Does the dynatrap catch flies?

Not even convinced that it attracts mosquitoes, which it is supposed to do by emitting CO2 to attract them.

I don't believe so. I never saw a housefly in the trap. The method of attraction isn't aimed at houseflies.

I emptied my trap several times last year and all I saw in there was moths & mosquitos. No to flies. Tom M.

No. I am surprised that it traps even one fruit fly...I was very disappointed in the product.

I am happy to report that this trap with fly bait only catches flies. Bees and wasps stay away from the stink. This is the best fly trap you have ever used. It takes a day or so to get going, but if you have flies, expect it to fill within a week. Use a spoon to remove the dead flies, and ad some water. The bait is a gift that keeps on giving for weeks.

I have had the trap for several weeks but have not yet changed the trap because not many flies have landed omit.

We are using the Dynatrap on our back deck (15ft x 15ft) and it works well there. No mosquitoes at all, but as soon as as you walk off the deck, unfortunately they are prevalent. So in short, Iwould say it works well in a small area, but certainly doesn't work in the large area that they say. It is also quiet and unobtrusive.

I think it does attract flies from all of my neighbor's backyards. I wish everyone on the block had one of these. I don't think this is actually a problem because it does trap them very effectively and I do not see any flies other than right at the trap.

I do not believe it will attract them but if they step on it I am sure it would hold them. Deer flies can't get loose

I know it works for more than just common "house flies" because there are more "bugs" in it than just those. I believe I have seen some horse flies in the bag too, but am not 100% certain (I do know what a horse fly is, just not absolute that I've seen them in the bag). In my opinion, for the cost, it is definitely worth the try.

What's a deer fly? This thing traps mosquitoes, household flies, fruit flies pretty well. We had too many indoor plans and flowers that all these little flies became a nuisance until we purchase the trap. We have two in our house. When we just started out using it, our two trap grabbed about 10 flies each days. You're talking about 20 per day! I had to replace the glue trap every couple days or so. Now, after six months, I replace my glue traps every two weeks, maybe longer.

You will know. When working the thing is a fly magnet so there are many floating around contemplating going inside the trap. After potency you have a bag containing dead ones but nothing outside.

My guess would be that it might catch small lizards if they crawl into it. I do not have lizard problems, so have no experience to share on that issues. It sure catches lots of bugs and spiders. I have two of these traps in every room in the house and seldom see any insects at all anymore. Good luck.

It should trap any insect that is attracted to light, since I don't have gnats I can't answer the question.

I can not tell the difference between flies. It basically attracts them and they can't get out so they drown. The same company sells a Yellow Jacket, Fly, and Fruit Fly trap and also a trap only for fruit flies.

I was very happy with the Dynatrap. I kept it on my rear porch and enjoyed sitting on same without the bugs.

this fly trap is absolutely amazing. it fills up about every 2-3 weeks. the only problem is that it stinks real bad-which is why the flies go crazy for it. you need to leave it mostly in the sun. i keep them in the far side of my yard from where we hang out. you should set this up in the spring, so as flies hatch, the get caught. this 'sterling' catcher is the only type that work. i have been using them for over 10 years.
