I live by chickens and horses but when i bbq the flies are worse. Will the bbq compete with the fly trap?

This fly trap, used consistently, eliminates flies. Period. We BBQed tonight and had no flies. Live near horses and cows.

One of my traps became so full of flies that it actually broke and fell to the ground it was so heavy! Thankfully, they were pretty much dead (although smelled really bad) and since the contents are non-poisonous, I didn't have to worry about the chickens getting to it, even though I cleaned it up best I could. When there is a good layer of flies/bugs on the top of the water, I swish the bag around a bit and they will sink to the bottom; stirring up the water will also allow the stinky stuff inside that attracts the bugs to be released. I get rid of the traps and replace them when most of the water solution is filled with bugs. Hope this helps!

it all depends on your fly concentration and quantity. In my area there are lots of dairy factories, the traps last one week more or less. don't let it run out of water, needs to have about two inches of water in the bottom. flies will keep accumulating up to about two inches from the top.

these fly traps work better than others i have tried. Yes they smell but not as bad as some traps. I have used two at a time when flies are really bad, sometimes they will last 10 days, usually not that long because they fill up(catch too many flies) and need replaced. I used them early in season and haven't needed to use them again this year so far.

I do not think so. I have found this unit to be very effective to the point that the grids have to be cleaned regularly of crispy critters and flies are for the most part are not present. I do however suggest a tried and true low tech tool known as the barrel type sticky fly strip. I use them all the time and they work great. The only problem is the flies tend to "Stick" around for a while! Good luck...

I gave the Bugzooka I purchased to friends, living out of my state. They catch all sorts of bugs with it, but they are lucky enough to have no Stink Bugs yet. The Bugzooka should catch Stink Bugs in hard to reach spots, but if you release them outside, they will come back in. Whenever I saw one, I would use a tissue to brush it into a small, plastic container. Then, I'd empty it outside. But, I was finding up to six a day. Finally, I started flushing them. Hate to do it, but now I find only one or two a day and sometime a day will go by without any. Also, never vacuum them or crush them. And keep any beverage glass covered. You don't want to take a drink of lemonade, with a Stink Bug floating in it. I did that once and it was nightmarishly awful!!! Good Luck!

I believe so. It attracts all that we have around here and some of them are large, biting flies. I assume they are horse flies. Try it and see. Just follow the instructions and get out of the way. Mine started catching flies in under an hour.

I don't know what type flies we have in Arizona, but it traps them. If black flies are attracted to smells they will probably go in the trap. Works very well here.

Take the caged animals out and cover the cages with some towels. Then go around spraying at the bugs, where you think they nest, and in the general air where they are in case you miss. Given the animals you have I assume you have Indian meal moths, you should get some traps as welll. If I was wrong then disregard that last sentence.

I'm just a customer who bought this. In my opinion you should be able to use apple cider vinegar to kill the flies. My fly trap status worth 30 flies in it at all times.

I purchased this to catch flies when we go camping. It works very well luring all flies into the trap. make certain you hang it away from the area you sit as the smell is ghastly That is what lures the flies in

I use it for stink bugs and they're too dumb to fly away which is good because you do have to get really close to suck it up. I love the bug zooka tho!

It stinks really bad so what flies are in the area will be caught. Works very well catching flies. I don't know about the whole neighborhood.

I haven't used it on the BBQ but it should work. Here is what the Emile Henry box says: "Designed to work on the barbeque (gas, charcoal, natural wood or electric cooking), in the oven, and under the broiler at temperatures up to 750 F (400 C)." "Can be used on barbeque grills and helps turn grills into out-door pizza ovens."

It worked fairly quick for me. I had a bbq & the flies were there but no-one complained of getting bit by mosquitos, I sprayed the day before. I also don't water it down as much as it says. & I spray the tree trunks & some of the lower branches of trees. If it rains you will have to re-spray.

NO NO NO! The main ingredient in the fly trap is dried partly rotten egg solids. When water is added, the egg rehydrates. It doesn't smell *too* bad at first, but then the flies start accumulating and the stink level rises. It is NOT for indoor use! Don't do it!

The tent is best in the summer without the fly. If you put the fly on, youu may roast. You may want to look into a hammock with an attached bug net and carry a rainfly just in case
