CatchmasterPro Series Fly Bag 2-Pack, Hanging Fly Trap Outdoor Home, Bug Catcher and Flying Insect Trap with Premium Bait, Pet Safe Pest Control, XL Bag for Backyard, Pool, Patio & Camping

These bags are amazing. Of course they smell, it’s dead flies. That’s why the instructions say to place it 30 feet from your home. Don’t worry, the flies will find it. We have 4 dogs so there is a lot of poop in the yard that attracts flies (even though we clean it up regularly), the bags help capture those flies. I just used my last bag and I’m ordering more.

Who would have thought that Oklahoma was such a breeding ground for flies? Flies everywhere!! I bought another brand of these last summer and they did an excellent job but they did stink up the whole backyard. Tried these and they are just as effective without the smell. And I've got 3 hanging right next to our patio!! These things are still attracting flies after 2 weeks!! And they are full of both dead and soon-to-be-dead flies. The only complaint I have is that the twist ties they give you to hang them with are rather weak, but using your own twine is an easy answer. If one hits the ground and a little liquid spills out, then it smells a bit. But otherwise, it is certainly not offensive. Only the flies can really smell the attractant and that's what you want!! And they are easy to cleaning up with the "screw top."

We live in a desert around our farm and had a terrible fly problem. These have seemed to keep the flies away for the most part and I was surprised at how many it caught in such a short time. It caught so many that there began to grow maggots and I will tell you….it is the top 3 worst smells I have ever had to smell in my whole life. After the dead flies marinate in the ick if the other dead flies, the odor is so terrible, you can’t put it anywhere close to anything that has a nose. I’m trying to figure out how to dispose of it without throwing up.I’ve had then less than 2 weeks and the smell is unbearable. I won’t be able to keep up buying so frequently. A bit expensive when you think of it that way but like I said, it is effective at trapping the things.

The amount of insects trapped was disappointing. Not very effective.

I was a little skeptically about these, but wow, they really work. I filled the bag with water as directed and hung it on a pole near the area I was seeing a lot of flies and wasps. I went out to check on it after about an hour and couldn't believe how many flies and wasps had already gone into the bag. Definitely worth the money. Glad I made the purchase.

The catch master fly bag definitely attracts plenty of flies and traps them as advertised. I started to wonder if all the flies that were being trapped were predominantly around my property or was I inviting flies from all the areas into the bags. The one downside that I have noticed is the odor that the bags give off. I’m not sure whether it’s just the bait, or a combination of the bait, and the smell given off by the dead flies. All in all, I am pleased with the product thus far.

These traps are unbelievably effective, capturing a staggering number of flies quickly. The twist-shut lid is a smart feature for controlling the bait's exposure. However, be warned: the scent is extremely potent. While this makes it so effective, it's also not for the faint of heart. Hang these away from high-traffic areas to avoid overwhelming your outdoor spaces. Despite the strong odor, the sheer number of flies it eliminates makes it a valuable tool for pest control. Just use strategically!

They didn’t fill up like advertised. It had a few but seemed to clear up the fly problem.
