    It catches flies
    Yes it stinks. But what are flies attached to? Decaying organic matter. Don't place near anywhere you don't want to smell death. It works amazing! I am going to buy a couple more.

      i live in l.a. and although we are not swarmed with flies, even one or two is annoying. we have an outdoor seating area and there were enough occasional flies that we looked into a way to demolish them. ; - ) tried this because it was refillable and thought as we go into summer and need something for many months, this could be good and a longer-lasting solution. so we just used it for 6 weeks, then opened it up to empty and clean it out and replace the attractant. i was sort of curious how may flies were in there though tbh i didn't really want to look. but i would rather know that this is working than not. the initial amount of liquid we put in, had evaporated quite a bit by the time it tells you to empty the jar and refill it. (it says to refill it every 4 weeks but hey i couldn't find my refill till now!) the picture with brown murky liquid shows the amount of liquid and flies on first opening. next few pics show a little more clearly how many flies. i would say maybe 100? over a 6 week period. that works out to about 2-3 flies going in per day. not a huge amount on a daily basis. but-- i'd rather have these hundred of so flies out of the air buzzing around me, then in the air...! so, certainly better to see this does something than nothing. i just refilled the jar / trap with attractant and water again... and i will continue to do so for the summer months. it's not too expensive, and if it catches another hundred flies / refilll it's worth it to me. one note -- this stinks like a dead animal. (why can't flies be attracted to a nice scent, like lavender-infused-begonias or apple pie and vanilla or something?!) for a while we thought something had died around our deck. only to realize a few days later it was this. we put it on the edge of the roof... with the theory that flies would go to that before swooping down further below to bother us!. well we moved it a little farther away, along the edge of the roof, so we didn't smell it so much! anyway- flies certainly go in to this. not a bad trap if you ask me. inexpensive price point, and re-fillable to be more useful and give you better bang for your buck! i bought a few and would buy them again. ; - )

        This product works - but too well
        I'm torn on how to rate this product. First of all. It works. I really attracts flies. But.... it attracts hundreds and as the trap fills up (within a week) if begins to smell really really bad (full of d e a d, d e c a y i n g flies) and attracts even more. No way in you are going to reuse this. I tried disposing of it in a plastic bag in my garbage can but my can was swarmed by flies. I ended up finding a plastic container with a lid and put the entire trap inside that and then threw it away. One reviewer on amazon said he buried the contents but trust me you don't want this any where near your yard. I made the mistake of putting up 3 and had to dispose of them all the same way. Now I need to figure out how to get rid of the hundreds of flies that are now hanging out in my yard.

        Doesn't work so well
        I purchased this product last weekend for an outdoor party my parents were throwing and i wanted to put up a few fly traps so the fly problem doesn't get overwhelming. I purchased this one in a plastic container and another type in a plastic bag form so i can test both of them. This one failed pretty bad not many flies got in there at all, while the other one is almost full of disgusting flies. Oh another thing ... i would never reuse a fly trap so i wouldn't purchase this item again.

          It does attract the flies and they are contained in the container but the odor is awful

          Awesome
          This product was awesome. Cleaned up flies in just a couple of days. The biggest problem is that the container was so full of dead flies I didn't want to buy a refill, I just wanted to toss it out and get a new one. Highest recommendation!!!

            Never used anything close!
            In two days 1 of these caught off 500 flies!! At this point I'm going to buy enough to eradicate every fly in the city.

              This thing works great. You will have hundreds of dead flies super fast. But be aware it does smell pretty awful

              We used this product last spring and summer and were surprised how great it worked out for our patio. Now we can be outdoors comfortably.
