Does this work with regular house flies?

It didn't work for Mosquitos. And it only is supposed to be used outside. It's catches random flying insects. I didn't notice any flies in it tho. It's a super waste of money for any bug killing device. Save your money.

Yes, it will catch fruit flies. I'll have some on the tape the next day when I didn't even know I had any.

We have several of these around our place, they work great. Place them at least 5-6 foot off the ground near entry doors to keep flies from entering the house. I only use them outside. You will know when the can is empty or the batteries need replaced because the flies will be back. I wish it had a day/night sensor so it wasn't wasted by spraying all night, but other than that, they work great!

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.

No. it will kill a small fly but the big ones ya gotta get close to. It's a novelty fly killer that's great for guys who like to hunt flys in the off season

Not sure it's necessarily designed for flies of that size, but we've nabbed some pretty giant blowflies/carrion flies in ours...worth a shot to check it out. Do be aware that the "BIG" in "big bag" refers only to the size of the bag for this product.

Mine came with a fly attractant you can place on the outer cage. It needs to be replaced periodically.

I would go with the Click to open expanded view I would go with the Permethrin SFR for the flies. I have used both the house fly is a hard one to get rid of.

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.

We have caught flies with it but they can fly pretty quick. It works great on brown mamurated stink bug which we have a lot of

I would not put this fly trap inside the home. First the smell of the chemical in the bag is putrid. Secondly, fliesare not clean and you can't be sure of what they carry. I use a product for inside the home that I get at Ace Hardware.Sorry, I don't know the name of it. It is a rectangular bar (approx. 6") glue stick. It comes w/ few tiny pellets which have no ordor. The flies are definitely attracted to it. Hope this helps.

Fruit Flies and Gnats wiggle their way free, so I doubt blackflies would get stuck. Tiny whiteflies will stick to the trap, but not much else. I haven't used them outdoors, so I'm not sure how well they work other insects. The local home pest control sells little glue boards made to catch spiders. Those things seem to catch anything. I've seen several large house flies stuck to them, so they should work if you can find them.

I would not use this product again. It attracted flies that I never had around my home and flies seem to appear from all four corners of the globe!

In my experience, yes. We had a terrible fruit fly problem that was not going away with the traps. I used the spray 1X and it worked. All gone.

I had little luck with the little plastic screw-top traps. I had excellent results using the small bags. I do not know enough about flies to identify what I trapped, but many were tiny.

I am not sure. I suppose it would if they are attracted to the UV light. It works pretty much like a bug light but instead of zapping the bug, it gets stuck on the fly paper.

I don't believe so. I never saw a housefly in the trap. The method of attraction isn't aimed at houseflies.
