I accidentally bought the one on the right by error. I thought it was for yellow jackets. I hung it up about 3 days ago and it's near full of flies. I hung the second one yesterday.
Ingredients:
egg solids
sucrose
Yeast
Just add water and it's pretty ripe in about 3 hrs. Directions say to use outdoors or in a well ventilated area, lol.
Yeah well it seems Im not the only one, I talked to a couple friend at SAMs yesterday and they said the same thing,, boom all at once big nasty looking flys, the one gal said she was cleaning stalls and they were eating her alive,, be nice ya pervs ,,, I mean ya wackem with a fly swatter and its like,, oh you talkin to me. Aww well this too shall pass
