RESCUE! POP! Fly Trap – Large Reusable Fly Trap for Outdoor Use

It attracts fly's because the bait stinks. I'm happy with the product. It what it's designed to do. Attract and catch fly's. I especially like that the container is a one time purchase. The bait packets are refills. This makes this a very economical way to somewhat control the pesky fly's that are so bothersome. One thing you must do is after you have added water to the fill mark of the container, open the package and place the bag in the water. Place the container far enough away so you don't smell the odor, but close enough to be attracted and caught. I've used Rescue Pop fly bait for a couple of years now and have had no regrets. When it's time (a few days or week or so) I empty the nasty water and dead fly's. Make sure to wear throw away gloves, and start over. I have tried similar type products, but keep coming back to the Rescue Pop brand. It consistently works better.

So, I was hesitant to buy this because I wasn’t really looking for an outdoor fly solution, our flies were inside the house and the infestation was significant. However, I bought this because I reasoned “well, if it’s just the smell, maybe it will still work?” We did open it and let it ripen inside where the flies congregated. It did well and caught many. However, when the smell was pervading the house, I decided to put it outside the window of where the were congregating. Omg, when I say the flies were 100% gone that night, it is not a lie. We currently have almost 2” of fly carcasses in the container. So, my advice is if you’re having issues with flies inside, find a spot just outside and open the window. They are drawn to it like a magnet. It was crazy! The product is also a decent size and I love that it’s refillable. I’m even contemplating getting the refills and just making my own container if I need more than one

I Mark II 5 stars because it is smelly. It's supposed to be smelly, and if you actually read the instructions it says it's for outdoor use only. That being said, while it was "ripening" I kept it inside since we had a few flies inside. I obviously have a fly issue outside, or I wouldn't have flies inside. As I was letting it ripen inside, it is drawing all the flies into the area where I have it fermenting. I guess fermenting is the right word, it definitely smells like nasty bread.I got it setting open in the house per the directions for a little bit under an hour, and we have about five flies in there already. Does it stink? To high heaven. But flies like smelly things. almost all of the flies in the entire house are now in the jar, and I'll be moving it outside just shortly.If it works as well as this company's sticky trap that is blue and green and white, we won't have any flies in the entire neighborhood in a few hours.the one thing I have noticed is my dogs are prone to want to mess with it. So make sure if you're going to utilize this particular item that you put it up well away from pets in the yard.it says it's non-toxic, etc, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't make even a dog vomit if it ate it. It has a pretty strong smell to it.It's super easy to use, though. You open up the one little packet and inside of the one packet is another. You pop the inner packet into the jar and fill it with warm water up to the fill line, you open up the top where the cone is, and you're in business. It is definitely not hard.it is not immediately ready, though. It says on the box that it takes two to five hours for all of the ingredients to activate. And I am noticing a much stronger smell even after just an hour. I did notice that I had better results using warm water than cool water, so I would make that recommendation. I don't think you'd want hot water, as it seems to be some kind of fermentation process. You could technically kill off the yeast or whatever is in there by using water that was too hot.

This definitely works. I believe it works best outdoor and not indoor. However, after a couple of minutes, it stinks. It literally stinks like a septic tank. It smells like sewer and that is even without any flies inside so you can’t have it outdoors when you have guest or even dwelling outside yourself. You can keep it outside when there’s nobody going outside to trap the flies like I said it definitely works, but it smells really, really, really bad That’s the only reason for me giving it four stars and not five star one star took away because of the smell but definitely works

But it smells. Don’t use in your home and put as far away as possible. I left mine next to the garage. Flys loved it and I am glad they did. Had so many it was unbelievable. Could barely enjoy my yard. And the great part is you can reuse it.

I moved into a house that had a completely overgrown (but small) yard that attracted A LOT of flies. This was a problem, as I like to keep my backdoor open for my dogs to come in and go out as they please. I purchased one trap and hung in the corner of the yard. I didn’t notice the smell too much the first day or two, but after a few very hot days the smell was HORRID. Imagine a bag of trash filled with week old rotting meat left in the sun. However, the trap was filling up fast and always swarming with flies. I left it up for about a week. At that time it was still attracting flies but was pretty full and I couldn’t deal with the smell anymore. It’s been about a month since I took it down and I’m happy to say that the flies haven’t come back! Of course, there are still some flies here and there. But nothing like before. I can leave my door open without worrying about more than one occasional fly coming into the house. I can walk into my backyard without having to swat away bugs. Even when I go out to scoop the yard where the dogs go potty, I only see a few.I definitely recommend this product and will use again in the future if needed. I’d also recommend, if possible, placing this far away from outdoor areas that you use. Otherwise expect to not frequent the area until you’re ready to take it down.
