Do they get rid of flies also? Or is it only for mosquitos? Thanks.

This year I put one by every entry into our home and we have not had the usual spring flying bugs inside our home. It's been wonderful!

This stuff doesn't work like a bug-killer...more like a repellent. I've had wasps, bees, mosquitos and flies around the back patio where I have the "egg" and they just fly away after a short time. Our back neighbors have a pool and we get the brunt of the bugs from the water source. The wasps took longer to go away. We were afraid they'd make another hive/nest where they do every year, but they didn't. You do have to refill it (I use only about two tablespoons at a time), but it lasts through the summer and we live in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Just a small warning, the liquid you pour into the egg smells like a very strong flower. My husband doesn't like the strong scent; I think it smells nice and goes well with the rose bush I've hung it in. Two of our friends thought they were smelling the roses, but neither them, nor I, wanted to stand around it for very long. Our patio is enclosed on two sides, with the back and side yards open. Hope this helps.

My dogs are in the house so I have no idea on the flies. It did seem to burn both my dogs skin upon application and irritated them for quite a while.

Will this help my fly infestation (have no idea where they are coming from)? I kill 10-15 flies a day!

I don't know about mosquitoes. I bought it to chase away mice. At first there was a mouse that still came into my apartment even though I have all 4 of these plugged in (one in each room). Haven't seen one in about 6-8 weeks so not sure if he got caught by someone or is being repelled by these. Have not seen a roach in months and my apartment was not sprayed during the last exterminator visit.

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 have only used these with hydroponic system. I Still have to combat gnats so I doubt it would get rid of all insects.

Yes it does. It is a natural way to repel mosquitos and other flying creatures.

Our experience: we use them like fly swatters. They don't "attract" mosquitos per se. They have a bluish light, but as the instructions were written by someone better versed in Mandarin, we don't see much value. Just their novelty is worth the purchase.

Yes, it kills mosquitoes and no-see-ums and has residual action. It does not repel new mosquitoes from moving into the area, but it keeps the population down for weeks.

Hi Jack,We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

We have several of these around our place, they work great. Place them at least 5-6 foot off the ground near entry doors to keep flies from entering the house. I only use them outside. You will know when the can is empty or the batteries need replaced because the flies will be back. I wish it had a day/night sensor so it wasn't wasted by spraying all night, but other than that, they work great!

The only thing I bought it for was spiders. I don't have Mosquitos, Roaches or Mice in my house so I can't help you with this. Yes it works for spiders.

I don't know - we aren't troubled by flies here, only mosquitoes. Also, I used this in the recipe for Wellness Mama's Bug Bar so cannot answer how it would work undiluted.

Mine only got mosqeeters and moths, until I put a smear of over-ripe banana on it. That attracted the flies, and it killed them as well. I used banana, because while most spoiling food smells very bad, bananas just smell like banana while they decompose. Mine is by my pond, which is my refuge, and I dont like excess bugs or bad smells in the area.

not sure about mosquitos but the bifen xts 25.1% kills a lot of insects including stink bugs!

Forget about it. I have been meaning to update my review. It zaps and pops . . . the fly drops . . . ten seconds later, the fly is in the air. It is good for mosquitos but it takes two to three hits to kill a fly. Its not worth it.

I have no idea about drain flies, but it clears drains, albeit VERY slowly, and dissolves scum and buildup. It did NOT dissolve hair which I had to pull out of the PVC myself. Now, it should keep the drains clear and smelling better.
