Summary: works well even without the trap/container made for it!
Comment: I received the Rescue Reuseable Fly Trap Attractant before the actual trap arrived.
Being so disgusted by the flies this year I decided to go ahead and CAREFULLY mix the attractant in an old glass pickle jar that had been cleaned well. The jar still has a large label/sticker on the outside so maybe that is helping a little by disguising the fate awaiting the flies?
I put out the pickle jar about 1/2 full of plain hose water & the attractant (one packet of attractant) in a very sunny spot by plants the flies seem to like to rest on.
The very next morning the "trap" had 1/2 dozen of the buggers in it & the jar continues to fill up.
When the actual trap arrives in a day or so I will use it also, just in a different part of the garden.
The attractant is SUPER stinky.... what ever you do, do not get it on your hands or anything else except in the container you plan to use.
With that said, I highly recommend this product for catching flies.
******a few days later****** I put the lid on the jar with 5 or 6 holes that I stabbed through the lid, purposefully leaving the metal shards bent inwards, and the "pickle jar fly trap" is 1/2 full. Seriously, HALF FULL of disgusting flies that are no longer buzzing around my dog or my yard. Meanwhile, the actual "fly trap" jar has only about 1/4 the amount of flies in it. Don't know why, each has the same attractant. All I know is, it works better in the pickle jar for some reason.
I'm back to re-order more attractant to make sure we don't run out.

Summary: get rid of the pesky buggers
Comment: This product has, unfortunately been fased out. I purchased the ones for this review on line since Home Depot can no longer get them. This is the best working fly trap that I have found. The only negative being that it does have an increasingly bad odor. The unit needs to be cleaned and refilled faithfully.

Summary: Works, but stinks.
Comment: Ok yea it achieves it's purpose and all, but I can't give it 5 stars because of how much this thing stinks. You can kill the dead with this scent. Keep it far from you when in use. Actually even in it's packaging you simply can't get away from that scent. Other than that it works.

Summary: It works like a charm, but beware the smell!
Comment: Just make sure you place it far away from humans, hehe. It does smell rather bad, but it does the job. I hung mine from a tree branch a good 25 yards from the back porch.

Summary: Fly trap really works
Comment: This flytrap DOES make a noticeable difference. Safe for my Cats and dogs! My yard, 60x40 feet, used to have flies buzzing and biting and getting in the house, all the time. Since I put this about 20 feet from the patio and back door, the flies have been minimal. It DOES have a slight bad aroma, but just keep it downwind! I've had to empty the container twice (June,July 2007)... both times with thousands of flies in it. Filled top to bottom in the container so that not one more fly could even enter the top. That is no joke.. yes it was that full both times. The secret is keeping it with at least two inches of water at all times. It will last about 3 weeks in my yard before getting 100% full. No, need to dump it every few days, just keep the water in it. You can even strain the flies out and re-use the attractant. Works best in warmer weather. Safe enough to take camping, which I do. Just never, ever let it get dried, or it stops working. The flies must drown! They can't get back out. The older the attractant, the better it works. Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate.. seen one lately?? If you make your own attractant, it may kill the bees also (thus no pollination of the flowers).. use their attractant to attract the flies only.
