Rescue Reusable Outdoor Fly Trap

The Rescue Reusable Outdoor Fly Trap turns 20,000 dead flies into a contractor’s best investment in outdoor pest control. This reusable fly trap catches up to 20,000 flies per trap with nothing but water and a food-based attractant — no poisons, no chemicals, no safety concerns around livestock or food areas.

For Montana’s extensive agricultural operations — from dairy barns to cattle feedlots to sheep facilities — this trap delivers industrial-scale fly control. The economics make sense: one trap handles an entire season, refill packets provide ongoing control, and the durable plastic construction survives Montana’s temperature swings year after year.

The Water-Activated System That Actually Works

The water-activated, food-based attractant contains no killing agents or poisons. Flies enter through the specialized lid design, can’t find their way out, and drown in the water below. Simple mechanics that work.

This matters for agricultural operations where chemical restrictions apply near food production areas.

The trap fills to a marked line with water. Drop in the lure pouch. Hang it up. The fast-acting lure attracts hundreds of common fly species — house flies, blow flies, flesh flies, the whole lineup that plagues Montana livestock operations.

Strategic Placement Makes or Breaks Performance

Here’s what the manufacturer won’t emphasize enough: this trap must be placed at least 20 feet away from home entrances, patios, and decks. The odor isn’t subtle. One reviewer put it bluntly: ‘The smell isn’t very pleasant… move them 20-40 feet away.’

Optimal placement means positioning in a shaded, well-ventilated spot. The trap works across Montana’s varied agricultural settings:

• Barns, stables, and livestock areas (poultry, hogs, sheep, dairy, beef cattle)
• Dog runs and kennels
• Garbage bins and compost piles
• Back fences and perimeter areas

This is outdoor use only — not for indoor use due to strong odor. The brand makes separate products for indoor fly problems.

Real Performance From Real Users

With 4.5 stars across 4,000+ ratings, contractors and agricultural operators have field-tested this trap thoroughly. Users report: ‘This thing caught so many flies within the first hour!’

The trap’s efficiency creates its own challenge. In high-infestation areas, it can fill up within 10-14 days. That’s not a design flaw — that’s 20,000 flies not bothering livestock or contaminating feed. When full or the attractant is spent (usually 30 days), empty, rinse, and refill.

Refill packets are economical and simple to use. The trap works specifically with ‘RESCUE! Fly Trap Refill’ (Model FTR) packets designed for the original containers.

Installation Takes Two Minutes

1. Open the trap lid and drop the water-soluble lure pouch inside.
2. Add water to the fill line on the container.
3. Secure the lid and hang or place the trap outdoors.

The kit includes the reusable plastic container/trap, one water-soluble lure pouch (initial bait), and an instruction guide.

The Bottom Line for Montana Operations

At 20,000 flies per trap and season-after-season durability, this trap solves real problems for real agricultural operations. The non-toxic design means placement flexibility around livestock and food areas. The reusable construction beats throwing away plastic traps every few weeks.

For Montana’s livestock facilities, kennels, and agricultural operations dealing with serious fly pressure, the combination of capacity, safety, and reusability makes this the logical choice. Just keep it 20+ feet from anywhere humans gather, and let it work.

FAQ

How long does each refill packet last? The attractant typically lasts 30 days before needing replacement. High-infestation areas might fill the trap’s 20,000-fly capacity before the attractant expires.

Can this trap be used indoors? No. This product is for outdoor use only due to its strong odor. For indoor fly problems, the brand recommends the FLY TRAPSTIK or FLYPAD.

What’s included with the initial purchase? The trap comes with the reusable plastic container, one water-soluble lure pouch for initial use, and an instruction guide.

How often should the trap be emptied? Monitor regularly and empty when full or when the attractant is spent (usually 30 days). In high-infestation areas, the trap can fill completely within 10-14 days.

What return policy applies? Amazon offers a 30-day return guarantee; Home Depot offers a 90-day return window. The trap is designed for ‘seasons of use’ though specific manufacturer warranty duration isn’t publicly listed beyond retailer return windows.
