Does this work on the "yellow flies" we have in North Florida? They bite viciously from May to July.

If the yellow flies bite because they are attracted by CO2 emitted by humans, then it might work to kill them. Otherwise, there is a sticky band that goes around the tank. I find lots of flies and other insects stuck to it. I would research why yellow flies bite and learn what attracts them before investing in the Skeeter Vac.

Not sure as I am in north east. For me it only seems to work on mosquitoes and gnats. In my experiences it helps but its not a total solution.

I don't know about those specifically, but we had a horrible outbreak of mosquitoes recently after really heavy rains, and I wouldn't get a single bite when I applied this. Should work for you!

I assume it does. We have lots of mosquitos in Florida, but they are not in the house. Hope this helps you.

Hello Christopher, My daughter lives in VA & she says it most defiantly kills them. She said it takes a little longer, but oh yes they are dead. We have the pine beetles here in the North West & it kills them also.

I live in Florida and want to stop the roaches and other bugs from coming in the house. Will this work? How often does it need to be sprayed during the rainy season?

My dogs are in the house so I have no idea on the flies. It did seem to burn both my dogs skin upon application and irritated them for quite a while.

I am not familiar with Florida yellow flies, but it did a superlative job of protecting me from the clouds of flies in the Australian Outback.

Bifenthrin is the only thing I have found that kills stinkbugs. It has saved my sanity! Spray outside around windows, doorways, and any place else they might sneak in. Soon you will find them laying around dead (both inside and out), and remember, if they die while trying to get into your house in the fall, there won't be as many trying to get out in the spring! :D After using it for the past 3 years, I only have a fraction of the problem I used to have.

I had it in sun last year. No problem. I had it at the edge of my very small yard. If flies are as bad this summer, I will get another.

No. The trap does not even work on flies. There was a really bad problem with flies this year in Southern Idaho and I ended having to kill all of them with windex and a swatter. Save your money, the trap sucks and smells gross!

I live in the Florida scrub. So we always have plenty of mosquitoes everywhere. My rain barrel is about four feet from my front door, so lots of people and pet traffic. We have not noticed an increase in mosquito in that area, and I have had it for for years. I put about two tablespoons of Clorox in mine every few months to kill larva. (There are other environmentally safe products you can get at local garden centers/Home Depot/ Loews.) Little green frogs appear on the urn and in tray from time to time- they seem to help control.

I know it works for more than just common "house flies" because there are more "bugs" in it than just those. I believe I have seen some horse flies in the bag too, but am not 100% certain (I do know what a horse fly is, just not absolute that I've seen them in the bag). In my opinion, for the cost, it is definitely worth the try.

Yes. It picks up anything that is on the surface especially small bugs. I have one in FL and one in GA. It definitely works!

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...

Yes, it worked perfectly for us with that problem. Just follow the directions. Very easy! Takes about 2 weeks for existing flies to die, and no new ones come back if you follow directions.

I assume it should work. It killed those large flying roaches in Baton Rouge. They should have similar neurological systems however I am not an entomologist. It works for about six months before you have to re-apply.

I found it to be very helpful repelling biting insects. It also relieved the itch of existing bites. Hope it works as well for you.
