Within minutes it was already trapping: edit down to 2 stars a week later
As soon as I got them in I put one out on my deck and within 10 minutes it already had one fly in it. 4 hours later and there are about 20 in there. For some reason my backyard deck area had many flys buzzing around day and night. I needed something so figured I would try it out. Being that a majority of them fly close to the table I hung it up on the back of one of the deck chairs and dropped the back vision down. It started to work immediately attracting them. The fly count nearly doubled around me. But just a couple hours later, there's only a few flys around. I'm outside so not expecting 100% capture rate. I also hung one of those cheap hanging stick traps right next to it for the stubborn flys that wouldn't go in the trap and it caught a few of them as well. Going to leave it low on the chair for tonight then move it a little higher on the tiki hut for fly maintenance. Very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone with a fly problem. Fyi, it kind of stinks so not sure I would use this indoors long term. EDIT: Changed to 2 stars. As stated above, it does catch flies, it does have a stench to it, but it gets worse after a couple of days. Here is additional information. As stated, I moved the bags away from the deck area, roughly 20 feet for one and the second about 50 feet. That same day, those bags were filled with flies flying around inside the bag and flies flying around the outside of the bag. Within 2 days, there were maggots forming in them and there were alot. The maggots actually ate through the bag small holes and the water mixture dripped to the ground. This attracted more flies, near the ground and not the trap. The stench from these things when downwind was worse than roadkill sitting out for days being hit by the sun. The flies in the area intensified greatly because the trap was not only catching them, but attracting them but there was so many the trap can only do so much. This product is good for maybe 4-5 days before you have to get rid of it. I bought a couple more instantly from my first impression of them but think I am not going to put them up. I don't think that I would recommend this for any home or barn use. I think this product would be better suited for short term relief like in camping situation. If your camp area has flies, like most public camp grounds, putting one of these up 20-30 feet away from your camp for the weekend or week, might reduce the nuisance.
