Product Overview

The FBS1 Fly Bait Station is constructed with chipped metal flakes in the plastic, creating a high contrast that attracts flies. Its innovative design includes a 5-year UV additive, that prevents the elements from breaking down baits and provides a sheltered space for flies to feed. With long-term baiting, the FBS becomes an effective kill zone and management solution.

The front cover has a locking lid along with vents allow flies into the station while protecting bait from wind, rain and other elements. The Fly Bait Station is made of 100% recycled heavy-duty plastic, has durable hinge design, and spring-loaded locking mechanism for easy closing and opening. It is 6.5” x 3.75” x 2.75”.

The FBS can be used with granular and liquid fly bait. The station can be mounted on fences, walls, trees, building perimeters, near trash dumpsters, trash cans, door openings, in barns near stalls, feeding troughs and anywhere flies are a problem. The station easily mounts to all types of surfaces using zip ties, screws or liquid nails. An FBS stake, sold separately, is designed with a friction fit connection that secures ground placement of the station.

The station comes standard with 2 removable bait trays and barcode label.

Only 1 FBS-1 Fly Bait Station key is provided per order. We do sell additional FBS-1 Keys if more keys are needed.

My mom and I feed feral cats, they'll come in the garage and eat. The flies were just NUTS. We didn't want to put the bait down in the garage so we used this and set it up on a shelf, The next day, dead flies everywhere. They'd eaten almost all the bait. LOVE IT!

Versatile bait station

By Jesse on 02/11/2013

I'm a professional & would recommend using this with granular fly baits, no matter where you're applying the bait. Used these around the doors of my home, installed in discreet areas, & have gotten great results. I've also used these in some of my accounts, horse barns, dairies, etc with positive results. Sightly, unlike most fly traps, & when ordered in bulk inexpensive. Child & animal proof when installed correctly.

excellent

I am very satisfied with this fly bait station. It is a very good price. It comes with a key so you can keep it locked. And it has "don't touch" engraved in it so it makes it responsible. At first I didn't understand how to hang it up but when I called customer service they were very helpful. I understood right away how to put it together.

I'd Give 0 Stars If I Could....

I've been in the Pest Control business for over 22 years, and I've never had such a miserable failure from a product like I did these stations. I tried three different baits and mounted these in the dumpster areas of about a dozen restaurants and NEVER found on dead fly in any of them. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

Questions & Answers

Have a question about this product?

Do flies die after entering the FBS-1 station, or do they leave and die?

Do the flies normally fly out of the FBS-1 Fly Bait Station to die after eating the bait or do they die on top of the bait making it necessary to clean them out to make room for more flies? If it is the latter, how hard is it to clean out the flies without disturbing the bait?

Whether the flies leave the station to die or die inside all depends on what kind of bait you place inside it. We recommend the Maxforce Granular Fly Bait which will kill a fly within 60 seconds of landing on it. This means that some flies will die in the station on the bait and some will fly out before they die. If you do have a lot of fly activity, then you would probably want to clean them out of the station every few days until activity was under control. However it is very easy to clean the flies out if you have to do this. The flies are much larger than the bait and will be sitting on top of it. You can take a stick or a plastic knife and just push them out of the station onto the ground or in the trash.
