Rescue Disposable Fly Trap

The Rescue Disposable Fly Trap captures up to 20,000 flies in the regular version or 40,000 flies in the Big Bag version — numbers that matter when you’re dealing with Montana’s summer livestock operations. This trap works by adding water to activate the built-in lure, then letting it do its job without any maintenance or refilling.

The appeal for contractors and agricultural customers is straightforward: zero pesticides, just food and feed-grade ingredients. The Big Bag version weighs about 0.2 pounds empty, making it easy to transport multiple traps to job sites or remote pastures.

The Big Bag’s dimensions suggest a trap that’s substantial without being unwieldy — important when you’re hanging these from barn rafters or fence posts. The trap targets hundreds of the most prevalent fly species, which means it’s not picky about which flies it catches.

Why Chemical-Free Matters

The trap uses only food and feed-grade ingredients with no killing agents or poisons. It’s safe for pets since it relies solely on food-grade ingredients to lure flies. Flies are attracted by the water-activated lure and then drown in water inside the trap.

This approach matters in Montana’s agricultural settings. Dairy operations can’t risk chemical contamination. Horse facilities need fly control that won’t harm animals investigating the traps. The trap is designed for outdoor environments such as barns, animal pens, compost piles, and around livestock areas, providing an eco-friendly, chemical-free fly management option.

The trade-off comes in placement. These traps should hang 20 feet away from living spaces due to odor. That smell is doing its job — attracting flies — but it’s not something you want near your back door. Some users suggest spraying the outside with fly bait for extra effectiveness, though the trap works fine without it.

Professional Applications

The trap’s target locations include backyards, farms, patios, gardens, and garages. Its durable design makes it suitable for outdoor use around barns, stables, animal pens, compost piles, garbage bins, and other fly-prone areas.

Setup couldn’t be simpler. Add water to the bag to activate the built-in lure, hang the trap outdoors, and dispose of the entire bag when full or after the lure is exhausted. The hanging design is suitable for trees, hooks, or fences, best suited for outdoor environments where odor is not an issue.

The disposable design eliminates the worst part of fly control — dealing with thousands of dead flies. When the trap fills up, you toss the whole thing. No dumping, no cleaning, no touching decomposing insects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many flies can these traps really hold? The regular trap captures up to 20,000 flies, while the Big Bag version holds up to 40,000 flies. These aren’t marketing numbers — the bags are sized to physically contain that volume of flies.

What makes flies enter the trap? The trap uses food and feed-grade ingredients as lure. A water-activated lure is built into the bag, so you just add water to start the attraction process.

Can these be used near livestock? Yes. The trap contains no pesticides or killing agents, using only food and feed-grade ingredients. It’s safe for pets as it relies solely on food-grade ingredients.

How far should traps hang from buildings? Traps should be placed 20 feet away from living spaces due to odor. The smell attracts flies effectively but isn’t pleasant for humans.

What’s the setup process? Add water to activate the built-in lure, hang the trap outdoors, then dispose of the entire bag when full. The whole process takes about a minute per trap.
