Safer Brand Victor M382 Fly Magnet Trap, 1 Gallon with Bait

It immediately works but you should only use it outside and only if you have a real problem. I can’t explain how bad it smells.

These fly catchers work awesome. It catches millions of flys. Works great.

I purchased 2 shepherd hooks, drove them into the ground and hung the first one I purchased about 50 feet from the house in case the smell was really strong. In two days it was over half full of flies and the odor wasn't noticeable until I was within ten feet of it. I ordered another one, it came today, took just a few minutes to install closer to the house on the other shepherd hook. Neighbors all around have dogs, Raccoons living all around, a resident ground hog family, a number of cats, the birds can't keep up with the flies so I'm helping them out. I highly recommend this trap.This is an update. The trap works very well. That being said I'm now having to empty the trap. Many of the bugs are alive inside of it & if I open it to empty the trap they will escape. I filled a bucket with water and submerged the trap, flies & maggots were soon floating in the bucket. I poured bleach in the bucket but the maggots didn't die. They were crawling out of the bucket & were everywhere. I drained the water out of the bucket and the trap, swept up the maggots & dead flies put them in a small trash bag, tied it up & put in the garbage can. Working close to the trap, the smell was awful. Snaking out sewers & toilets doesn't make me sick. This smell gave me a pounding headache. I ordered throwaway flytraps and will replace these traps after cleaning up the mess. I suggest others do the same.

Every year starting in February the flies come swarming. I have purchased the smaller versions of traps like these, but this year decided to get the gallon hoping it would keep me from having to empty it out as often. I set it up today, and instead of waiting as the instructions said I stuck it outside on the ground where the flies are. Less than 5 minutes later there are already lots of flies in the jar and many more standing in line waiting to go in.3/23/15 I must clean this thing out TODAY. lol It's is completely full of flies, I mean FULL. This is also the first time in 20 years of living here (never had fly issues in other states like I have in AZ) that I didn't have that sticky fly paper stuff hanging everywhere in my house, full of flies, and sticking to the cats. This trap worked so well that we had no fly problems in the house. For such a simple design, this thing really works. The only thing that would make me happier is to find an easy, less gross way to empty it. :D4/9/15: The trap is almost completely full again, pretty darn amazing. The problem is that my yard is too small. I hadn't noticed it much at first, but recently we've been getting some really nice breezes (rare around here). Those breezes are spreading the STENCH everywhere, surrounding my small house. I cannot imagine why the neighbors have not said anything other than we all try to keep to ourselves. But it's making me so uncomfortable worrying about if it's bothering them that I'm going to have to pack it up. Unfortunately I missed garbage day by 1 day ... last week I took it out 2 days before garbage day and it smelled 5 houses down the block. I'm not kidding. This is NOT the fault of the product, it works as advertised. But if you care about your neighbors, be aware of how the smell spreads as it is just about the more horrible smell ever. lolNote: I can't figure out how I'm going to clean this well enough to put it away anywhere. I'm going to rinse it out as best as I can, then hang it (empty) out of sight under a tree or something. Maybe leave some baking soda water in it. I don't see how the smell will completely leave so if it's too bad I will be forced to toss the whole thing. If that's the case, then the disposable ones would be a LOT easier to deal with. It's just hard to imagine spending all this money for a month or 2 of serious fly season. Need much better prices so we can feel better about disposing of the whole thing. It does work, so 4 stars. I removed 1 star because cleaning / disposing is very difficult.

This worked incredibly well. Two days and all the flies in my house were gone. BUT it smells soooooooo bad!!! Worse than bloated roadkill. Definitely for short term use.

I went to a friends house that has four dogs, a tiny yard and refuses to pick up the mess of the dogs. Shockingly there were NO flies!!! When I asked about the secret on how to get rid of said flies, she pointed to a jar hanging on her porch. Perplexed, I just HAD to get one and try it out.This thing WORKS!!!!! I’ve had to empty it twice in two weeks, buying replacement food...... oh boy..... more on that in a second. This thing is a fly magnet!!! It’s absolutely genius. So let’s break this down.The good: it means a fly trap, it’s a very simple screw on lid with four holes and a flimsy canopy for the flies. You just fill it up to the line with water, pour in what will be revealed in just a second, hang it somewhere where you don’t want flies, then check it once a week for how full it gets.The bad: DO NOT USE AROUND COMPANY. I swear on everything that is holy, I had company and they too were impressed by the lack of flies, I thought it would be a good idea to take it down, show it off, you know... flex a little. They swore up and down that I had eaten all the gassiest foods and somehow disrespected even my neighbors, OR I had a dead body hidden and the juice had finally exploded. It’s beyond disgusting. Mixing it is the absolute worse, there is nothing to get away from it. Just use a nuclear power plant, dip it out and have a crane hang it somewhere outside.The bottom line: the smell my disgust your inner most core, but in all reality that where you’ll find the most flies. It works so well, that I have bought the small version. It really does work, just don’t mix it in your house.

This thing SMELLS like a rotting corpse of a skunk but it works just as well as that rotting corpse to attract flies. I put this in the far corner of our yard (decent size lot) and it attracted flies to the point we noticed considerably less hanging out near the back patio entrance. The only caveat is that corner of the yard did smell but the kids can deal with it. LOL

In six days this trapped two files.In an area loaded with flies, it's hard to believe it performs as badly as it does.A glass of iced tea will catch more flies than this does
