Woops! Hope you gave it another try! Our traps work phenomenally well.

SAME! I cut the whole bottom half off lol!

I guess this is my group , let's say we all meet here again in a month , see what progress we have made?? lol

@@misskristinn 😂😂

Same here lol. Taped it shut but it leakes slowly and the flies are just going to where it leakes now ugh.

Thank for sharing 😊

I thought the same thing and I cut the bag open before I even read the instructions ugh lol.

We get this comment a lot! The trap is only attracting flies from about 20 feet, depending on wind and air flow. Who knew you had so many flies around!

Lmfao

nothing has been trapped so far and its been like 6 days

Yes they do! We're so glad you think so!

The same is happening to me with the fly trap that I hung

It’s not normal, but if the trap is at a slight angle, receiving a lot of “sideways rain” with wind, or it has rained a downpour more than the usual rainfall, this can happen. Please email info@rescue.com and we will make this right for you.

Fly Traps should be disposed of when the trap is full, when the trap dries out, or after 30 days - whichever comes first. If you see flies breeding in the bag, that shouldn't be a problem as long as you follow the disposal guidelines. While the trap still has liquid and isn't being used past 30 days, the newly hatched flies can't leave the trap. Hope this helps!

We have not tested fly trap contents in compost to know for sure, and flies do harbor a lot of bacteria, but we have heard of some users adding the trap contents to their compost. Because it's officially untested, we can't say composting is an "approved" method of disposal for fly trap contents.

It is amazing to see how many flies are in your area once you hang the trap! We recommend hanging the trap 20 feet away from patios, decks, or outdoor living spaces to draw flies away from where you want to be. Rest assured, the trap doesn't attract flies that aren't already there on your property, and it keeps them contained from laying eggs for more flies.

What does it smell like?

@@minnymoon1360 lol at :58 poor dog ahahaha its like hot rotting fish and rotten eggs, garbage, and like a weird chemical smell almost like medicine/pills. If you walk over this bag when its in use it might make you gag, on a hot day this really has a range to it the smell. I would consider it cruel and unusual punishment to have a dog near this thing.

You can hang from a tree, a fence post, shepherds hook, hanging plant hook, or a nail on the side of a structure. We’re available at info@rescue.com for questions.

Are you asking how long before the trap starts catching flies? Minutes, or a couple hours at most depending on temperature, time of day and the fly population. Are you asking how long the trap lasts before you need to hang a new one? The trap will last about 30 days in the average yard, less if you have a high population of flies and the bag fills before 30 days. The trap will keep working until it is full and no more flies can get in, until it dries out, or up to 30 days - whichever comes first.

@@WhyRescue thank you for your valuable info

@@WhyRescue I live in the Netherlands and ordered it via Amazon - but I do not notice the "soluble bag" inside??? Did I get taken for a ride? I have hung mine up and 24 hours later it still does not smell like anything - just pure water.

@@hildaqueen It's possible you have encountered a counterfeit product, and should return it to Amazon. Authentic RESCUE! products will always have a bait pouch. A plastic bag with water isn't going to do you much good! :) We also saw your email come through at info@rescue.com and will respond there as well. Thanks!

@@WhyRescue thank you. I ordered your refill bags on Amazon. (From your site😁).

Hi David, The top does reclose, but it is not a watertight seal. We recommend placing it in a plastic bag and keeping it upright when you dispose of it. Personally, I like to wait until trash day to take mine down:) There is a video on how to dispose here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9OmdtZ9msy7o30.htmlsi=4bV12lSaKM9W0Nif

There's a water soluble pouch of powder, and when water is added to the trap, it releases an odor attractive to flies.

Aka manure.

Flies shouldn't be able to get out of the trap once inside. It might take a few hours for them to drown in the water, but they shouldn't be able to get out of the trap. You might make sure the top is fully extended and not leaning to one side. Please email us at info@rescue.com and we can help you.

We have a video about how to dispose - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9OmdtZ9msy7o30.html Please let us know if you have more questions!

Not this particular trap, but we do have several options for reusable fly traps! Visit rescue.com/products to take a look.

We’re sorry you encountered a defective trap. Please email us at info@rescue.com and we’ll make this right.

Amanda, this is an outdoor fly trap. For indoors we recommend the Indoor Fly TrapStik.

@@WhyRescue I can use it indoors? Can you send me a link of the product

@@amandaserrano5934 Here you go! www.rescue.com/products/traps/trapstik-for-flies215/

No, the odor isn’t harmful, just stinky! If you can, you might hang it further away from you.

Actually, we have our own R&D lab here in Washington State, and one of our scientists counted them!

Damn I feel bad for the scientist that counted all those flies lol

😂

😂😂😂😂😂

Noooooo!!!! Lmfao
