Does this actually kill flies or does it just trap them till they die? Also, Can this be used in home? or does it smell bad?

It traps them until they die. It's very effective but the downside is it stinks really bad and you don't want to hang it inside your house. We have 2 hanging by our garage doors and that's where most of the flies go.

I do not know if it contains a pesticide, I believe it just traps the flies which them die within 24 hours. I would not use it indoors as it has a pretty pungent odor. I have in hanging about 20 ft from the house and only smell it occasionally when the breeze is just right. One trap does not remove all the flies, I not sure that is possible, but it does keep them manageable. I have to replace the trap approximately every ten days as it is full by that time.

Yes, it will work for flies. But I would suggest that you keep all the poop picked up in the area and there will be no flies.

Mine only got mosqeeters and moths, until I put a smear of over-ripe banana on it. That attracted the flies, and it killed them as well. I used banana, because while most spoiling food smells very bad, bananas just smell like banana while they decompose. Mine is by my pond, which is my refuge, and I dont like excess bugs or bad smells in the area.

This would be great for your situation. I am not sure how the horses will do with the smell. It smells like rotting chicken so keep it away from the house and down wind from the horses and it should be fine. You will be amazed at how many flys get trapped in one bottle. We throw the entire bottle away and just order news ones. It gets so many flys I can't imagine cleaning it out. They go in, but they don't come out.

I am pretty sure the smell attracts more flies than you would normally see in the area where you hang the trap. The good thing is that the trap lures them so they don't fly near your windows or your patio table.

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.

I know it works for more than just common "house flies" because there are more "bugs" in it than just those. I believe I have seen some horse flies in the bag too, but am not 100% certain (I do know what a horse fly is, just not absolute that I've seen them in the bag). In my opinion, for the cost, it is definitely worth the try.

According to the instructions, it will work on flies. I personally do not have any experiences using the Azamax on flies so I cannot offer an opinion, just what the instruction booklet says. Perhaps a good jar or bag type fly trap would work better and be more cost effective. I've used those, not too pretty to look at once they start filling up, but they do work.

I've used it in my garage and in the hobby room on my property and to my knowledge it kills just about anything. I've been using it for the past two decades. I find dead roaches, crickets, spiders (you name it) in both buildings after using it. In my garage, I used 3 cans and it is a standard 2 car garage. Same size with the hobby room. I spread the cans out to make sure the building gets full coverage. Usually one treatment a year is enough to keep the building clear of bugs until the next treatment session.

Other answers tell most of the story. I will only add that the bait is heated by sunlight which spreads the odor. So if used indoors you would need a way to keep it warm. I half it sitting in a hot water bath. Yes the smell is vile, but the flies are worse and the trap works well.

It is easy to use and it kills any insects that try to crawl around our house. Just make sure the areas where you spray it along the baseboards and such that they are fully dry before small pets or children roam around. Hope this helps. But it's by far the best and only thing we use around our house.

I used it last summer (Tampa Bay area) and had good results. I put it in a pump sprayer and sprayed all around the doors, base of the house, on the walls, and deck. Not as many got in the house since they weren't hanging around the doors. With all our rains, I had to re spray every couple of days though. It seems to repel them for awhile. I didn't have as many getting in the house last season. If it looked like there was going to be a few days of no rain, I would spray the shrubbery too. You definitely need to strain the juice with some cheese cloth as you put it in the sprayer. It's garlic particles will clog the sprayer wand. I wore disposable gloves when handling the cheese cloth. That STRONG garlic smell will stick with you if you get it on you. It didn't get rid of them all, but it did help, and it's not toxic. Reapply as often as you like. Just don't spray the bees and butterflies directly.

I purchased this to catch flies when we go camping. It works very well luring all flies into the trap. make certain you hang it away from the area you sit as the smell is ghastly That is what lures the flies in

This product is used to kill insects in your home and garden. It is not for human consumption.

I have no idea since I bought it specifically for stink bugs and used it to spray the entire outside of the house. It worked pretty good for the infestation of stink bugs after we doubled the recommended dose. As far as mosquitos are concerned, it should help kill them but I can't be sure.

Donna, I have recently had great success with a product called the "Victor Fly Magnet." I have trapped and killed 100's, maybe even 1000's of flies with this thing. It's non poisonous. It worked so well for me that I purchased 2 more. It's made a huge difference on my deck.Victor M380 Fly Magnet 1-Quart Reusable Trap With Bait

I don't know. I got mine for mice inside, and it seems to work for flies and ants, but haven't tried it outside.If I were you, I'd check the Riddex Company, to ask them. Sorry, I couldn't really be of much help.
