Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rescue FTA-SF4 Reuseable Fly Trap with Attractant
Customer Review: Big dissapointment.... does not measure up to the disposable one
Summary: 2 Stars
First, I have no issues with the smell because I honestly can't smell it unless my nose is right up on it.
Secondly, this product does not work well. I don't know if it's the design or what, but after a day, it caught exactly 1 fly. It's been a week and there's only about 10.
My first fly trap was Rescue's disposable fly trap and it worked fantastic. After a month or so, it was full of those pesky disease carrying flies, not to mention all their children, the maggots. There must've been thousands of them when it finally got full and had to go in the trash. I loved it.
I went with this reusuable model because I was basically lazy. Since Amazon doesn't carry the disposable one, I bought this because I'd get it faster with Amazon Prime. I wish they would carry the disposable model because it works far better than this one.
Another gripe I have is that after I unscrewed the bottle to check how many flies it caught, I screwed it back on, only to have it FALL off and spill the flies and bait on the ground. I thought I had screwed the top on tightly but it's so poorly designed that it does not fix tightly. So basically the thing is useless now without the bait water.
Doesn't matter anyways, because the flies would fly past it and enter my home instead. Since I got this because the front door has to remain open, the home was crawling with 100s of flies. I ended up having to swat them myself and woke up the next day with a sore arm.
So as you can tell I do not recommend this product at all. Buy the disposable one and you'll be much much happier and have less flies to swat.
Customer Review: Not so good.

I have used the rescue brad fly traps and they work well. Because of this I tryed the reuseable trap. I place this trap in the same place I have used the other traps and I had far, far, far less flys in the trap at the end of the week. I went back to the old style and started to catch alot of flys again. In short dont use the reuseable traps if you want to catch alot of flys.Customer Review: Not as effective as had hoped... and it REEKS!!!!!

We leave a bowl of food out for our outdoor cats, and it attracts a LOT of flies... this fly trap has helped somewhat, but the results are minimal. The odor from the trap is absolutely horrific and unbearable. If you don't have a bowl of pet food sitting outside, perhaps this trap will work for you (and definitely place it where you won't smell it!).Customer Review: not for fruit flies and *definitely* not for indoor use
Summary: 1 Stars
This was listed as working for fruit flies in addition to regular flies. After a week in my apartment I noticed no difference in the number of fruit flies (and none were visible inside it) so I am going to declare it not to work for fruit flies at all. It may work for normal, big flies, but not for fruit flies.
The bigger issue is that it smells INSANELY bad. Like, it's hard to believe how bad it smells. It nearly triggered my gag reflex both filling it and emptying it. During normal, sitting still usage, it still smells awful. You'd come in the apartment and smell it immediately, even after a few days of it sitting still.
Definitely avoid this for indoor use, and don't get you hopes up about it catching fruit flies.
Customer Review: Horrible product
Summary: 1 Stars
i bought this for my home. First of all it STINKs really bad. i dont even know how to describe it without making people upset. out of the entire time ive had it which is almost a month. it has only caught one fly and ive seen several go in and go out. maybe my flys just aren't big enough... well anyways.
i thought that since its reusable that it would save me money in the long run.. now i feel like i should have bought the other plastic bag like fly trap that does the same thing.
im going to keep it maybe ill come across some huge flys that cant get out of this thing.. at least they stay by that and not in other places where i didnt want them.
bottom line. buy the disposable one. it works better.
