Victor M380 Fly Magnet 1-Quart Reusable Trap With Bait (3 Pack)

These things are incredible. They catch a ridiculous number of flies. But mine fills up after about 4-5 days so it gets expensive. I’m disappointed by the fact that mine don’t ever really smell that bad. All the other reviewers really hyped up just how ungodly these things smell that I was actually kind of looking forward to experiencing it. The descriptions of the smell were laugh out loud funny. I’ve filled 6 of these things and none have really smelled. I guess i could smell an unpleasant scent from like 2 feet away but it’s nothing like what people described. So that was a let down for me but you’d probably be A-ok with that. But ya, it devastates flies and it’s totally nasty. Hundreds and hundreds of flies, with maggots crawling to the top of the pile to try to escape. The maggots are the worst part. If the water inside this thing ever touched my skin, I’d probably kill myself.

These things work miracles.I constantly had flies in my home and did not now how to get rid of them. I tried different things and just couldn’t get rid of them until I found this!!! I placed around my fruit trees as I assumed I had flies due to my frigid trees and within a week the things were full of flies. They had an exaggerated amounts of flies that I’m sure the traps not only called our flies but the whole neighborhood flies in. No joke perhaps each trap had a couple hundred flies in them. I’m sure we did our neighbors a favor as well and got rid of their fly issue...BUT oh my! Is the smell of the containers so horrible... it smells so bad it literally makes you want to vomit. We couldn’t really add much water to them as it quickly filled with flies so we will have to order new ones.. but honestly even with the smell these things work amazingly. Best product ever!

OK, let me start with these traps work great. I was instantly gratified on how many flies these things caught. Literally I would watched groups of 3 to 5 flies swarm around the trap, and a minute later they were inside, doomed forever. And it never stopped. From sun up to sun down, this thing caught at least 3 to 5 flies a minute. You could tell the newcomers because the flies would got caught, frantically fly all over the place to get out and then get exhausted. Then you would see a new bunch, rinse and repeat. By the end of the first day, each jar had at least 2 or 3 thousand flies.Now comes the next part. As satisfying as it was to watch the demise of these horrible pests, the smell was just awful. It already smelled like something died, but as the jar filled and flies died in the liquid and rotted, my back yard began to smell putrid. By day three, the smell was so bad that my neighbors must of though I was hiding a body. There is no way a sane person would dump that rotting liquid and reuse the jars without puking all over the place. It was a smell only my German shepherd seemed to relish. So I got a plastic trash bag and sealed all three jars in it (wearing gloves of course) and threw them in the garbage can.So on the bright side, I must of eradicated at least 10 thousand flies. In fact I did not see that many flies in my yard, but that could be also because I threw them the traps away. On the downside, you cannot keep these more than 3 days without completely stinking up your yard. My suggestion to people is to use them when you have an outdoor event in your backyard, keep them far away somewhere to attract the flies away and dump them when you are done

The media could not be loaded. A friend recommended the Fly Magnet and I’m glad they did. This thing works like crazy! The day after I hung it up, it had already started catching flies and by the next day had about a one-inch layer caught with more buzzing around inside and outside. Hanging this on the back of our property (don’t get downwind, because this thing stinks!) to draw the flies away from our house is really helping. We can smoke and barbeque on the back porch without being overrun and go in and out the doors without letting flies in.I don’t know if it’s the neighbors with a horse barn or the weather, but the flies have been awful this year. This fly trap is making that problem disappear. Well, not really disappear, because I know where those flies are. I’m taking another reviewer’s advice and I’m buying these in multiples to use as one-use jars. I have no intention of dealing with the dead flies/rotten stuff to reuse this jar. It will be going straight into the dumpster when it’s full. Hopefully the fly population will die down and I won’t need these any more, but until then, I’ll be keeping a Fly Magnet hung at the back of my yard.

This is a tough review to write, because this product works... but we no longer use it.First, the good. These traps attract and kill flies - by the hundreds. You might not think you have that many flies until you put on of these in your yard. We put three out, and they were full in two days. Not "had a few flies in each" full, but rather 1" or more deep layer of dead fly bodies.Now the bad. First, these things smell horrifically bad. I could smell them - strongly - when I was 30' away in my garden. We kept moving them further and further away from the house because of the stench. Second, these traps attract flies too well. They attract flies from all over your yard (good), they attract flies from your neighbors' yards (bad), they attract flies from down the street (extremely bad). In fact, the more flies we would kill, the more showed up in our yard. Ultimately, after a few days of killing thousands of flies, we removed the traps from our backyard and voila! flies disappeared. Maybe if you have a yard over an acre, and could place these traps extremely far away from your home, they might work better. Regardless, we just couldn't use them because of the vast quantities of flies they attracted.
