Customer Reviews for Golden Malrin Fly Bait - 10 lb

My daughter has pet rabbits. The manure is an outstanding fertilizer for my garden, but unfortunately, its also a MAJOR fly attractant. The flies land on the manure, lay eggs on it, the eggs hatch into maggots and then there's more flies.... Doesn't matter how often you clean, rabbits poop 24/7 so its impossible to avoid the flies. I've used various bags, traps, sticky strips, etc. but never found any solution I was really pleased with. The sticky strips were useless because the smell of the manure is FAR stronger than the attractant on the strips; the few on the strips ran into them *accidentally*. The fly trap bags work well but they smell horrific. My neighbors would complain every time the wind blew the scent of the active bags in their direction. I tried various brands of poison bates, but none seemed to be more desirable than the bunny poop UNTIL I found Golden Malrin. I sprinkle a small amount of granules around and under the rabbit cages daily and the flies dive on it immediately. Within 15-20 seconds you see the flies twitch, then die - its that fast. It's the first product that is desirable enough to draw the flies away from the bunny poop and onto the bait. Now that I've been using it regularly, I no longer have a fly 'problem' because I've broken the cycle; there are no more eggs hatching because no adults lived long enough to lay eggs (YAH!). I use it now just for maintenance; to kill any new flies to the area - get them quick before they can breed and start a colony again. It works excellent.

Golden Malrin Fly Bait is awesome. I buy it every year and use it for both ants and flies. Except now no one sells it in Muskogee.  Thanks, Cynthia

After years of using fly predators, feed-through fly control, barn mists, diatomaceous earth, an expensive, large biting fly trap and a variety of other baits with lackluster results, I tried this product on the recommendation of a friend who runs a huge horse rescue. I was stunned at the results. My property is nearly fly free. I do worry about my 15 free range chickens, 15 cats and 2 dogs ingesting it, but we are careful where we sprinkle it. It takes very little sprinkled among the stall shavings to produce amazing results. Within minutes I can see the fly population diminish. I hate that this is a toxic product, but I had to leverage the toxicity against the unpleasant side effects of a property infested by filth flies. This was the first Summer my horses went without fly masks!!

Overall I am pleased with Golden Malrin. There are noticeably fewer flies in and around my barn. It doesn't get rid of all flies, and I don't think anyone who has horses can expect it too, but I do think it's worth the purchase.

We had almost a sci-fi number of flies (we feed feral cats) and I put some of this down (a bit away so it wasn't near the cat's food) and the next day, OMG!!! The carnage was amazing!  Dead flies everywhere! I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!

Been having trouble with flies in the garage. Put this product out on the window ledges. Never have seen the flies at the bait, but I am seeing dead flies. The problem in the garage is now solved! Will use inside the home if needed. Thanks again for a great web site!

I am not getting the results the other reviewers had. I put the fly bait in fly traps, and I see no difference. I have not tried scattering the bait, so maybe that is the trick. I have noticed that roaches like the stuff. Someone dropped off a mother cat and her litter at the neighbors, and the mother conveniently moved her kittens under my house. The cat food attracted the roaches, so I put a bait trap near the cat food. I am finding dead or dying roaches.

Had to tackle a disgusting fly infestation in a restaurant basement. Sprinkled this product on the floor in several locations. Within 24 hours well over 95% of the flies were dead awaiting my disposal. After a couple days there was not a single fly left alive. A little goes a long way. The only drawback is the product has a strong odor right out of the can, but perhaps this is part of the manufacturer's strategy to make it so effective. The odor dissipates quickly following distribution. Overall I am very satisfied.

I own a restaurant. Our back alley area has always had thousands of flies in the warm weather. Constantly spending my employees time "killing flies" in my store. After sprinkling this product on the ground, flies were basically eliminated. They are no longer an issue. I don't understand any negative reviews, this stuff WORKS!!

I first learned about Golden Marlin Fly Bait in California about 25 years ago. As I remember it, it was yellow. I observed it in open pie tin in the outdoors at a picnic. It was on table and had many dead flies in the tin. I ordered a container of the product and was very surprised when I received the package and it was blue in color. I have not seen any evidence that the flies have much interest in it.

This product is worth every penny. It is the best product I have found that gets rid of many kinds of pests. There is limited mess as it comes as a dry product. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I use this product once a week around our dumpsters and it really works. It attracts the fly's and then kills them. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep fly's at bay.

It doesn't appear to be as effective as the old yellow Malrin.

Trap and the Malrin have been on the mounted post for weeks and not one fly... other jar trap other side of the yard is always lively with captured flies of all sizes unable to leave. Dead fly count hundreds in the jar, have to measure in inches, easy decision which is the best!

Unfortunately this product did not work for me. Not even partially or slightly. I tried it both sprinkled around, and in the fly trap. There was not a single fly killed. The flies showed no interest or attraction to the product. I purchased the product because of the numerous good reviews, and so I was disappointed.

This product is reputed to attract and kill flies....it is my understanding that this product at one time had been golden color and would kill a fly that just looked at it, the product is now blue in color and the flys are no longer attracted to the bait, if they die, not sure. Don't waste you money... The only reason I gave it one star is this review site made me select one.

So many times we get disappointed with things we buy today. That is not my experience with Golden Malrin. We placed it in open containers and placed them up high where they would be safe. In one day all the flies are gone from the barn. I cannot say enough to compliment this product. The service was also excellent, as I received the bait quickly and I am now in the process of telling all my friends about it.

This is one of the most interesting products to see work in person. Once the fly lands on it, it did seem that they were attracted that they didn't leave until it was too late and you get to see the death dance. I gave it 4 stars because it doesn't seem to attract them until they are basically within inches of the product. Once they touch the stuff it is over for the fly no matter what.

The material has been out for one week. Thus far, we have seen no positive results. We have a fruit fly infestation which doesn't seem to respond to any material that is not harmful to our birds. This one doesn't do it.

It don't attract as well as it use to. You have to place it on something that attracts flys for it don't do it on its own.

I used Malrin Fly bait years ago on a piece of watermelon, had about 2 inches of flys the next morning lying dead in the rind.... this time it didn't do anywhere near that, and I still have flies. Maybe the formula has changed, I was disappointed with the results. Yes it killed some, but not near enough, so I sprinkled it around the area where they were congregating, not the greatest result.

I am not having a fly problem right no but I had some Golden Malrin that I had opened and used most of the can. I put what was left out this past summer and fall it was bought in the late 1970's it still worked great. It solved my fly problem until the first freeze came. I will be putting out several stations this spring as my neighbors on both side, front and back of me have horses and cows I know I will have a real fly problem if i do not keep bait out.

I was a little disappointed at first. I put the bait out in little cups inside and outside and killed six flies in the first few days. We have five dogs, so I scooped up some turds and put them in a plastic bucket (the ones you get when you buy plants) and sprinkled the Malrin over the turds. I placed the buckets outside, out of sight and beyond smelling distance and this worked. Thousands of flies were eliminated and it kept them from invading the inside of the house. I have to say that the label of "Fly Bait" is not 100% accurate. I am happy with the prompt service and delivery I received and will try either the Maxforce Granular or Maxforce Spot Fly Bait.
