Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sterling NFT-D Disposable Fly Control TrapWith Attractant
Customer Review: Rescued our home from pesky flies
Summary: 5 Stars
For the Rescue Fly Trap to really work, one must first reduce the number of things around your home that the flies may be more attracted to.
Why? Because flies tend to swarm to the same place/s all at once, so you need to make sure your Rescue Fly Trap is the only place they can go. For example, flies seem to prioritize feeding on pet feces before breeding, so you should try to clean up your pet's stool every time they go and to toss it in a tightly sealed, plastic-lined trash can. Second, hang the Rescue Fly Trap in a shaded area where the flies would go regardless of a fly trap, but make sure it's far enough from your home so they're never disturbed. Finally, consider removing any traps you've previously been using, such as those sticky ones often hung from patio awnings; not only do they risk bringing flies into closer proximity of your home, but they serve as direct competition to your Rescue Fly Trap, especially if there's already tons of flies stuck on them... they also look gross!
If you follow the above steps I think you will notice, as I did, that the Rescue Fly Trap actually becomes more and more effective with the more flies it traps and the less places the flies might otherwise want to hang out. After all flies do travel in swarms! Hope this helps.
Customer Review: It really works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I didn't think this trap would work all that much, but I gave it a try because it was the only outdoor trap I could find... Man was I wrong about it not working. I filled it with water and hung it outside and went to sleep. I woke up the next morning and there had to of been about 100-150 flies died inside. So I checked back in the afternoon and my goodness there had to of been about 500 flies all stuck together. So, the second morning after the trap was installed I went back outside again to check, I am not joking when I say I wouldn't be surprised if there were over a couple thousand flies in this bag. I went into the house and I sat and watched the bag for about twenty minutes and I couldn't believe how many flies were coming in from every direction and navigating right into the bag. It was clockwork. My purpose was not to rid my entire Subdivision of flies, but to lower the percentage around the house. I think I'm going to cut the bag after 3 more days before the entire city loses it's fly population. As of right now I'm done counting how many flies are in this bag. It's to the point that it looks disgusting and yes it's starting to smell like fish or something. Overall, its worth it. Just make sure to put the bag 15-20 feet away from the house.Customer Review: Huge fly population reduction!
Summary: 5 Stars
Important: FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! I could see someone just ripping this thing open wondering what the heck to do with it.
This thing works wonders! We had a huge fly population due to a dead cat that had been sitting under a porch deck for who knows how long. After cleaning that up, the flies still lingered. Spraying down the ground where I found the thing helped a bit, but still they came.
Hanging this up over the deck (no string included) helped reclaim that area of the backyard from the flies!
Just lift the cap, hang it, add water to a fill line and let it do its work. The smell is pretty strong... like a rotting fish aroma... you definitely don't want to get that on anything you are wearing.
If you are sensitive to rotting smells, keep this away from any open windows or screen doors. It can be pretty strong at times.
I've had it up for about a week and there are so many flies that have been trapped! VICTORY! Couldn't tell you how much longer you could keep it out though... I'm worried that maybe the bag's seal will break eventually and everything will come splashing down.
Remember to check on it every few days and refill the water to the line!
Customer Review: Incredibly Effective
Summary: 5 Stars
1. The smell is atrocious, the absolute closest you'll want it to where people are is 15 feet, I'd recommend 25. In about two weeks mine has 4 or 5 inches of dead flies in it, with maggots crawling around in there as well. It smells even more awful now with the decaying flies.
2. If you aren't looking to order online, Lowe's stocks them.
3. Make sure you attach the wire or rope you are going to use to hang it before filling it with water.
4. Take care cutting along the dotted line or you will ruin the trap.
5. You will have to refill it occasionally as the water evaporates out.
6. Keep in mind this may end up attracting more flies than you are typically used to. The scent will bring in flies from the neighbors lawns and the like. At first we had it right outside the back door, and the amount of flies in our home tripled. Once we moved it to a tree a good distance out in the backyard things got better.
7. Take great care when disposing of it, I recommend tossing it in a gallon ziploc bag then in another gallon ziploc bag. You don't want to spill this crap.
Customer Review: The one that Works
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this product last Fall on a close out sale at a huge national retailer. It worked perfectly. This year I returned to the same retailer in July and they had sold out of the Rescue Brand Fly Traps and didn't plan on restocking until next year. They talked me into purchasing another brand. Needless to say the other brand didn't work. We live next to a cattle pasture and the flies are outrageous near our home. I hung the "other" brand fly trap on the fence between the pasture and my driveway and a week later there were a few flies in the trap. I ordered the Rescue Brand Fly Trap from Amazon and hung 3 of them on the same fence. 3 days later I had to replace the Rescue Brand TrapsRESCUE! FTD-DT12 Disposable Fly Trap because they were FULL OF FLIES. I will not use another brand trap because I am not a wealthy person and cannot waste money. The Rescue brand Fly is the one that works. Don't waste your time or money with any other brand.
