Question 1

How should I dispose of the dead flies

Accepted Answer

I have used for 3 or 4 years. I dig a deep hole, hold my breath, take the lid off and quickly dump the contents, which are a lot of dead flies, out in the hole then cover up and pat down the soil. Believe me, if it didn't work so well catching flies, I wouldn't do it. Nasty. I won't reuse it again. The disposable ones look smaller to me. I like the fact that I can tie it up on a limb under a bushy tree at the back of my yard and don't touch it again until summer's over and the flies have pretty much quit. I've read the reviews and the biggest problem I've seen is that people don't know how to use them.  Put it away, far away, maybe 50-75 ft from your house. It will draw flies and you don't want to draw them TO your house, you want to draw them away from your house.  The bait stinks to high heaven and I assure you, you don't want it to be anywhere near your house when you have a breeze blowing your way.   One lady even said she hung two of them in her house.  One in the bathroom and one in the living room or kitchen, can't remember.  That must have been a joke because I find that impossible.  No one could live with that stink day in and day out.  It is supposed to catch the flies before they get into your house, not the flies already in your house. Got to use an old fashion fly swatter for that.

Question 2

Is this good for deer flies?

Accepted Answer

Probably not. I assume they feed on blood. This uses rotten eggs. Plus the holes aren't too big.

Question 3

Is this safe to use indoors?

Accepted Answer

Oh don't do it! Smells disguting.

Question 4

How do I clean up an accidental spill of this product? One spill is in grass, the other, concrete patio.?

Accepted Answer

Use a narrow spray hose nozzle to help dissipate the attractant.  Flies will continue to be attracted the spill locations for at least a week.  Maybe dump your car wash soap water on those spill spots after washing.
