The traps are ugly and stink, but they are the only ones that work REALLY well. I tried other brands and barely caught anything while having a bad fly problem. After a couple of weeks or less these traps are full and ready to be thrown out. When hanging in a sunny area, you may need to add extra water from time to time to prevent drying out.

These are the best of any of the fly bags we have tried. Since they attract flies with a very bad smell, be sure to hang them away from your barn or house. Because of the smell be careful not to spill any of the liquid when you discard a full trap. We have found they work best in the shade so we hang ours in trees in the pasture.

We find the best results is to hang them around the perimeter of the barn so the flys are tempted out of the barn. We use all the corners. Yes they stink, but the flies love them and there are no noxious pesticides to harm the environment or anyone's lungs.

Had a terrible fly problem last year. Nothing worked except these bags. Caught tens of thousands of flies over the Summer. Am buying again for this season. They do stink, but they work.

This is best fly trap/bag I've used. The smell isn't that bad until gets full, but thats the point it's FULL of flys. Mine angs outside by the loafing shed and keeps the flys off the horses.

Purchased a few bags in early summer and they really attract and capture flies. In fact, this is our 3rd order for the bags!
It takes about 2 weeks to get them "ripe" where the flies will be attracted to them, so we start one just about 2 weeks before the previous one is tossed. They do get pretty gross, so we use a plastic store bag and carefully come under the hanging fly bag and then detach the fly bag and tie the garbage bag it up tight!
We put them in the barn first and they were slow to attract flies, so we moved them to the manure pile and were amazing at how they have reduced the flies in the barn and the pastures.
We did have one break in the barn (darn raccoon) and they DO stink, so make sure you put it in a place that is out of the reach of critters and if it did break, we used kitty litter to help absorb the odor.

I have been using these for years and I can't talk them up enough. Of course the first year I hung one in my house.... Don't do that :) I ordered my second batch this year and hung them out today. They do smell a little over time but once you see how many flies you'll no longer have, it's worth it!
