Fly Trap, Big Bag

How It Works

The RESCUE! Big Bag Fly Trap contains a water-activated lure that flies find fast. Simply add water and hang to start catching flies. Food and feed additives are combined with other dried ingredients to make the RESCUE! lure. Lured by the scent, flies enter through the green top cap and drown in the water.

Pet Safety

Our Fly Traps do not use any killing agents or poisons. They rely on luring flies with food and feed-grade ingredients, then trapping the flies until they expire on their own.

What It Catches

Get rid of flies and keep them away from you and your animals. The RESCUE! Big Bag Fly Trap gets rid of the flies most commonly found in agricultural areas -- including house flies, blow flies, blue and green bottle flies, flesh flies, and many others. 

Where To Hang It

All our water-based fly traps are for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. They control flies outside and keep them from getting indoors. We recommend hanging the trap around 20 feet away from home entrances and 20 feet away from patios or decks. 

Good locations for this trap:

  • Along a back fence or toward the back of your yard
  • Near a dog run or kennel 
  • Near garbage bins or dumpsters 
  • Near a compost pile 
  • Near a campsite 
  • In a barn with good air ventilation 
  • Around poultry, hogs, sheeps, dairy and beef cattle areas

  • Tide, Oxydol, or Gain for Clothes and Hands
  • Odor Mute for Concrete and Patio Bricks
  • Nature's Miracle
  • Petzyme
  • Simple Solution Pet and Odor Remover
  • One Earth Natural
  • Biokleen Bac Out
  • White Vinegar Rinse; Mix Half & Half with Water
  • Baking Soda, Vinegar and/or Lemon Juice
The Big Bag Fly Trap is designed to target heavy outdoor fly populations, including common nuisance species like house flies, blow flies, blue and green bottle flies, flesh flies and other flies found around barns, stables, animal pens and compost areas. It's important to note that this trap will not catch biting flies. For biting flies, the best trap to use is our Deck & Patio Fly TrapStik.
The trap is activated by adding water. Inside is a water-activated lure (with food and feed-grade ingredients) that attracts flies. They enter through the top cap and drown in the water below. Once the trap is full or dries out, it can easily be disposed in your regular outdoor garbage can.
Use the trap outdoors only, ideally at least 20 feet away from living or gathering areas (like patios or home entrances). Good spots include along back fences, near kennels, garbage bins, compost piles, barns or animal runs.
This trap uses no chemical sprays or poisons; it attracts flies with a water-activated lure made of food and feed-grade ingredients. Nevertheless, it should be placed out of reach of children and pets.
In optimal conditions, Big Bag Fly Trap can catch up to 40,000 flies.
You should check the trap periodically. When it becomes full of flies, the water evaporates significantly, or the lure loses attractant strength, it’s time to replace/dispose of it. Most traps will last around 30 days before they need to be replaced.
These traps are for outdoor use only. The attractant lure has a very strong and unpleasant odor that you wouldn't want in your house or any other enclosed space. The odor is strong enough that most indoor fly problems will be drawn outside, so even if your fly problem is indoors, using one of our outdoor fly traps in your yard can help.
Even with the trap in place, some flies may still be present initially because it takes time to lure the population away from alternate attractants (e.g., trash, manure, feed). Also, if the trap is placed incorrectly or other attractants nearby are stronger, flies may ignore the trap. Adjust location and reduce competing attractants.
The attractant begins working as soon as water is added and remains effective as long as water is present. Hot or harsh outdoor conditions (sun, wind) may reduce effectiveness faster, so placement in shaded or ventilated outdoor areas is beneficial.
– Hang the trap in the recommended location (outdoors, away from people areas). – Remove or reduce competing fly attractants (animal waste, open feed, standing water, trash). – Check the bag periodically; if the bag is full or the water has dried out, replace it.
