This fly trap works. Period. Yes, it can stink; however, when I look at how many hundreds of flies are in it and how many thousands have been therefore prevented from reproducing I have no problem holding my breath when walking by the traps. I dislike our throw away society and do force myself to add water and dump the dead into a bag, tie it up and toss it in the dump then just re-bait and hang. We have a herd of horses and the difference with these traps around is happily noticeable. Get these and you won't be disappointed.

These traps are simply amazing - they take a few days to kick in, but they fill up quickly after that. I've had at least a hundred flies caught in a week, and it makes you think "where did they all come from?" (we live in a suburban area)

YES, it does stink - the dead flies start to decompose, obviously, after a few days. While you *can* empty and re-use, I just throw it out with the garbage and use a new trap. For this reason, best put them someplace where you don't pass often (or eat close to!). This will also attract flies in the local area, so you'll see a lot of activity near the trap.

It takes a few weeks of use to clear our the fly population, so buy more than one. I guess the lifespan of a common fly is about 2 weeks.

Definitely worth getting - I try to buy a few at a time and use proactively.

I have used these for years and they are great! Flies will always be around for some reason....its called nature! I am glad it attracks the ones around and pretty much traps 95%. Nothing is ever fullproof. I recommend this always and the people that have tried it, loves it!

I am absolutely floored at how well this product works! We put one by our trash can outside & one close to my neighbors dog pen & they are full by the end of 1 week. I don't know what it is that attacts them, but you can sit & watch them go in one right after the other. I highly recommend this product!

I've had a lot of flies in the house this summer. Seems I can't open the door with a few flies coming in. I put this outside and a week later there must be 400 or 500 flies in it. It is as amazing as it is disgusting. I'm not looking forward to emptying this thing, but I'm ecstatic about how many flies it's caught. I'm shocked.

Perhaps a good idea, but too skimpy on execution. Lid plastic wall and thread too weak to hold the bottle with water.

I originally purchased the smaller version of this product but upgraded to this version. It was 3/4 full of flies and I ended up throwing it away after maggots started appearing. It's pretty gross but very effective. I highly recommend purchasing more than one rather than re-using it.

I've had this about a week. It didn't kick in for several days. Nothing happened. Then, the next day, flies covered the top of all the water. Another day, and they're several layers deep. Still hasn't really started to stink, as others report.

I live on a small property of a couple of acres and occasionally in the summertime, one of the kids will leave the back door open and we'll get some flies in the house. I bought this thinking that it would attract all the flies in the house and catch them. So far, it's been sitting in a sunny window for a week and it's only caught one fly. I would say to save your money and buy a fly swatter.

The first fly trap arrived missing the white square piece on the top,I tried to use it without it, but it didn't work at all. So Amazon shipped a whole new trap to me and I thought it would work better whole and the bait in the new unit was a different color, so I thought maybe the bait had been worng in the first unit and that's why I hadn't caught anything. Nope, even with a new unit and new bait, I still never caught one fly. I left it up a week and it didn't work at all. I have no idea what the problem is. I am back to using sticky fly stips, at least they catch flys. Don't waste your money on this thing.
