After hanging them if you pass within 3-5 feet you are going to smell the bait, but they work well. They have all but eliminated the flies on the back patio, and around our garbage & compost bins.

We live in a desert around our farm and had a terrible fly problem. These have seemed to keep the flies away for the most part and I was surprised at how many it caught in such a short time. It caught so many that there began to grow maggots and I will tell you….it is the top 3 worst smells I have ever had to smell in my whole life. After the dead flies marinate in the ick if the other dead flies, the odor is so terrible, you can’t put it anywhere close to anything that has a nose. I’m trying to figure out how to dispose of it without throwing up.I’ve had then less than 2 weeks and the smell is unbearable. I won’t be able to keep up buying so frequently. A bit expensive when you think of it that way but like I said, it is effective at trapping the things.

Doesn't retain the flies quite like you think it would

We are rural but don't really get flies and enjoy our property all through the year - until it starts to turn cold in the fall. Then the filth flies come in droves to our property from seemingly miles around. The air stays still and warm under our patio cover and the flies roost under there in the hopes of not yet freezing to death as they inevitably will.Meanwhile I put these bait bags out in the hopes of reducing the number of flies trying to get into the house from the patio. These bags start catching in a day or two and are quickly stuffed full of dead flies so I go through quite a lot of them.These bags do help a lot but I also think they're a catch-22 - if I put them under the patio roof where they will do the most good, they also seem to attract more flies to that area. If the flies weren't more strongly attracted to the warmth under the patio roof than the bait, I would definitely locate the bags further away from the house.Next year I'm going to try releasing fly predators to see if I can reduce the population. I have a feeling they are flying in and not breeding in my area, but we'll see.

The appearance is what you'd except from a bag fly trap. Don't let the ugly descriptions deter you. If you're looking for an attractive fly killer, go for one of the electric ones. This one is effective for it's purpose. Yes it stinks, but not if you keep it outdoors 30-40ft away from where you hang out like the instructions tell you to do. Also, it doesn't matter as much for something like camping and short term because part of the stink problem is the decaying dead bugs.This is super easy to set up and it's nice it comes with ties, so you don't have to worry about bringing some with you! All you have to do is unscrew the top and pour in water to the line marked on the bag. Leave the top unscrewed when you leave it hanging up, that's how the bugs get inside.After taking two bags down after being up for a couple days, they had caught about 20 of those meat attested bees, that are annoying when you're eating. We only had one or two occasionally buzzing around our table. I also lite a citronella candle when we were eating.I was really impressed with how effective this was for just a two day trip, but made our camping experience much more enjoyable.

The product works great. The smell is really foul, especially on hot days. I live in a semirural area near horses and other livestock and the flies are huge and there are many if ithem. The flies always bother my dogs and I think some of them are biting flies. First I hung the traps up near where my dogs lay. The flies go to the bags, but the flies are still flying around the dogs. The bags were too close to my front door. The smell was awful. I moved the bags about 30 ft away from where my dogs lay, and further away from my front door. The flies still went to the bags instead of bothering my dogs nonstop. They still worked and the smell was further away. The bag is disgusting to look at. You can see that it is full of dead flies. I tried another brand to see if had less smell and still worked. The other brand had a design on the bag that blended in with the backyard better. It took longer for flies to be drawn to the other bags. I had to order the Catchmaster bags again because the new, better looking bags weren't as effective. These Catchmaster bags work. It would be great if they coyld change the packaging to blend in better and not be such an eyesore in your backyard.

They are dead by the hundreds within days. Live in an urban area with a medium yard, flies were around but only a moderate problem, it wasn't like we thought a ton of flies were around they were just mildly annoying. Then we put up one of these. It filled with HUNDREDS of flies within days. HUNDREDS. ALL THE FLIES. Or so we thought, after this one was *actually full of dead flies* we put up another one and it is well on its way to killing even more flies that we didn't know existed. This is insane, and it's so much nicer to eat dinner on our back porch, hang out in the yard etc. We had tried a zapper, some other trap-based (smaller) products, various electrical things, but this one is actually solving the problem. I'm trying to find out if there's any like environmental issue with killing flies, like is it bad to eliminate a fly population? It's that many flies, now dead. No more flies in the house! At all. It's over, it's a massacre. I'm starting to feel bad, like this is too much.
