Most flies are not active at night. Regarding many bad user reviews for this product, it has worked very well for me. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/07/science/07qna.html?_r=0

The light inside this is very dim, so no insect came inside. That is what my experience.

I bought two of these. I can tell you for sure that these traps don't do a single thing! They don't trap flies they don't trap mosquitoes all they do is burn electricity.

I used this last summer in NC to try and kill Yellow Fly's. I painted a couple of beach balls black and then put tanglefoot all over the ball. It did trap a mess of them.

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 would say yes, defective. Mine doesn't do that. And it may be a little scary, but the shock won't hurt you. Most of the time it can't even kill a fly. I use mine for mosquitos, gnats and fruit flies. Love it for those pests! Houseflies, it only knocks them silly for a second. They land on the floor, but fly away before you have a chance to get to them... just so you understand the shock is not dangerous to you.

I don't know. I got mine for mice inside, and it seems to work for flies and ants, but haven't tried it outside.If I were you, I'd check the Riddex Company, to ask them. Sorry, I couldn't really be of much help.

I got a ton of maggots once when I put an animal-based protein powder into my composter. You can boil water and pour it on the maggots as you see them; that will kill many of them on contact. However, they are spread all throughout the compost, so there are a lot more you don't see. However, it's good to kill as many as you can so you don't get inundated with flies. Here's an idea I just thought of: Leave the lid of your bin open and the birds will be more than happy to take care of the maggots for you! I wish that had occurred to me back when I had the problem.

Because stink bugs fly I would buy the Bengal Flying insect spray it kills a variety of flying insects it is very effective

I think not. It is for outside use only, and you wouldn't like the smell. Smells terrible that is why it draws the flies.

Suppose so - it should be used on areas with bad smells, drains, it did not kill the drain flies that we have.

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.

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

yes it works on all flies I make my own bait from dry yeast baking powder and a bit of sugar muck cheaper than what they sell . may take a day or 2 for the yeast to activate but when a few flies go in it will fill up quickly.

this particular product does not work for flies and mosquitos. works on ants, roaches, spiders, and several others in this bracket.

I doubt that it would have any effect on fruit flies. Maybe if you baited one of the traps with diluted fruit juice or fruit-flavored water, it might help. They are a real problem.

It stinks really bad so what flies are in the area will be caught. Works very well catching flies. I don't know about the whole neighborhood.

Yes, it will work for flies. But I would suggest that you keep all the poop picked up in the area and there will be no flies.
