[QUOTE="Letfreedomring, post: 4129453, member: 50298"] At the start of the season we were overwhelmed with house flies while trying to do anything outside in the garden, garage, porches, etc. Decided to try my luck at some fly traps since the hanging water filled bags of water to "scare" them off just sounded silly to me. While shopping at our local TSC I noticed their reusable fly traps were on sale so picked up a couple to try. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rescue-fly-trap-reusable-w-attractant-ftr-dt12-2212213?cid=Shopping-Google-Product-2212213&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmvSoBhDOARIsAK6aV7g5cBvh7xXDuoWj7JtChQf4smT1v0Q59lt6pnAKkgvk0FfpmhNsPwEaAkXWEALw_wcB[/URL] I read the instructions and heeded the warnings about the "strong smell" and placed them up and down wind from back door to try our luck at putting a dent in the population. Well hole-e-chit if they didn't undervalue their use of the term "strong smell"!🤮 They should have said: "Don't place anywhere you wouldn't keep a rotting corpse"! So after traps had pretty much worked their magic and trapped almost 3" of flies and maggots each, the directions inform you to empty each one in a waste receptacle and rinse and reuse. [ATTACH type="full" alt="wYyTHMm50f4Dm.gif"]416227[/ATTACH] So both traps were closed, wrapped in a double layer of grocery bags (while holding breath) and put in the trash bin to hopefully never be seen again! Moral of the story: while modern fly traps work great, take my advice and just buy the disposable ones. Your nose will thank me later!:puke: [/QUOTE]
