Red top fly traps

[Turn7]

Been having a glut of flies in the house this summwr so thought I’d try one of these .

There is no doubt they work, but given the sheer number of dead flies in mine over a short rime makes me question if I’m actually attracting MORE flies into the garden than without one of these ?

Since setting it up, have also added some string curtain beads to the man French windows we have open . And the number of sky raisins in the living area is substantially reduced.

Just ordered some as it's insane this year. I get what you're saying about attracting them but if they die it's all good imo.

As long as you're sensible with placement of the trap (the instructions are pretty good on this) then you shouldn't have a problem, as you'll be drawing the flies away from the house.

I use these and they really are effective.

Don't waste money on any of the copies, they just don't work as well / at all.

We live in the middle of an Aberdeenshire forest and used to get absolutely plagued with flies on warm humid days to the point where you didn't want to even venture outside.

For several years now I've places 3 or 4 of these about the place and now I very rarely even notice the flies at all unless I venture away from the garden. Makes a huge difference.
