TerroT380 Outdoor Reusable Fly Magnet Fly Trap - Poison Free Fly Killer and Trap with Bait

OMG this thing is amazing! We are using it at our cottage on the lake and we have always had a lot of flies buzzing around, but I actually purchased this hoping it would get rid of the sand flies/fleas/gnats that are so annoying in the spring/early summer. I am sad to say this does NOT work for those, but it is INCREDIBLE how well it works for the regular annoying flies!!!I originally purchased a 3-pack of the quart'ish size containers that had a bait and chain included with each trap. I mixed up the bait as instructed and agree with many of the reviewers that this smells, so I brought them outside to fill the next two. I immediately had flies attracted to the trap while filling them!!! It says to wait a couple hours before placing the traps (guessing to let the bait dissolve), which I only did the first time because it stinks up the house. I hung the traps and within hours every trap had so many flies I couldn't even count them!! By the next day they were 3/4 full in the morning, so I added some water (not fun when there are flies swarming around you as you do this) and by the evening, the traps were filled to the brim!!! I then ordered three more traps to increase the coverage on our property, but sadly I did not check the description close enough because the 3 I ordered did not come with chains, just the trap and one bait pack each.Luckily we have some wooded land on our property, so I just take the full traps out back and fling all the dead carcasses back there. With as fast as these traps are filling, there is no way I can possible remove the carcasses and reuse the bait again, nor would I even want to try because it really smells like death has truly warmed over...so gross!! I cannot imagine cleaning the traps either, until the end of the year when I put them away for the season. Thankfully I had purchased some refill bait packets (StarBar brand) when I got the traps originally, and I highly recommend doing this if you are buying the traps. These refills smell the same as the Fly Magnet bait and are almost more effective, because I am refilling my traps within 24 hours!!! The StarBar refills have way more bait than the Fly Magnet came with, so (being thrifty) I am going to try and use 1/3 of the bait refill in each trap to see if it works just as well as a full pack does. I figure it smells the same, so they will be attracted to it. I will find out today if this works!I highly recommend this product for anyone trying to rid themselves of flies. Again, this does not work on sand flies/fleas/gnats, but it does an amazing job on flies. I am interested to find out if they work on the hornets, yellow jackets and other non-honey bees as one of the reviewers stated. If that is the case, I am buying a bunch of these for my home as our fruit trees are magnets for bees in the late summer/fall. If I could, I would give this 10 stars it is so amazing!!! I never review products, but this one deserves all the accolades they can get! Wish I invented it!!!

I was skeptical but it really works! My HOA insists that garbage cans be hidden so the only place for them is in my garage. I wanted a trap that would catch them before they enter the house. So far today it has trapped about a dozen flies. I am more than satisfied with the performance of this product. Buyers should know that the bait does smell like rotting garbage and is rather strong. Definitely not for indoor use!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Second buy of this product. It collects the flys and makes outside almost fly free.

Wow this little thing works great. I have only had it up for 24 hrs and there is well over 100+ flies in there. I am amazed. I'm not sure how I feel about dumping the dead flys out and putting a new packet in. It's smells horrific but no the less is works great. Update ...after 5 days in the heat of 105 degrees it's ful and smells like a dead animal. It's horrible I don't know that I could stomach changing it out and putting in a new packet I feel like this thing attracts flies from everywhere your neighbors two streets over maybe a county over is so potent

This thing works great. Hung near my front door to keep some flies out. It did the job quickly, however, it smells so bad I had to move it. I know that is why it works so well but whew, keep it downwind.Moved to my little garden and it did great keeping flies away from basil. Completely full after 72 hours. Not looking forward to dumping out to refill but oh well. Be strategic where you place it and you will be happy!

I don't think I have ever been so pleased with a bug product! I put it out on Sunday I think and it is full of hundreds of flies which certainly grosses me out. I've just texted a neighbor to see if I can buy him a 6-pack of his favorite beer to just put it in a tightly contained bag for the trash pickup on Thursday. NO WAY am I emptying it anywhere or asking anyone else to empty it. It does smell horrible (and it is on my patio but it's way too hot to sit outside right now anyway) but I don't like the flies flying in my house when I come in and out of my back yard! Anyway, I have already bought another one and am prepared to use it and hope my neighbor and I can work out this deal! :-)

Worked great the first time! When I rinsed it out and reused it, the lid detached and the whole container fell and made a mess. Good for maybe one or two uses, but I wouldn't recommend this long term.

We have tried all the usual methods to rid ourselves of flies before buying this. Within a few days this item had captured nearly every fly in North America. So much so that I have to empty the unit and buy more bait for it. One note, it smells like the bowels of hell on fire so place it a little further away, but that must be how it works. I recommend you use this outside only or it will compete with Taco Tuesday bathroom and a 9 cat litter box and you'll have to sell your house. OUTSTANDING results - If you have a problem with flies do not hesitate to buy this solution. It REALLY works.
