Do you know if it's the same one advertised in the Smallholder? I laughed out loud at that one, because their slogan is 'the biggest thing since flies bred!'... it doesn't take much! :razz:

mums neighbour had a few of those and didnt ever empty them, one of the other neighbours ended up banging on the door and asking them ever so politely to empty the things becuse the smell was horrendous!!
remember to empty them dave or ur neighbours will never forgive you :shock: (though it might be a good thing with some neighbours :shock: :-D )

they dont seem to smell at the moment
but the instructions say
place at least 15mtr from living enviroment
bait lasts up tp 12 weeks
so after 12 weeks or so i would think that
the only attraction as bait would be dead decaying
smelly flys
so i will take your advice and remove after 12 weeks

HHHmmmmmmm, wondering if they work for Aussie flys, persistant basta*ds!!! (Not unlike our cricket players......or ex-soap stars come to think of it :shock: )

We've just come into our spring, and am already plotting my first summer of "pests" in the coup and how to avoid or eliminate!

Dirty little sticky flies in summer really drive me insane, hate to think what the "*&^%$#@s" will do to the girls comfortable existance!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will try to source a similar product locally!

cheers
