These things work great. Last year I had flies coming in the house every time I opened the door. I have seen very few this year. I bet there is a hundred in the bag since hanging it up 2 weeks ago. Pic is the same day i hung it up. [Linked Image]

Those are great, a little stinky, but work very well at controlling flies. Placed prevailing downwind from patio, house, etc. ftw.

Those work great but they do start to smell bad. I cut down a rotting Palm tree and had hundreds of flies attracted to the Palm tree stump. I hung one of those bags near the stump and it solved the problem.

They do indeed work. However sometimes I wonder if they attract more flies to my yard than I started with.

The last three or four restaurants we ate ate should hand a dozen on every light fixture. There's so many flies you'd think horse manure was #1 on the menu.


Fishing, a man knows a serenity of soul and peace of mind that he finds in doing nothing else, and it makes no difference whether or not he catches anything. The mind of a true fisherman is not on petty subjects.

I picked up one of these a few weeks ago as 2 houses behind me trashcans have no lid on them and it has become a fly mecca

I like them better because they are screw on tops, can be dumped... rinsed and reloaded with bait.

They do. You need to place them about a hundred feet or so away from your house.
