Zero In Outdoor Fly Trap - Ready-Baited Outdoor Fly Catcher, Twin Pack - Non-Toxic, Insect Trap to Attract & Trap Bugs - Suitable for Garden & Outdoor Use, Lasts up to 2-3 Weeks

I got these fly traps because we were having a few too many flies buzzing around the garden, especially when we were trying to have a barbecue. They came as a multipack, which was useful, and they looked like little plastic pouches. They're ready-baited, so the setup was incredibly simple. You just add some water up to the line, give it a quick shake, and then hang it somewhere outdoors, away from where you're sitting.Once it's set up, it doesn't take long to start seeing results. The traps do exactly what they promise to do: they attract flies and trap them. It's actually quite effective at drawing them away from the seating area. After a day or two, you can see that they've caught quite a lot of flies, which is a good sign that they're working. The fact that they're non-toxic is also a big bonus.The best thing about them is how well they work to reduce the fly problem in the immediate area. They last for a couple of weeks, so you're sorted for a while once you put them up. They're a brilliant, easy solution for a common summer issue.The main thing to know, and this is important, is that they have a strong smell. It's part of what attracts the flies, but it's not a pleasant smell at all. You definitely wouldn't want to hang one right next to where you're eating. You have to place it a little way off, maybe at the end of the garden, so it can do its job without bothering you.Overall, I'd say they're a great product for what they are. They're not pretty and they do smell, but they are incredibly effective. They'd be perfect for anyone who wants to get rid of flies in an outdoor space without using chemicals.

We live next to a dairy farm, flies are a problem because we are surrounded by erm.... large flat brown cylinders of processed grass. We had a bit of an Ooni pizza night two Friday evenings ago on the patio outside the kitchen, opened both sets of bi-fold doors, family round, great night. The following morning and the rest of the weekend, there must have been 50 flies buzzing round the kitchen, with little black dots of fly poo everywhere, so we have declared war on the flies.Three pronged attack: UV bug zapper (£50), Zero In Fly Traps (£11 for 2) and old fashioned sticky fly paper s (£12 for 40).The zapper works, it makes a sound like a gunshot when flies explode on the grid, which is very, very satisfying. But it only catches maybe 3 or 4 per day, no matter where we 've located it so far.The sticky fly paper cassettes work, but they do look horrible and we're limited where we can put them without them being in the way. I am still damaged from an incident years ago when I got a quite full one stuck in my hair in the garage.But the Zero In traps: Oh my good lord. Unbelievable, Jeff. In less than a week, both traps, placed about 5 metres from the kitchen in full sunlight, have caught hundreds, maybe thousands of flies each. And wasps, but no obvious bees, so that's all extra positive. I'm convinced that there are less flies queuing up on the bi-folds as a result. Yes, we'll need a full Friday night back-to-back comparison to be sure, but five days in, the Zero In traps have been incredibly effective, way better than expectation and excellent value compared to everything else. Recommended without reservation.EXCEPT... update 2 months later... I bought a second pair of traps, which have turned up and they've changed the design so you can no longer remove the lid. It's gone from being a simple screw-on to a permanently attached thing that you can't remove. There's a bag of bait in there that I can't get to in order to open, and won't be able to empty the revolting fly soup once it's done its work.Further update... The bag of bait is in a soluble packet, so I added water and put it out right next to the old screw top model with a packet of the bait still available via refill. See attached photo for result... after a few hours the old style is successfully doing its thing, but the new style has attracted not a single fly! So apparently they've also updated the recipe, to one that no longer works.I'm going to leave this in the 5 star review section so people who only look at positive reviews will read it, but it's no longer a 5 star re-usable trap, it's a 1 star useless jar of inert liquid. A plastic jar that costs maybe 10p to manufacture on sale for ten quid.Unusable. Heroes to zeroes. How could you have taken such an excellent product and got this so wrong??

It Works! It catches 99% of house/garden flies in 2-3 weeks. The regent in water generates an irresistible smell to flies and attracts them to fly into the bottle. Once they get into the trap, it is hard for the flies to get out (1% smart enough do walk out, but utterly terrified). Work well on warm sunny days, and as far as the smell goes. Can't believe how many flies were around my house and garden, until you see the disgusting things the trap has caught.

The media could not be loaded. After having one of these up for a little over a week, I think they work a little TOO well!My house backs onto a field full of Sheep, so naturally this comes up with flies and the occasional gang of wasps. After one particular BBQ where I was HOUNDED by flies that left me looking like a kid in an Oxfam advert, I snapped and bought the 2 pack. Which was great value for money over buying singles.Each fly death unit is about the size of a pint glass and comes with a little length of wire to hang it wherever you fancy. You fill the pot up to about half way and pour in an “attractant”, then apply the one way lid and bobs your uncle. I chose to hang it on the side of a shed and put a screw in place to wrap the wire around.The first day I checked it after work, I was over the moon to see I had trapped about 5 wasps, I got a cup of tea and sat and watched them drown like a psychopath. NOTHING could prepare me for what was about to happen, flies swarmed in and were just kamakaze’ing themselves into the pot to die, hundreds of them. The speed at which it started to work was mental, I think once a few go in and die they attract even more. The stench was unbearable after a few days and I had to throw it out holding my nose.Pros:It works, you can kill wasps.Cons:It STINKS after a couple of days. Does it actually just kill flies that would be in my garden anyway? Or does it attract more in and kill them? Perhaps a bit of both.Conclusion, I’ve reloaded and put another fly death camp up to do it all over again as I didn’t want to waste it. I wouldn’t buy it again, I’d get an electric tennis racket thing to fry them while practicing some sweet forehands.
