How to use the RESCUE! Disposable Fly Trap

How to set up and use the Disposable Fly Trap from RESCUE!.

[@siaseeds8950]

I would highly recommend hanging first then watering. I messed up while trying to hang it and my back yard stank for a good day or two even after hosing it down.

[@judywilliams9804]

Thank for sharing 😊

[@majormalfunction1000]

I instantly regret ripping open the bag without reading anything. Only after did I come to this video lol

[@WhyRescue]

Woops! Hope you gave it another try! Our traps work phenomenally well.

[@misskristinn]

SAME! I cut the whole bottom half off lol!

[@doneown503]

I guess this is my group , let's say we all meet here again in a month , see what progress we have made?? lol

[@ANGELSURS]

@@misskristinn 😂😂

[@AustinandBuddy]

Same here lol. Taped it shut but it leakes slowly and the flies are just going to where it leakes now ugh.

[@rags2richez398]

Just bought my first two, followed instructions carefully, and now i sit and wait, 🤓 thanks for the tutorial

[@slyderace]

I did not realize that was a cap on the top.. LOL I thought I had to pull out the whole thing. This video was a great help.

[@AustinandBuddy]

I thought the same thing and I cut the bag open before I even read the instructions ugh lol.

[@Ari-Ari314]

just set mine up! ill check for results tomorrow!❤

[@Ari-Ari314]

nothing has been trapped so far and its been like 6 days

[@kampuskop]

These things work!!!! Outstanding product.

[@WhyRescue]

Yes they do! We're so glad you think so!

[@8541stone]

So simple thanks

[@XRad228X]

Thanks for the video

[@tyrone795]

They flying to it but not in the bag. These flys I got went to fly school

[@denshou]

The same is happening to me with the fly trap that I hung

[@elliemaeshea2942]

I can't believe how good these work.I think its attracting more than we had.Is this normal?

[@WhyRescue]

We get this comment a lot! The trap is only attracting flies from about 20 feet, depending on wind and air flow. Who knew you had so many flies around!

[@lenoregorman4688]

For the 2nd stupid time, I cut the bottom off!! Didn't learn my lesson from last year. It's the stuff in the bag that throws me, because it's wrapped in plastic and I thought I needed to take that out. grrrr

[@xplanetastrox8209]

Lol they put it by the dog 🐶

[@tonyarobinson699]

Lmfao

[@dar6851]

I bought that exact same bag at Walmart and put in next to my trash bin outside and in 7 Days the oder was horrific it was Mega gross. I literally caught more than what the bag could sustain I had like three thousand flies, it was so bad that larva was starting to form inside the bag I had to dispose of it in another plastic bag and threw it in the trash and it took me like 5 hours to get rid of that oder on my clothes

[@Stevenw609]

Thanks

[@1pCarlos]

This just attracts even more flies

[@WhyRescue]

It is amazing to see how many flies are in your area once you hang the trap! We recommend hanging the trap 20 feet away from patios, decks, or outdoor living spaces to draw flies away from where you want to be. Rest assured, the trap doesn't attract flies that aren't already there on your property, and it keeps them contained from laying eggs for more flies.

[@2008hec]

Can the contents be composted (attractant + dead flies)?

[@WhyRescue]

We have not tested fly trap contents in compost to know for sure, and flies do harbor a lot of bacteria, but we have heard of some users adding the trap contents to their compost. Because it's officially untested, we can't say composting is an "approved" method of disposal for fly trap contents.

[@brass_tracker3892]

Is it normal for these to fill with water after a rain? Mine was pretty useless after it filled with water

[@WhyRescue]

It’s not normal, but if the trap is at a slight angle, receiving a lot of “sideways rain” with wind, or it has rained a downpour more than the usual rainfall, this can happen. Please email [e-mail] and we will make this right for you.

[@timij6754]

What device should I use to hang this off the ground?

[@WhyRescue]

You can hang from a tree, a fence post, shepherds hook, hanging plant hook, or a nail on the side of a structure. We’re available at [e-mail] for questions.

[@dylangaradyn6734]

How long should I change it? I support flies could breeding in and out the bag and make the population even more?

[@WhyRescue]

Fly Traps should be disposed of when the trap is full, when the trap dries out, or after 30 days - whichever comes first. If you see flies breeding in the bag, that shouldn't be a problem as long as you follow the disposal guidelines. While the trap still has liquid and isn't being used past 30 days, the newly hatched flies can't leave the trap. Hope this helps!

[@david88va]

Does it seal back up for disposal?

