A:  Yes it can be set on any flat surface.  

A:  Some horse flies will be attracted by it, but not many. But it's very effective for most other kinds of flies.

A:  This works! We had all types of insects in it. Flies,wasps,bees,etc. mostly flies which are attracted to rotting smell.  ,including horse flies. I would use it.I recommend it. When it’s full just wear gloves and throw the whole bottle away. Remember once the jar is activated it has a rotten egg  smell, but it gets the job done!

A:  I am not sure - however, I can tell you there was a fly graveyard in this after a week.

A:  I wouldn't chance it. Reptiles are sensitive and with this trap the flies go into the liquid attractant and die

A:  So far this works as designed it only attracts flys. So the answer is no. They do my traps specifically for yellow jackets.

A:  In my experience no, this trap omits a horrible stench that only attracted flies. I do not believe the yellow jackets or hornets would want any business with the horrible smelling liquid that sits inside the trap.

A:  No. I saw no hornets or yellow jackets. Just lots of flys.

A:  This trap works on flies only. For yellowjackets, look for our Disposable Yellowjacket Trap. It looks very similar to this product, but is labeled for yellowjackets.

A:  I havent noticed any in the bin before this is our second year of using the product.

A:  Yes, it will plus other flying presets.

A:  No

A:  Absolutely not! This is a scent lure/trap, and the scent is not appealing. This works so well, you'd have flies parked all around your house trying to get in. I'd put it at least 15 feet from the area you want to de-fly.

A:  Atrapa moscas suoer rapido

A:  No, our water-based traps are made for outdoor use only. To attract flies, these traps produce a strong smell that you won't want to keep indoors. The lack of airflow inside also makes it harder for flies to find the trap, so you won't have very good results inside either. We recommend using these traps about 20 feet from building entrances to attract flies out of your home and prevent more from entering in the first place.

A:  I used mine inside but I'm not sure I would do that again or use it again for that matter. The smell is horrific.

A:  No, our outdoor fly traps will not work on fruit flies

A:  Hi MPadilla. Thank you for your question. No, I do not think this fly trap will be effective for fruit flies. Fruit flies are attracted to a different type of scent. Fruit flies are attracted to the scent from ripening fruits and vegetables. The common fly is attracted to decaying organic material. To get rid of fruit flies, you will need to set “Fruit Fly Traps”: https://www.homedepot.com/s/fruit%2520fly%2520trap?NCNI-5 A simple way to rid yourself of fruit flies is to “Keep Your Sink Clean” as well as not leaving fruit setting out on the table to attract them as the fruit ripens. Setting the fruit fly traps will also help, but you need to remove what attracts them. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. Rich_HD_OC

A:  Not that I'm aware

A:  Our Reusable Fly Trap will not attract mosquitos

A:  Have used it for about 2 weeks and only have flies a ton of them

A:  I check mine daily and have not seen any mosquitos. Only flys.

A:  I have not noticed it attracting any mosquitos. Unfortunately.

A:  You need to contact Rescue for that answer.

A:  We have lots of pets and have not had any try to get into the jar.

A:  Yes the smell is strong if it's in a closed of area but outside is fine. I keep mine under my deck where the garbage is. I hung mine up only one can get to it is me or the flys

A:  Yes it is

A:  The attractants in this trap are non-toxic, but you should still keep it out of reach of animals. The contents contain yeast, and if ingested, can cause some gastrointestinal discomfort. Flies also carry bacteria, and if an animal consumes them, it can add to the symptoms.

A:  It is pet friendly to my knowledge as long as the animals aren’t knocking it over. The smell isn’t attractive to animals at all.

A:  I think it’s fine as long as you keep it out of their reach!

A:  Can not answer with100% surety but very sure no bad chemicals inside trap that could do harm. Liquid is for attraction of flies only. Once inside they die because they can not get out and eventually drown . Some sort of bad egg smell. Would suggest that trap be placed where any animal attracted to smell cannot get to it and tip it over. Drinking liquid might make an animal sick.

A:  It's safe for pets if used as directed. Mike

A:  Yea it smells dead fish

A:  Due to the smell and the number of flies these traps attract, we recommend hanging them at least 20 feet away from building entrances, windows, and areas with human activity. Hanging the trap away from your BBQ will also help keep flies away from places where you want to be! If you have any further questions, please contact RESCUE! at info@rescue.com.

A:  It smells awful. I loved ours away and had no issues at all. That thing is so powerful. It is still collecting flies and I’m 8 days in. I haven’t had any fly issues since! You could keep near food but it did take mine 24 hours to work. It just smells like old garbage or dead animals. Idk it smells but works incredible

A:  Place them out few days ahead and your BBQ should be without the winged vermin.

A:  I had this hanging in my chicken coop. the flying flies were attracted to it, but the flies on the ground ignored it. vey ineffective for my use

A:  First of all, this trap really works. But, the smell can become pretty potent. I found that using a couple of them placed about 25 feet away (in two different directions) from the food area really helped big time to draw the flies away from us.

A:  I wouldn't have this around a BBQ! This thing draws the Flys to it. What ever this bait is,it works!

A:  Really unknown. Some will go to trap, others not. And all flies drawn to trap do not immediately go into trap and are caught. Bottom line, this will not stop flies from trying to land on BBQ food but may help some..

A:  You wouldn’t want to set this anywhere close to where you eat. It has a very strong odor that is not pleasant. But the traps work very well! I think it’s more for long term reductions of flies in an area more than a trap to keep fly away from a meal.

A:  I've bought two of these and placed them on my patio on a small table (2 ft high) and the flies didn't have a problem finding it, all were killed. Excellent product!

A:  It noticeablely reduced the fly problems on the covered patio. It does smell pretty bad so it should be hung downwind from your party.

A:  Just pour the solution in a toilet and rinse the container out. It’s reusable

A:  I threw the whole thing away as I did not think it was worth the investment or the cost of the refills

A:  I pour the entire contents onto the burn pile, clean, reuse.

A:  No, you just pour it out and dispose how you want. You can buy the refills for the container when you want to use it again. they sell them in store and online. When you buy this container it will come with one pouch. you put the pouch in the container, then fill with water to the fill line, the pouch will dissolve. ours filled with flies in about a week and we just poured out and threw them away. then did it again with the refill. you can rinse out the container.

A:  For the Reusable Fly Trap, there are a few ways that you can dispose of the contents. The most straightforward way would be to flush it down the toilet. If you don’t want to bring the trap inside, you can also pour the contents into a sealable container like a ziplock bag and throw that away instead. If you choose to do this, it's usually a good idea to wait until right before your trash is picked up so you don’t have dead flies in your garbage can for very long. If you have any further questions, please contact RESCUE! at info@rescue.com.

A:  No. Simply unscrew the lid and pour the dead flies and liquid away outside down a drain then wash out the plastic jar. Buy replacement bags of the attractant and start all over again. No need to throw away the unit if it isn't cracked or unusable.

A:  Yes. The whole thing was wrapped up and thrown away. We even took our garbage can out to the curb early because it smelled so bad.

A:  I just tie it up in a couple of plastic grocery bags and put it in the trash.

A:  Open the container, dispose of the dead flies and refill with new attractant.
