Customer Reviews for Maxforce Fly Spot Bait

Due to the contents of this bait, surfaces sprayed can grow mold. Avoid spraying permant structures such as the side of your house. Spray on disposable material or containers that can be washed. House flies love the colors blue and black, so small squares of blue cardboard or other obsorbent materal work well, as well as things such as your garbage cans and recycle bins that can be washed. Also, mix up the smallest amount possible. I have had sucess in mixing up a spray bottle and re-shaking and using previously mixed up product, but I have been told that the mixed product should be used within 24 hours for optimum affect. This may mean that you might have to weigh out the product on a sensitive scale to get the right amount, e.g, 2 oz per 16oz of water would mean only 1/8 of that package (1/4 oz) in 2 oz of water in a micro spray bottle to treat everything you need to treat around your house and use up all the product at once. I try to spray blue peices of cardboard hanging in places where it does not get exposed to a lot of rain, such as under overhangs as well as inside my garbage can.

We had an apocalyptic infestation of flies after the fields next to us were spread with cage house waste. The first wave came just after the spreading, the second larger wave after the next hatch. My son, who at the time worked for a pest control company recommended Maxforce. The first time we painted it on different surfaces. It worked, however we knew we had to do something bigger and better after the second wave of flies. We mixed it and put it in spray bottles. We sprayed a lot of surfaces and flies were dying by the thousands. We had to keep cleaning the porch and entrance ways with the gas blower to prevent dragging large amounts of dead flies into our home. The spray bottle application worked well.

I use this in my daily pest control service and found this to be the best of any other baits I have ever used to get rid of flies.

I work for a large pest control company in Florida and this is the same product that they use. Last year, we had flies all over our trash cans and recycle bins because their colors attract house flies. Due to their high numbers, dozens would always get in with the doors being opened and closed all day long. This year, after applying on disposable material near the cans and on the inside of the garbage can (have to wash it now and then anyway), we have seen only one or two flies, and those were probably the ones that haven't died yet. I mixed up just a small part of the packet with 2 oz of water (mixed by directions), and I still have enough to last for a long time! Great product!

I use this product in my horse barn and found it to work fairly well, however the Maxforce granular bait that comes in a pail works much better for the tremendous amount of flies that visit a horse barn. I found that it works better if the bait is moist so I put it on a pile of manure in the morning and by the end of the day there were alot of dead flies. It works better than any other fly product I've tried. I would recommend this product, especially to horse owners, and we know flies!

We had a terrible fly infestation under the deck of our screened in porch. There was no food source under there and no way to get directly at them aside from ripping the floor up. We tried every product we could find in the stores, nothing helped. We were literally killing 40-50 flies an hour. Looking online I found Maxforce fly bait and within 3 days of using it our fly problem disappeared! This stuff is fantastic! I ordered more in case the flies ever come back.

im a retired pest control tech. I used this product around restaurants and even a chicken processing plant. It works fast and is very effective.i started having a fly problem around my home this summer, I was happy to find this product on this website. I immediately ordered and was amazed at how fast I received it. Just follow directions on the label and wait a few minutes.2 things to be aware of, if you mix it in a spray bottle shake it from time to time. Test the area, because it will leave a white residue. Also you will be busy sweeping up dead flies!

My pest control company told me about this product for killing flies around the entrances and garbage cans outside my restaurant. I purchased a 16oz. bottle and followed the instructions and used a pump garden sprayer, within 60 seconds I had a lot of dead flies. I highly recommend this product!

In short, we had a sudden infestation of flies. This was easy to mix, and easy to apply. I sprayed it in several places on the walls around the apartment. In an hour, the flies started dropping like... well, flies. By the next day, more than half the flies were gone - dead. Inside of three days, all but a couple of flies had found the bait and died. Two weeks later, we are still fly-free. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I saw a You Tube vid last year but was late in the season so did not order. DoMyOwnPestControl.com had the best deal including shipping so this year when the flies turned up by the millions I figured I had to give Maxforce a try. Item came signature delivery and fairly quickly. My first use involved figuring out how to mix. Maxforce is a dry soluble powder so one ounce dry weight is not the same as one ounce liquid. I borrowed my wife's cooking scale to measure 1 ounce and added to 8 ounces water. I just wanted enough to give it a try in a small spray bottle. I sprayed outside deck and doorways and inside on venetian blinds. I avoided painted surfaces except for a few doors although the video showed spraying in corners in a restaurant setting. The flies dropped dead by the thousands especially outdoors with a fresh application. The second and third days they were still dying but it did not seem as fast as when applied initially. Inside, they are still dying and I have not sprayed in almost two weeks. The product advertises an attractant but I have noticed that flies landing in the vicinity of the sprayed surface are not drawn immediately to the actual sprayed surface. When they do land on the sprayed surface they do not die immediately (within 60 seconds) but dead flies are still accumulating so it appears it is still working. I live in the heart of Idaho dairy country and the flies recently remind one of African documentaries where the children are covered with flies. This does kill by the thousands but we have millions of flies. I am thinking of mixing with sugar water to see if the attractant process could be increased. Indoors the kill rate is still good so every dead fly on the window sill is one that did not roost on the ceiling etc. I am recommending this to friends, but I wish the attractant was stronger.

House flies were driving me nuts. While a mesh screen helped, the little buggers were still sneaking inside. After application of Maxforce Fly Spot Bait, houseflies disappeared. It worked miracles and saved my sanity.

My kids raise show pigs and this year we are having a terrible problem with flies. I ordered one package of Maxforce to see if it works and I mixed it up and painted it on the wires and top bars of the pig pens. Within 60 seconds there were dead flies dropping everywhere. Within a day the floors were covered with dead flies. I immediately ordered a bigger supply! My only complaint is that the fly control only lasts for about a week and the flies return if you don't re-apply it.

This product is the best I have ever used. You can have 50-100 flies in a building and spray just a spot here and there on the floor and walls and within 5 min the flies are gone. what im amazed by is you see very few dead on the floor. I dont know where they die at but who cares it makes my customers very happy. the five stars are not only for the product but for do my own pest control also for doing such a great job with there service to use the customers. lic in wv & ohio thank you mike

In our neighborhood we consider it to be a miracle "potion"; we have had a terrible fly problem and after using Maxforce Fly Spot Bait a couple of times, we have no more flies and are delighted.

I find this product to be excellent although very expensive. We have had a horrible problem with hot, humid weather this year and the flies have been unbearable. After spraying, within minutes we have hundreds (if not thousands!) of dead flies on the ground. I have not found this to be harmful to any of my animals. We still have flies but I believe this is helping the situation.

I had heard about Maxforce Fly Bait from a friend after telling him we lived within close proximity to some turkey barns. We really like living here but the flies are a continuing problem. I bought 1 packet and was truly amazed! The flies are literally dead within a few seconds of consuming it. I would highly recommend it. I am still using the first packet as it does not take much to spray an area.

I received my order promptly. It was fresh and didn't look like it had been rolling around the bottom of a UPS truck. It was a good price and I am very pleased.
