres and a dog w/free run and many ferrell cats in the area.
These fly catchers dont look or smell pretty but they definately keep the flys to a minimum. giving me peaceful afternoons and evenings on the porch.

This has been in operation in my backyard for a week now, and my backyard is now fly free! It has killed thousands of flies and has plenty of room left. No more ruined BBQs because of pesky flies! I am so happy I found this product.
