Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rescue FTA-SF4 Reuseable Fly Trap with AttractantCustomer Review: The best fly trap we've ever used! Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike some reviewers we've had tremendous success with these traps. We did eventually upgrade to their much larger "Pop Bottle" size since these smaller versions fill to capacity too quickly. Yes, they do stink, an acceptable condition since that's what attracts the flies -- just don't hang them downwind or where where they'll be objectionable. Also, follow the directions, such as placing them where flies are already concentrated, and exposing in direct sunlight; they're also designed to catch houseflies, not stable or other types of flies. Thousands of flies enter, and very few if any depart!
With a trap located to the far end of both our front and back decks we virtually eradicated this year's unusually large fly population around our remotely located country home in about a month, probably totalling 2 or 3 pounds of insects! Since they hang in the sun, the water content needs to be monitored and brought up to the correct level once a week or so. They're easily emptied and flushed, infinitely less problematic than the so-called "re-usable" bag type traps put out by the same company. It takes several days for the dissolving bait to become effective, and we just let the flies pile up in the trap until the bottle's about half full of insects and maggots before dumping out in the woods.
Our only "problem", one that exists with any of the scent-baited traps, is that the admittedly strong odor sometimes invites bears to tear them down, which can make for an especially disgusting clean-up if not hung with forethought (NOT over your BBQ, or brickwork, or potted plants, up against a house wall, etc.)! They could be hung higher, out of a bear's reach, but that would also place them away from the level at which the flies tend to hover, and make servicing the traps more difficult.
