How It Works
Take catching flies to the MAX. The RESCUE! Fly Trap Max is our biggest fly trap yet. It comes with one water-soluble lure packaged inside a foil pouch. Just empty the contents of the foil pouch into the trap and add water. Lured by the scent, flies enter through the green top cap and drown in the water. Refills for the Fly Trap Max are sold in single-use pouches, allowing the trap to be reused over and over.
FAQs
What is the Fly Trap Max designed for?
The Fly Trap Max is the largest outdoor fly trap from RESCUE!, built for areas with heavy-fly problems like big backyards, barns, stables or outdoor feed/storage areas. Its reusable design is economical and easy to use, and it can be refilled and reused season after season.
How does the Fly Trap Max work to trap flies?
Fly Trap Max uses a potent water-soluble lure packet that that attracts flies with a powerful odor. Once attracted to the trap, flies enter through the one-way entrance structure where they can't escape and eventually drown in the liquid.
Where should I place or hang the Fly Trap Max for best results?
Hang or place the trap outdoors at least ~20 feet (about 6 m) away from living or gathering areas such as patios or decks. Good spots include near garbage bins, compost piles, kennels, barns or along fences. Fly Trap Max's lid includes a built in handle, which makes it easy to carry to new locations.
Is the Fly Trap Max safe for pets and children?
Like all RESCUE! Fly Traps, Fly Trap Max uses a lure made from food and feed-grade ingredients. Nevertheless, it's a good idea to place it out of reach of children and pets and follow the label instructions.
What kinds of flies will this trap catch?
It is formulated to catch a wide variety of nuisance and “filth” flies including house flies, blow flies, green and blue bottle flies, flesh flies and other common outdoor flying pests.
Can the Fly Trap Max be reused or is it disposable?
Fly Trap Max is reusable: after use, you can empty, rinse and refill it with a new lure packet and water for multiple seasons—making it economical and more sustainable.
Can I use the Fly Trap Max indoors?
No — Fly Trap Max is intended for outdoor use only. Due to the lure's strong odor and the volume of flies it collects, it should be placed outside and away from indoor living spaces.
How long will it take before I see fewer flies?
In many cases fly numbers will drop quickly once the trap is set up in the right location. However, results may vary based on fly population size, environmental conditions and how well other fly attractants (like trash, feed or manure) are managed.
What should I do to keep the trap effective?
Maintain it by replacing lure refills when needed, emptying the trap if it becomes full, and keeping the surrounding area clean (remove or reduce fly-attracting sources such as garbage, animal feed or standing water). Also check the trap periodically.
Why might I still see flies even after setting up the Fly Trap Max?
It may take a short period of time for the flies to find the trap and for the lure to start drawing them away from other attractants. Also, if there are alternate attractive sources nearby (trash, feed, manure), flies may still hang around until those are addressed. Placing the trap in a strategic spot and reducing competing attractants will improve results.
