Die fly die!!!!

Works better than I could dream. We have a dog run and quite a bit of dog poop for 3 big mutts. I read reviews and wanted to try this. Wow 5 days in and bag is almost full. Smells like death

This is a miracle Fly Trap, as it really does attract nuisance flies

This fly trap works! I told my spouse to buy this fly trap, as I have previously used them before. Unfortunately, my spouse came back with a refillable plastic jug from a local store that was suppose to trap flies in it ( this other fly trap claimed to be reusable). I was not happy about that and said the rescue fly traps are the only ones that work, as I have previously tried other fly trap products and discovered rescue fly traps were the best ones. Thus, I then went online and ordered this product from Amazon. we have now changed out the rescue fly traps six times already and the other product in the reusable jugs still only have a few flies in them! In start contrast, the rescue fly traps have hundreds if not thousands of flies in them. Buy this product and don't waste your money on other fly trap products. If you have a fly problem, soon you won't with this product. Caveat: Remember this product is an attractant so flies will flock to it. Thus, do not hang it close to your house or front door as flies will literally be buzzing around trying to get inside this death trap. If you hang it too close to your front door, the smell is bad and you'll regret having that trap hanging that close to your front door. Furthermore, some of the flies might enter your home when you open your door because there will be so many of the flies trying to enter the trap that some will fly in your door when it's opened.

throw a stinky bag of dead flies at your enemies

ive only ever noticed about maybe 7 or 8 flies at any time in my backyard, so i put this up to get rid of them. ive had it up for a week, and im not sure if you can tell in the picture, but the top layer is completely black because it is full of dozens and dozens of dead flies. not sure if its because there were that many in hiding around my yard, or if its attracting all flies in the area and neighbors yards. but its definitely doing a good job of killing them.

HELL..IN A BAG

Well, this works. A little too well. We knew we had a fly problem (thanks to new neighbors that have questionable horse care practices) But, WOW did we REALLY have a fly problem. The first day, this caught a few flies, but what happened over the following week was simply unbelievable. The more flies that got stuck in it, the more flies it seemed to attract. By day 4 there were so many flies that the entire bag was BLACK. My husband walked up and took a look and said.."That's pure Hell in a bag right there." We just hung a new one. Let the exorcism commence.

VERY Effective but Beware the Smell

The Rescue FTD Non-Toxic Disposable Fly Trap is great for attracting flies and keeping them away from your house. You have to pour water in and mix it with the included powder to activate the chemical fly lure, which smells pretty rank. Note: the odor is NOT pleasant. The flies love this stuff, though, and will be drawn to it rather than your BBQ or deck. Just make sure to place it a good 75+ feet from your house, though, because as the flies enter it, die and rot, the smell becomes unspeakable. When it comes time to take it down and throw it out, make sure you have latex gloves, multiple plastic bags, a protective suit, and Vics Vapor Rub for under your nose. It really does work and it will draw the flies away from your house all summer.

Works As Advertised..

The Sterling Rescue (2 Pack) Outdoor Disposable Fly Catcher, Control Trap with Attractant, Insecticide Free, is an amazing product. It traps pesky flies and kills them with zero insecticide. It simply works. When opening the trap be careful to trim the bag just inside, or on the dotted line at the yellow plunger. Once trimmed, pull out the plunger and add water to the "Fill Line" on the bag. This trap attracts flies by emitting a foul odor. I noticed a faint odor after the bag was filled with water but nothing too overwhelming. After a day or two, the trap has a definite stench. Shortly after hanging this trap I noticed several flies inside the bag within a couple of hours. As each day passes I notice even more flies attracted to the trap. After it's been prepared and hung up in an out of the way location, flies attracted by the odor then enter the trap through the top, become trapped and then drown. Even though this trap is insecticide free, the manufacturer recommends washing your hands after handling this product. Please rate this review if you found it helpful. Update... 2/27/2013 I've had one of these traps hanging up just outside my door since I wrote the first review. A single trap is still catching hundreds of flies. Depending on outside weather conditions, some days it stinks worse than others but this trap definitely reeks. My first trap is about half full of fly carcasses and it's still going strong. With time the water level tends to evaporate but just add a little occasionally and you're good to go. You don't have to touch the trap to add water. I can't speak highly enough about this product.