[@WhyRescue]

Hi David, The top does reclose, but it is not a watertight seal. We recommend placing it in a plastic bag and keeping it upright when you dispose of it. Personally, I like to wait until trash day to take mine down:) There is a video on how to dispose here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m57ZdKaCasuKqassi=4bV12lSaKM9W0Nif

[@ramza675]

It works but they werent kidding about the strong odor.

[@minnymoon1360]

What does it smell like?

[@ramza675]

@@minnymoon1360 lol at :58 poor dog ahahaha its like hot rotting fish and rotten eggs, garbage, and like a weird chemical smell almost like medicine/pills. If you walk over this bag when its in use it might make you gag, on a hot day this really has a range to it the smell. I would consider it cruel and unusual punishment to have a dog near this thing.

[@rayray2878]

What's in the bag that is attracting the flys ?

[@WhyRescue]

There's a water soluble pouch of powder, and when water is added to the trap, it releases an odor attractive to flies.

[@Thedirtylittlesecret]

Aka manure.

[@joeyb7373]

How long does the bag need to be hanging is it days or weeks?

[@WhyRescue]

Are you asking how long before the trap starts catching flies? Minutes, or a couple hours at most depending on temperature, time of day and the fly population. Are you asking how long the trap lasts before you need to hang a new one? The trap will last about 30 days in the average yard, less if you have a high population of flies and the bag fills before 30 days. The trap will keep working until it is full and no more flies can get in, until it dries out, or up to 30 days - whichever comes first.

[@joeyb7373]

@@WhyRescue thank you for your valuable info

[@hildaqueen]

@@WhyRescue I live in the Netherlands and ordered it via Amazon - but I do not notice the "soluble bag" inside??? Did I get taken for a ride? I have hung mine up and 24 hours later it still does not smell like anything - just pure water.

[@WhyRescue]

@@hildaqueen It's possible you have encountered a counterfeit product, and should return it to Amazon. Authentic RESCUE! products will always have a bait pouch. A plastic bag with water isn't going to do you much good! :) We also saw your email come through at [e-mail] and will respond there as well. Thanks!

[@hildaqueen]

@@WhyRescue thank you. I ordered your refill bags on Amazon. (From your site😁).

What's the correct way to dispose

[@WhyRescue]

We have a video about how to dispose - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m57ZdKaCasuKqas Please let us know if you have more questions!

[@sorrowsmiles13]

I can’t even open my lid. I cut around the dotted line and the friggin lid is stuck and won’t open😩

We’re sorry you encountered a defective trap. Please email us at [e-mail] and we’ll make this right.

[@ringwratih]

Can we reuse?

[@WhyRescue]

Not this particular trap, but we do have several options for reusable fly traps! Visit rescue.com/products to take a look.

[@amandaserrano5934]

Can I use this indoor?

[@WhyRescue]

Amanda, this is an outdoor fly trap. For indoors we recommend the Indoor Fly TrapStik.

I have mine hanging on my balcony the odor is strong can it harm me from inhalation?

[@WhyRescue]

No, the odor isn’t harmful, just stinky! If you can, you might hang it further away from you.

[@Flyingdumbbells]

But who counted 20,000 flies tho?

[@WhyRescue]

Actually, we have our own R&D lab here in Washington State, and one of our scientists counted them!

[@Randyisthatone]

Damn I feel bad for the scientist that counted all those flies lol

[@JoeHerdez777]

It's not for indoors? Yikes!

[@elvergia3714]

Does this work on baby mommas. Just to keep her away from coming to my house and going off on me and my new girl.

[@Ashes_to_Ashes628]

😂

😂😂😂😂😂

[@PatientenO.T.]

Hanging it on a garbage can is a very bad idea. Unless you want your garbage man to hate you for the rest of your life.

[@gallitoonbass4243]

Damn it doesn't even include its own string?

[@alphataco693]

Put this in my house not thinking left all day no ac on. Came home almost puked. Dont use in the house especially your kitchen😂😅

Noooooo!!!! Lmfao

[@sarahzhara6639]

Idk why but mine isn't catching any flies. I followed the directions. It is hanging from my porch light, outside on the corner of my balcony (because flies come in). I did it on the side opposite of the sliding door because people go in and out and I saw the warning about the odor. Please help all these flies keep entering the home.

[@WhyRescue]

Hi Sarah! We are here to help! Sounds like you’re doing everything right. Please email us at [e-mail] and we will troubleshoot with you there. Thanks!
