was the bag cut or torn anywhere if so I'm sure amazon will take care of your problem.just call costumer service , they're nice people and will handle your problem.I'm sure they will inspect this product and take care of it.

I never have. I agree with John Marietta. You should call customer service and talk to them. They need to notify the seller too that you bought these from as maybe they have some contaminated bags since yours have this in them.

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.

I buried mine in my garden, but other options might be to bury it deep in your compost pile or empty the trap into a bag and then dump into your yard debris recycle bin right before pick-up. (If your trash/recycling company allows you to add "food scraps" to your recycling.) One warning - new flies are attracted by the smell of the bait, so be prepared for flies to swarm around the empty trap until you get a chance to clean it and to be very interested in where ever you dump the old bait. (Burying it might sound like over-kill, but even a few inches of dirt seemed to make the new flies lose interest and go elsewhere.)

I bought 4 bags at my neighborhood lowes. I ended up putting a bag and a half in it for my son. I have had it for two seasons now and finally wen t through the last bag.

That is not normal. It might be that there was to much moisture in the environment and that a fly got into the package. That food should be thrown away.

I have emptied the trap twice and not found any. I do have plenty of them but not in the trap. Moths and Mosquitos only thus far.

The only critters I've found has been a few fruit flies this last week, and very few considering the ones around my vegetables and fruit in the basket. I have been really happy so far, no others bugs but these. Thankfully they only are around for a week or two each year. Hope this helps with your decision. I'm really happy with this product so far.

Well, nature has you. Maggots are normal. The bin is too wet. Be sure the door is shut tight, don't wet the bin any further and be sure it's in a sunny location. Assume you know that no meat products are to be put into the bin? If you put anything animal in it you also draw lots of flies. I'd open the bin and smash the maggots up if it freaks you out, turn it over a few times and cover the bin so the refuse doesn't get any wetter before it breaks down. Also, dump the bottom holder. It's likely full of water that draws all kinds of bugs.

I have two answers, so pick the one you like best :). (1) Maggots, or larvae of any kind, are NORMAL. I don't actually have any in my bin at the moment, but I wouldn't be alarmed if I did. Flies are attracted to decaying material and lay their eggs in it. It's (going all Lion King on you) part of the circle of life. They're helping break up the compost for you. (2) If you don't like the idea of maggots in your compost, yes, being more wet attracts them more. Add more brown material and flies should be less attracted.

Hi Zeroid, Darn, I did not keep the bag that they came in. I remember reading it on the package but do not have a clue what it said. It did not upset me...that is about all that I can tell you. John.

I did not use the traps for long as I have many songbirds in the garden and they were getting stuck to it - they were curious about it - thought it was something to eat. Not good. I do not have blueberry maggots so don't know about that.

Hello, I did not count them and the bag doesn't have a number. I already made one potholder and there are over 100 left.

Find the source of the fruit flies and throw it out. I used the trap and 3 days later no more flies. We had a bag of potatoes under the sink that was the source. The trap worked!

The last bag I had lasted less than 2 weeks unopened before I noticed it was filled with bugs

My trap had a billion flies, did not notice any other insects...think the bait is too stinky!

In a mason jar in my trashcan. The nasty ones with maggots I just throw away and get new ones.

Although I've not tried the bags - I have been very impressed with this system. I trapped many quarts of japanese beetles last year using this product. Once the container is full, I submerge it in a pail of hot water to kill the insects - then put them in my compost bin. There is nothing to replace with this system - you can use it over and over again.
