Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rescue FTA-SF4 Reuseable Fly Trap with Attractant
Customer Review: If only I could think of a use for a pint of dead flies
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a small flock of chickens in an urban backyard and they attract a lot of flies. Since I hate flies and was also concerned about annoying my neighbors, I set this trap up near the chicken coop. I had the same problem as several other reviewers at first, where the flies would go in and then come out again. A little research revealed the problem. The powder has to dissolve well in the water and this does not happen if you use cold water. The instructions on the trap do not specify warm water, but the Rescue website does. I solved the problem by shaking the trap gently a few times during the first couple days and putting it in the sun. As soon as the powder really dissolved, the flies stayed trapped. I was surprised how well it worked and the flies seem to prefer it to the coop. If I had a big enough trap, I think it would catch every fly in the neighborhood!
Emptying the trap was unpleasant, as expected, but I like that it's reusable. The trap does not have to be rinsed, just emptied. A few dead flies in the refilled trap don't hurt anything. Luckily, flies aren't smart enough to be afraid when they see another fly has died in there.
Customer Review: Trap almost full after three days
Summary: 5 Stars
This trap has served its intended purpose. I am in Miami, Florida and we have a problem with houseflies in my area. After 3 days this trap is almost full!! Each day it seems to attract more, especially the young ones, killing them before they have a change to reproduce. No the stuff inside doesn't smell great, but it's tolerable unless you have a weak stomach when it comes to smells. Well worth it to be rid of the flies! Just keep it downwind and you'll be fine. I'm not sure why someone would try to use this inside when it clearly says for outdoor use and I didn't try hanging it so cannot comment on the strength of the lid.Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
Did not buy this at amazon. bought at home depot, but will buy again here. Yes, it stinks. But it works like a charm. Don't understand other reviews that are negative. This thing caught, I don't know, maybe fifty flies it's first day out. The smell, to me, smells like bone meal which is a plant fertilizer. Anyway, flies seem to love it. They crawl inside the little holes and drown in the water. Ignore the negative reviews. Buy two or three.Customer Review: Works great - no poisons
Summary: 5 Stars
Flies are super common in the Fall where we live. While poison-based solutions work great, the Reusable Fly Trap is the only no poison trap that keeps the fly population at bay. It works simply: flies are drawn to the attractant inside the trap. They can get in, but not out and they eventually die there. Yes, you have to rinse it out every week our two. And you'll occasionally need a refill for the attractant.Customer Review: NOT reuseable! But works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This fly trap is so odorus that it cannot be opened and reused! DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO REUSE IT! Very disgusting smell that you cannot rinse off. We keep ours in the shade on the patio ALL Summer, and it works for the whole season. Then just dispose of it carefully - (we wear latex gloves.) A great value for the money. Recommended.