The only good bug is a dead bug! -- Name that movie lol

These things work!!! I'm working in Kuwait and this place is absolutely infested with flies. They swarm everywhere, it's completely disgusting. We've killed hundreds and hundreds with fly swatters, we built screen doors for our building, but nothing was stemming the tide. So I ordered a couple of these and hung them up last night before I went home for the day. I came back this morning to find clouds of flies swarming around them almost fighting each other to be the first in the funnel. So within 24 hours, there are already enough dead flies in the trap that the living are walking on a solid mass of the floating corpses of the dead. Hopefully the little demon bodies will sink to the bottom as soon as they're saturated with water. Meanwhile scores more are still stuck inside climbing the walls trying to find a way out. After weeks and weeks of being swarmed with these disgusting little creatures, this is glorious. So for the practical part of the review: The bag is self-contained, you will need to cut out a small hole in the plastic on the top (clearly marked), pull the yellow out a bit, and then pour water into the bag until it reaches the fill line. There is a baggie of bait powder inside that dissolves in the water. I added warm water so it dissolved quicker. The top of the yellow handle has a hole to hang it with, but you will need your own string or a nail. So in summary, these things are killing TONS of these flies. I'm so impressed that I'm ordering a couple more so I can keep this genocide up as long as I'm here. And I've attached a picture, don't mind the low resolution, I'm using my beater phone and it's hard to see through the bag due to the markings as well as all of the flies inside. But you can see the solid black mass of dead flies floating in the water as well as the doomed clinging to the walls. Buy these, you will not be disappointed.

Flies simply SWARM to this thing, crawl in, can't crawl out and drown, they're so stupid

WOW! These things work! Don't ask me how because I don't think there is any poison involved. Rather there is some sort of powder attractive to flies, to which you add water. And then the flies simply SWARM to this thing, crawl in, can't crawl out and drown, they're so stupid. And boy oh boy are they ever attracted to this thing. In less than ten days I had a bag completely filled to the brim with dead flies. Very satisfying because even on a day when you think 'I really didn't accomplish much today' you actually did because you decreased the amount of vermin able to reproduce in the world. Plus, as a bonus, since the bag is clear, you get a very satisfying view of them struggling over the corpses of their fellow vermin until they die. The bag advertises that it can attract and hold 20,000 flies, and I don't doubt it at all, although I replaced the bag at probably the 10,000 mark.

Some tips on using fly traps

the fly traps work great I live in the county and I hate fly's I have used them for many years if you have not used them before I have three tips they smell very bad after about a week, and I leave them up about 3 to 4 weeks as they work better and better as the stink gets worse and trust me they do fill with fly's, and smell is bad enough to make you puke so tip 1. put them away from were people doors or windows are. Tip 2 when you change them do it when its cool out they don't smell as bad, and tip 3 use bailing wire when hanging I looped wire through the eye on the top of trap the other as an eye for the hook put tape on both the ends of the wires so they wont poke or tear the trash bags you need to use to remove traps to the trash. ( I use small office type trash bags work best for me ) You want to make sure the fly traps are easy to remove I use hooks that hold the bags away at least an inch from a wall or post this way you can slid the trash bag over the trap wile its hanging. ( you don't want to shake or move the traps if possible ) Then seal the traps in the trash bags with tape around the top half of the bailing wire still sticking out the top of the now sealed trash bag then its easy to take the trap off the hook and to the trash, this keeps the stink and grossness way down .

Fly Magnet - but Location Matters

It's amazing that I typically don't see flies around the house - until I sit on the patio to eat (which I love to do). Then the patio instantly starts swarming with them... That's why we started using these fly traps a couple of years ago. These work great, as other reviews mention, but you have to be careful of where they're placed for maximum effectiveness. Here are some placement tips that have worked for us: 1) They work better in the shade. I'm not sure why, but flies aren't as attracted to them once the sun shines directly on them. 2) Don't put them right by the door - or in the area you plan to be sitting in. About 20 feet away seems ideal to keep the smell down and the flies away. 3) Don't put them right by the outdoor trash cans. It seems like that would work well, but the trash cans are too tempting of a target. Once again, they work better if they're 15-20 feet away from the trash. These work great, and our patio is fly-free now when I'm enjoying a quick lunch out there. We subscribed to them on Amazon so we automatically get 2 new fly traps every month, and they're always full when we throw the old ones away. I'm always amazed at how many flies actually get captured (especially small ones). There are obviously more flies outside than I ever knew... If you're looking for a great way to keep flies away from your house - I don't think there are any better or easier solutions than these fly traps.
