 Works great - no poisons September 27, 2006

Flies are super common in the Fall where we live. While poison-based solutions work great, the Reusable Fly Trap is the only no poison trap that keeps the fly population at bay. It works simply: flies are drawn to the attractant inside the trap. They can get in, but not out and they eventually die there. Yes, you have to rinse it out every week our two. And you'll occasionally need a refill for the attractant.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/ROZKZOSMPY6SG This flytrap DOES make a noticeable difference. Safe for my Cats and dogs! My yard, 60x40 feet, used to have flies buzzing and BITING and getting in the house, all the time. Since I put this about 20 feet from the patio and back door, the flies have been minimal. It DOES have a slight bad aroma, but just keep it downwind! I've had to empty the container (twice June,July 2007)Every two weeks in 2008 because of the rainy weather, see video..(today is August 06,2008)with thousands of flies in it. Filled top to bottom in the container so that not one more fly could even enter the top. That is no joke.. yes it was that full. The secret is keeping it with at least 2/3 full of water at all times. It will last about 2 weeks in my yard before getting 100% full. No, need to dump it every few days, just keep the water in it. Works best in warmer weather, hotter the better (keep in sun as much as possible. Safe enough to take camping, which I do. Just never, ever let it get dried, or it stops working. The flies must drown! They can't get back out. The older the attractant, the better it works. Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate.. seen one lately?? If you make your own attractant, it may kill the bees also (thus no pollination of the flowers).. use their attractant to attract the flies only.
Works great! August 10, 2007

Smells bad, but it works great! I did end up buying the disposable ones after this one though, because washing it out by hand was disgusting.
 Does its job, but IT DOES STINK October 1, 2007

Yes, this thing stinks like 10 years worth of garbage. Heck with something that stink you're BOUND to attract flies. You might even save some money leaving out the bait and just putting garbage inside. But hey, it works. lots of flies dead inside. Outdoor use only, and FAR from your window.
Foul stench draws flies December 6, 2008

I have owned several of these for a couple of years now. We have horses and the associated manure pile. If you have horses, you have flies.
These traps smell like rotting garbage. If they smelled like petunias they wouldn't work. They need to smell like what the flies want. Hang them down wind if possible, but their location will have a great deal to do with their effectiveness. In our case, a couple near the manure pile and a couple more between that and the house has decimated the fly population.
Some other caveats also apply. Emptying these things when they become filled with rotting, disintegrating fly carcasses is gross beyond all recall. They hold literally tens of thousands. If you hang them in a dry, sun exposed location, you will have to add water to compensate for the evaporation. If you hang them where they are exposed to rain they may fill up with water. Just dump out the excess(this is also gross). If you find a location that's ideal you will be rewarded with a grimm harvest that is beyond imagination. Don't think you're going th hang these inside or anywhere where you'll get a whiff.
All that said, I wouldn'd trade them. If you use them within their limits, you won't be disappointed. Anyway, what's your risk...7 bucks?
