I bought two of these last year the flies in SE GA are terrible in the summer. I placed one in the backyard about 20 feet away from our house. Then I placed one in the front yard about 10 feet from our house. After hanging this I didn't see one fly around or in our home. They do stink, I guess that's what attracts the flies. Attach a string or whatever you're going to use to hang it, fill it to the line with water and viola , it's ready to hang. It doesn't take long to capture those pesky flies. The stores sell out fast, buy enough to get you through the summer. They are a little pricey, but it's well worth it not to have flies in my home or around my grilling/eating area outside.

OH MY GOSH I thought all I had was a few flies out side my dog run . I put 1 of these things up and I think I'm catching every fly in the neighborhood, I don't know where they are coming from .it's only been a week and I think I need to replace it already . Great Great catcher . It stinks somewhat so don't put it near the house.

I bought these before, and they are effective. In fact, flies run out of room to visit this "hotel". I have to dispose of these about twice per week (drop into a garbage bag and tie it shut). They're drawn to the used cat litter despite it is in twist-tie storage bags inside garbage bags. The flies obviously find these attractive. Seems we must be drawing flies from the entire neighborhood. I've tried other brands and found them disappointing. They did not draw nearly as many flies, or keep them captured. These are a seasonal product, so buy more than a half-year's worth at two per week which usually gives some spares to use the next spring giving me time to order more. Too bad they don't include a string for hanging, but I've got a roll in the garage to use with these. At one time, I was using a small chain with hook to hang these, but the filth from the flies got on the chain, so it was disgusting to remove or hang a new trap without gloves. With a string, the trap and string get dumped in the trash. These get dumped into a garbage bag before going into the trash to prevent drawing the flies into the trash cart, plus closing the top is not a water-tight seal, and I don't want the water leaking into the trash cart. These are very stinky. I have to hang them at the backside of the garage and away from the house to eliminate smelling the stink inside the house. This brand is my go-to fly trap since it is very effective.

We have started eating more meals in our backyard and couldn’t believe the mass invasion of flies upon our table. I happened to notice this product when I was at Walmart and figured I would give it a try. Within the first hour, flies were all over it and crawling inside. We were able to enjoy our meal with minimal intrusion. Highly recommend!

These traps work great! They are easy to use...fill with water and hang. The only drawback is that they stink...so if you're sitting outside near them, or if the wind blows in your direction, you're going to smell that rotten egg smell. But at least you will not be bothered by flies!

After I read all the review about this trap, I already expect it comes a distinct smell. However, it smells really bad. The worse thing is it does attract more flies, but they DON'T go in the trap. I end up didn't catch anything and have to throw it out!!! What a waste of 2 traps I brought.

I have used these for years. I have one hanging now and it is so full of flys that no more can get in there! 8^) It literally has flys from top to bottom - thousands of them. Very nasty, but all you have to do is close the lid on it and put it in the trash. I like to put it in a jar/can for disposal so it doesn't leak or burst in the trash. The only drawback is that they STINK! Of course, that's why they work, so just hang them DOWN WIND from you and at least 20' from any living space. I bought 2 cases last year because Walmart ran out of them early and don't seem to re-stock them in the winter. Great for barn areas and for camping. Be prepared to just leave them behind if camping.

These traps work great. I have a terrible problem with flies . They are always bothering me when I sit outside. I bought a couple of these and put them out a little ways from where I sit. Almost immediately, the flies began buzzing around them. They do smell disgusting, so don't put them too near where you sit. It is almost fascinating to watch just how many flies are entering these bags. I am attaching a picture that was taken after having these bags out for only three days. I have purchased four more bags, and will continue to purchase them as long as the flies are giving me problems. I am going to put one near my pets' food as the flies bother them also.

I DO think that this product captures the flies extremely well, BUT... it stinks to no end!! I thought there was a dead animal somewhere outside of my house and it turned out to be this fly trap. In addition, my managers at a restaurant I work at decided to put these out on the patio deck so guests could be free of flies. Well, they were free of flies, but not the stench!! No one could figure out the smell. When I pointed it out, the fly traps were all removed immediately. So, if you want a fly trap that is amazing at catching flies, this is it!! Just keep it away from anywhere you may want to relax and not smell the stench.

This is the most stinkiest disgusting thing I've ever had in my life! Can't even describe what it smells like! All it's doing is attracting all the flies from the whole neighborhood into my yard. I've never had this many flies until I put this thing up! Not all flies are going in. Must be to stinky for even them.. Had it for 2 days
