RESCUE! Outdoor Disposable Fly Trap, Green, 2 Pack

I am buying these for the third time and using them for the 4th year. I need to describe my property, where I put them, and how to dispose of them easily. I live in marshy, bayside Maryland in USDA zone 7B/8A. We back up to protected tidal wetlands, which means--and these are just the pests with wings--982 species of mosquitoes, flying ants, gnats, biting and non-biting midges, and flies. So. Many. Flies. Black flies, houseflies, horseflies, sand flies, corpse flies. Every kind of fly except greenheads (although I killed one last year so they're coming). We have a beautifully landscaped backyard and inground pool, which we couldn't even use during certain times of the day because of the flies. Anyone who's reading this has a fly problem, and you know where there's one there's quickly a million because he tells his friends where the good eatin' is, whether that's your garbage can or your dog's poop or your saltwater pool or YOU and your tasty blood meal. The first year we had the pool, it was almost unusable in July and August because of the flies. I put these up at the end of August and they did cut down the population a little bit, but it was too late. The next year, I found these in the shed in May after a swarm came after me and put them up. Worked, but still too late. Last year, on a nice March day when I was outside battling the carpenter bees and putting down Preen and Sluggo, I decided to hang a fly bag too. Pre-emergent, prophylactic. Well, it worked PERFECTLY. No flies all year! See, it's an exponential number of flies if you don't get them early in the season. If you wait until May they've already bred and laid eggs at least three times so you're going to be dealing with 3X as many in May as you are in March. Stop that cycle early. None of the videos state that you have to place them at or below 5' (or at the level of the thing they are there for in the first place, whether it's a compost pile or livestock or you and your outdoor barbecue and picnic. Flies are garbage eaters and are attracted to rotting things on the ground, not 10' up. You HAVE to hang it low enough that they want THIS more than they want your compost pile, and it HAS to be in direct sun for at least a couple hours to really crank up the stench. If you live in a windy area, 20' away from where you congregate isn't enough; a gentle breeze will send this hot garbage flypocalypse right at you. Ok, so let's talk about disposal. I am one of those "easily disgusted" people (it's a thing, look it up) and I knew from the outset I could NOT deal with getting the full bag [shudder] and closing it [vomit] OK OK I'm fine it's fine [retches] Ok so [clears throat] so I knew I had to devise a plan in advance for the disgustingness that was sure to follow. I hung it from a branch in the woods behind my fence on a long S hook made for hanging basket plants. The first year I didn't realize I could not easily slide the thing off the end of the S hook--I thought a tight fit would keep it from falling or being blown off by the high winds we get here-- and I barfed a couple times trying to screw the top on before getting it off the hook and putting it in the "grocery bag" someone here suggested. Yeah, screw that. Here's what you do. First off, before you open and fill it, use an O-ring, or a carabiner, or anything sturdy and circular-ish (I use old keychain holders) and put it through the hanger hole. Maybe use a zip tie, just make a circle. Don't use wire though, seems like a great idea but that thing will bend and twist and you'll be worse off than using the dumb hanger it came with. Just trust me. So then figure out where to put it and hang up your S hook. Cut, fill, open, hang by the circle-ish thing you attached. Done. That was the easy part. Fast forward to 3 weeks to 3 months later. Now it's full and how in the world are you getting that disgusting flypocalypse down and putting up another one?! Well thank the lord you listened to that crazy 'easily disgusted' woman on Amazon who told you how to attach it for easy removal! Now all you have to do is wait for trash day, get a 3mil contractor bag and a six pack. Holding your breath, slide the O-ring off the S hook into the contractor bag beneath. Slide another fly bag you already prepared like the last one onto the S hook. Don't look at it. DON'T. JUST DON'T. You're holding your breath so hurry! Tie contractor bag the best you have ever tied a bag ever in your life, and put it at the curb right before the trash truck comes. Go out to your deck and drink the six pack (for a job well done, friend!) while ordering more of these from Amazon. P.S. Yes. It stinks. Like a skunk with 12 butts, run over by a truck, 5 days ago, that a turkey vulture ate then regurgitated, in August. Hold your breath. Better than flies.

I can't recommend the RESCUE! Outdoor Reusable Fly Traps enough! I have chickens and compost pits, so flies used to feel like a losing battle... until I found these. These traps are incredibly easy to set up — seriously, it takes just a few minutes — and they’re very affordable compared to other options I’ve tried. I set them up around my chicken coop and compost areas, and within hours, I could already see a huge reduction in the fly population. The bait has a smell (fair warning: you don’t want to stick your nose in it!), but from a normal distance, it’s not overpowering at all. And honestly, that "stank juice" is pure magic — it brings all the flies straight to their doom. Once they’re in, they’re DONE. It’s weirdly satisfying to check the traps and see just how effective they are. Each trap lasts a surprisingly long time, making them an even better value. If you're dealing with outdoor fly problems, this is hands down the easiest and most effective solution I've found. I’ll be a customer for life!

The first day didn't do much as the stink wasn't strong by the end of the week it captured and killed more than 100 flies 😳 yeah seams nasty you dont realize how many was in the area. So I hung up 2 bags. Doubled the count..so 2 weeks later still drawing in flies easy in not easy out..than down in the water. So yeah they work Hella good. From our neighbors dog poo 💩 they won't clean up so we can't even enjoy our backyard smell and flies and barking. With summer heat. It gets stinky buggy flies drive u crazy. Well these terminator bag won't stop. Tell maybe they dry up or get full. 🤔 so time will tell. But they work awesome worth the money 💰 would buy again and more. Thanks awesome product. It will amaze you. No bees was drawn to this just flies. Rip. Flies.

Work well but stink to high heaven. I guess that's what draws the flies and I believe it actually DRAWS the flies

Do not hesitate if you have a fly problem! These work and collect a hugh amount of flies, instead of bothering you at the party. there may be one or two that haven't found it yet, but use those food covers for the odd one that cant find the trap. I will use these every summer going forward. Impressive.

I was skeptical about these but they work like magic! Make sure you put it far away from the area you sit or eat! Because it smells horrid! But works like a charm! Easy to use and great price!

The smell will knock you out! If there is a breeze, expect the smell to find your nostrils! I guess this is why they work so well. We had to toss the bag after two weeks because the flies absolutely love the putrid smell. They catch them and they can't get out. Super easy to fill up and use, and if you can place them outdoors away from windows you will be way ahead of the game.

This is the only brand for Fly trap that works, all other have been waste of time and money

Desde dia 1 el producto presento resultados sorprendentes, el costo es alto pero altamente efectivo.

Muy buen producto ! Lo recomiendo

Excelente p roducto

Funciona muy bien, es un poco asqueroso de ver los primeros dias porque las moscas revolotean a su alrededor o incluso aun dentro de la bolsa, al paso de 1 semana o 2 empiezan a morir y deja de haber movimiento dentro del contenedor, lo máximo que lo he dejado son 3 semanas pues el olor empieza a ser un poco más fuerte, tolerable aun pero si más notorio. Le pongo 4 estrellas porque la verdad el precio me parece alto para estarlas comprando cada mes y aunque puedes comprar una sola vez el contenedor reutilizable y solo comprar el contenido para hacerlo más económico, no me animo porque si me da mucho asco tener que vaciar el contenido, tirar toda la bolsa me es más cómodo, pero pues es más caro y general más basura
