Fly Catcher Bait Refill

I tried this and true to its name it caught flies. The only thing that got me was the smell. The product is amazing and catches a large number of flies but do make sure that the worms that start crawling up stay within the bottle. All in a easy to use and definitely highly recommended!

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??

Different flies are attracted to different lures - just know that this product only works on large flies. Worked from day 1 though - great as already 5 trapped in the first evening (so worked sooner than the said 24 hours initial period)...

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.

Well, I was a bit sceptical about this, but as they are priced at a good point, gave them a go. It said it will be effective after 24 hours, which is about now, but, to be frank, they've been working since we put them outside, and reduced the amount of flies in the house significantly. Genuinely over the moon with them, already filling up.

Works well. Can produce a smell after some time if very full but depends where you place them. Repeat customer. X4 last 3/4 weeks each so can cover the summer for bbqs and sitting outside. Great for keeping flys away from dog bowls also etc.

3* review for something with 5* performance! This really works. Now able to sit and eat in the garden without being buzzed by wasps. Catches flies too when the door is opened not so many come in. However! There are two versions of this product. Only one is actually reusable - despite the packaging on both claiming to be! The versions with the narrower blue top are not! This is annoying, especially when you write and tell them and they don’t respond or apologise. Hence the 3* review. I couldn’t wait for a return and reorder as they wouldn’t have arrived in time for a bbq so feel a bit peeved that I have not received exactly what I ordered. Product Labelling needs to be sorted! Also - as another customer noted - they get stinky when full 😷🤢😷

These work amazing. Got them last summer and left them on the window ledges outside to deter flys from coming inside. Caught loads so giving them another go this summer.
