stinks, and doesn't workAugust 16, 2008 This product stinks like something dead and rotting. It stinks as far as function, also. After a full week in use, there are no flies in it at all. If you try to use this indoors (although it clearly states on the package that it is for outdoor use) It will make the whole room stink too.
Big dissapointment.... does not measure up to the disposable oneAugust 4, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

DO NOT BUY THIS!April 29, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product smells like a dead carcass. It LITERALLY MADE ME THROW UP when I put mixed the solution in the trap. The description is deceptive. There is no way this could EVER be used inside, let alone outside.
STINKY! Horrible SmellMarch 28, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The thing stunk so bad after putting the water in it, my wife made me throw it away. There was no where in the yard it could have gone without us smelling it.
