Does this work indoors and does it kill flies?

I don't this was intended to be used inside. It has a bothersome humming noise not noticeable outside as much. Plus if you have indoor pets, which I do, I would hate for them to jump on this and get electrocuted. Will kill flies and other flying pests. I hope that helps.

I use it out doors but I would assume it would work in-door. I would kill any bug that touches it. You just need to get the flies there.

I have never used it indoors. I have seen them indoors and they worked. As far as flies I do not see why it wouldn't. If they are attracted to the light and fly for it; zap. I have a lot of yellow flies, moths and misquotes due to open fields, wood lines and a creek all near my home. That is why I have two. Hope this helps you.

No, this unit only kills mosquitoes and a few other night flying small insects that are attracted to the light. This unit does not attract flies. That said, this device will literally clear a back yard of mosquitos after about 3 nights being on all night.

yes, but it is not suggested due to noise & placement, but it will do the job

It does kill flies but it should not be used indoors. The fumes that the burning insects give off is believed to be cancer causing. Also, the instruction manual states outdoor use only. www.flowtron.com

Mine is a question too: product description states the product shouldn't be used around home/pets/ children, I see it's ultraviolet light sourced, would the ultraviolet be the danger source enough to discourage use on a back porch where flies continuously buzz 9 months a year??

it works indoors and I only use it for the mosquitoes that get into the house when we open the doors, and then go to my computer room , I guess they like the warmth of the machines, I have it on a timer for one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, and it works.

Probably not the best choice for killing mosquitos. This product works best in areas that are closed. It produces a toxic vapor and is not recommended to be used in areas where people or pets live, breathe and work. If you have a mosquito problem for example in your attic or basement, then yes, it would more than likely kill the mosquitos. But it will not work well in ventilated rooms nor will it work outdoors.

I don't know about roaches but it certainly works for fruit flies, mosquitos, and gnats indoors.

Have not used this indoors. Don't kmow if it's approved for indoor use. But it does an amazing job here in Michigan killing a massive mosquito population (as well s any other flying nuisances). It was well worth the money here.

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 disagree on this. If you have a home like mine that was designed for the NW but is in the midsouth-there is no possible way to control them coming in purely from a design factor. If you read anything about eliminating them indoors all the articles will tell you an exterminator does no good. People, they can come in through a door! It seems to me that you hang this up in the room where there is the most issue and clean it 2-3 times/week. Mine infestation is ALL indoors. I will leave feedback once I have used it but sounds like a winner inside or out.

I have used this sprayer in a well aired milk room 14x14 open on two sides and find the results impressive. Not entirely fly free but noticeable fly population reduction. No flies landing on me while milking or diving into the bucket. Much neater and more pleasant smelling then fly catching devices. I have on occasion moved it into my house - on the days when a million flies got inside, takes two days to get back to few flies around.

The odor of the product to attract the flies is too strong for indoor use. It has a dead fish smell and would not be good indoors. Also would not be sanitary if used indoors.Works great outdoors.

I use them to control white flies in my indoor garden. But I cannot see them working in an outdoor environment.arden

Yes the odor is not for in closed areas like a garage or near your house like on a patio. The point is to attract the flies away from inhabitants. The flys go where the trap goes. Put it away from the house.

It traps them until they die. It's very effective but the downside is it stinks really bad and you don't want to hang it inside your house. We have 2 hanging by our garage doors and that's where most of the flies go.

The effectiveness decreases as more bugs get trapped on the glue board. When I originally installed the unit, I had a fruit fly problem and had to replace the boards about every 3 days. Now I just check every few days. The "fruit fly" unit in the kitchen has a board that has been in for over a week and has only 2 small flies, so its good for a while yet. The "gnat" unit in the back room next to the houseplant with is about half full after 3 days, so I'll probably have to replace it sooner.

We have several of these around our place, they work great. Place them at least 5-6 foot off the ground near entry doors to keep flies from entering the house. I only use them outside. You will know when the can is empty or the batteries need replaced because the flies will be back. I wish it had a day/night sensor so it wasn't wasted by spraying all night, but other than that, they work great!

to be honest, others said it worked, I hardly noticed any flies at all. After a couple weeks, there were only one or 2 houseflies in it, but still flies all around the trash. never saw if there were smaller flies inside. I asked for a refund.

It will trap pretty much any insect. We have had flies, a roach, and various other insects become trapped due to the fact that we keep it in our living room and at night insects are attracted to light in general. We use in it conjunction with other flea killing methods such as medicating our cats. If you have just a few gnats, this might do the trick. If you have an infestation you will be better off finding the source of the infestation and then eradicating it. Hope this helps. Good luck.

NO!!! It DOES NOT attract flies to kill them. We've had this in use for over a week now and not one fly has been killed by it. Product description is very misleading!
