Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Almost five years ago I moved into my new home, which happens to sit in a horse zoned area, in fact I happen to be right across the street from a horse ranch that trains cut horses, so they not only board several horses at any given time but they usually have some twenty to twenty-five cattle as well.
The week we moved into our new home we had so many flies in the house that I went to various windows throughout the house, where they seemed to congregate and vacuumed them into my built in vacuum cleaner. This worked pretty good but obviously I couldn't walk around all the time with a vacuum cleaner. I needed something effective but passive.
The answer was the Rescue Fly Control Trap. The first year I hung three of these babies in trees, two in front and one in back. I liken this fly trap to the Pied Piper but where the Pied Piper lured hundreds of rats to their end in a watery grave with music, these little gems lure tens of thousands of houseflies to their demise in a watery grave by smell.
Smell, that is the one downside of the Rescue Fly Control Trap. It attracts the little nuisances by emitting a distasteful, if not malodorous aroma resembling animal waste and that is why these units should be utilized only outside, however that is not as bad as it sounds. The odor is really only noticeable in a three to five foot radius so if they are strategically located they will not offend anyone.
For what it is, the Rescue Fly Control Trap is overpriced but it so effective it is a bargain. The first year I started using these traps, they would fill up in six weeks to two months. I would guess that each trap would hold about five to ten thousand flies, maybe more. I would say that they are needed only about six months a year but I leave mine up all year and just don't hydrate them during the winter and summer, when Houseflies seem not to be active.
The trap consists of a yellow plastic housing containing an upside down lattice style cone, entirely enclosed in plastic. Inside the plastic container is also the material that when hydrated gives off the magnetic pungent bouquet that brings flies in droves. The trap is enclosed and self contained until you want to activate it, which is done by taking a razor blade or sharp knife and cutting the plastic around the round top. Once the plastic is severed from the top, the top slides out providing an opening in which water can be added. Once you have added water you are ready to start trapping flies. The flies enter the trap though the same opening that you added water, travel down the inverted cone to an opening near the bottom. They make the trip down easy enough but cannot figure out how to go back out. They are TRAPPED!
Simply take your activated fly trap outside and hang it in an area remote enough to not be offensive. It can be hung with string or long wire ties. I use bailing wire. The trap will need to be watered periodically to make up for evaporation, so hang it where it is easy to reach. Flies don't like the sun unless it's cold outside, therefore from my experience, traps in light shade (in a tree) are most effective.
So how have these fly traps been working out for me? They seem to be working out extremely well. Each successive year I have been able to reduce my use of these traps as well as my fly swatters for the ones that manage to avoid the traps. I hope it's not a fluke but this year I put only one trap out so far and though it's full I still haven't replaced it. It is summer right now, where in Arizona it's so hot the flies seem to disappear until milder weather returns. Perhaps they do as many other Phoenicians do and head for the cooler mountains. In any event they will be back in September/October so I will put a new trap out. That will make two this year, down from nine the first year.
