  • Asked by Stephen

    Q
    Does the Advantage Fly Trap work against biting horse flies like the deer fly and yellow fly?
    A
    No, the Advantage Fly Trap will not work for horse flies or deer flies. Biting flies are drawn to different environments than non biting flies like cluster flies or house flies. Because of the nature of deer and horse flies there is not really a good way to get rid of them. Fortunately, the season for deer flies is rather short, usually four to five weeks in June or July, and three to four weeks in August for horse flies.

  • Asked by Scott
    03/09/2010
    Q
    Will the Advantage Fly Trap be effective for cluster flies?
    Mind you we have thousands that live in the vinyl siding. Looking for solutions in NY.
    A
    Yes, cluster flies are attracted to the Advantage Fly Trap. After the cluster flies leave your home in the spring, you will want to seal up as many entry points as possible before fall comes around again and a new cluster fly invasion starts. In addition to using the Advantage Fly Trap, we also suggest thoroughly spraying the outside of your home with a residual insecticide paying special attention to cracks, crevices, gaps, places where utility lines enter into the structure, eaves, soffits, door frames and window frames. As you are aware, folks in New York are quite limited by what they can purchase. We recommend Essentria IC3, a natural concentrated liquid insecticide that will leave a long lasting residual.

    Q
    Is the Advantage Fly Trap for exterior use only?
    A
    Yes. The Advantage Fly Trap should only be used outdoors. The Advantage Fly Banquet Lure has an odor that would not be welcome indoors. We do carry a full line of indoor fly light traps and fly glue traps to fit just about any fly control need.

  • Asked by Latif from Orlando
    12/06/2015
    Q
    Would the Advantage Fly Trap work for fruit flies for fruit trees like guava or fig trees?
    A

    The Advantage Fly Trap is intended for larger filth flies such as blow flies, house flies, stable flies, larger gnats, and cluster flies. It may catch a few of the fruit flies, but it would not amply compete with decaying fruit from the trees. Be sure to pick ripe fruit and remove fruit that has fallen to the ground as quickly as possible to reduce the breeding ground for fruit flies.

    05/04/2016
    Q
    Is there a water fill line on the Advantage Fly Trap?
    How much water is needed in the trap. There's not a fill line on the liners. Prevois experience with these types of traps, the fill up with flys rather quickly
    A

    Per the paper instructions that come with the Advantage Fly Trap you would add 25 oz of water.

  • Asked by Mike from Wyoming
    06/15/2017
    Q
    How is the smell from the Advantage Fly Traps?
    Does it carry far from the trap?
    A

    Yes, there is often a foul odor with most flie traps and this is because flies are attracted to filth. The Advantage Fly Trap should only be used outdoors. The Advantage Fly Banquet Lure has an odor that would not be welcome indoors.

  • Asked by Chris from Tucson, Az
    11/04/2017
    Q
    Does the water go into the disposable liner or the permanent blue tub when using the Advantage Fly Trap?
    I ask because my clear liner has a hole that the water leaks out of. I thought the water and bait would go in there but now I'm not sure.
    A

    When using the Advantage Fly Trap:

    1. Add enclosed packet of Fly Banquet lure into the trap liner.

    2. Add water to the fill mark

    3. Close the top of the trap

    4. Hang trap in a bright, sunny outdoor area with little wind, where flies are a problem. Allow 24-48 hours for the lure to fully activate.

    5. Remove and discard the inside liner when it is full of dead flies and insects (usually every 10 days).

    There is a hole in the center of the liner for assembly of the trap. If you received liners from us that appear to be defective or damaged, then please contact us at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

  • Asked by Clay from Justin
    08/08/2021
    Q
    Does the Advantage Fly Trap attract Dragon Flies?
    A

    Advantage Fly Trap includes two pre-measured packets of "fly banquet" lure for attracting flies to the trap, which is designed to attract stable flies, blow flies, house flies, and large gnats.  Although the lure is not intended or designed to attract dragonflies, we cannot completely discount the possibility of a dragonfly being attracted to the lure.
