Catchmaster Fly Ribbon 20 Pack, Fly Strips Indoor Sticky Hanging Fly Tape

We bought the Catchmaster Sticky Fly Trap Ribbon to use in our backyard/patio area as an odorless accompaniment to the Rescue Fly Trap that we have by our garbage can area (which is about 30' from our back patio.) The Rescue Fly Trap does an AMAZING job at catching and killing flies and luring them away from our back patio area so we can hang out, eat, whatever. For anyone who has used the RFT, you know how well they work, but disposing of them is awful due to the disgusting stench. We hung a Catchmaster strip by itself in our garden area. It's been up for about 2 weeks, and has not caught much of anything. However, when we hung a Catchmaster strip on the hanger hook used for the Rescue Fly Trap, LOOK AT THE RESULTS! The photo on the left (blue sky in background) was taken early on a cool Sunday morning just before disposal. The RFT has been up for a week, and is loaded with dead flies in the bag. The Catchmaster strip was hung Thursday morning, so it was only up for 3 days. When used with something like the RFT, the Catchmaster works GREAT! The Rescue Fly Trap lures in flies like crazy and whips them into a frenzy, but not all of them find their way into the bag. The Catchmaster strip gives the flies a place to land, and has increased the extermination rate significantly! We have to replace the Catchmaster strip 2-3 times per week since it works so well along with the RFT. The photo on the right was taken on Monday evening, about 36 hours after both the RFT and Catchmaster were hung on the previous Sunday morning. Both products doing their jobs extremely well. We highly recommend both products. BTW, there is no smell with the Catchmaster even when it's loaded with dead flies (and disposed of timely.)

These work amazing. We hang them in our garage and they even have a little loop to hang them. VERY sticky, great results catching flies, no wear smell. We just throw them out when finished. Highly recommend, will always stay stocked on these.

I’ve been happy with these fly ribbons overall. Most of them caught a surprising number of flies, and they definitely helped reduce the problem inside my apartment . They are easy to hang and don’t have any strong odor. The only reason I’m not giving a perfect review is that one of the ribbons barely caught anything while the others worked great. I think that particular one may not have had enough adhesive on it. Aside from that, the rest have worked really well, and I would buy them again if I needed more.

When they stay intact, they work. Opening the product: When gently twisting while pulling on the provided red tab, the red tab has broken free of the sticky ribbon on two rolls and three other times the sticky ribbon has ripped off of the base. I've been using this type of product for years and when I say I'm pulling and twisting the sticky ribbon out gently, I mean gently. I've thrown away as many rolls as I've used. Will not buy again. Update Aug 2022 - thinking that I may have gotten a bad/dried out batch on my first purchase, I bought another (the flies and bugs this summer are bad and drove me to a second purchase) and was pleasantly surprised. I haven't had a single cartridge fail from this new batch. Hanging these up works, but I found another way to use them. I put my dogs' poop in the outside trash can and leave the lid off to attract the flies. I then lay down 2-3 of these strips loosely on top of the poop. The amount of flies caught is fantastic. I have to flip the fly strips over as the top side has no more vacancy after 2 days.

It does NOT attract flies at all. Flies were actually avoiding the ribbon. They charge EXTRA for allegedly some stuff that they claimed to have applied on the ribbon for luring flies. I felt I was defauded. Another thing is that I tried to lure flies to the ribbon by shining a flashlight by it and successfully had a fly landing on it but guess what the fly just flew right off the ribbon to my total surprise. Total garbage product.

Seems sticky enough, but when pulling it down slowly, the paper keeps ripping. Thought I was just pulling it down too fast at first, but no matter how slow I go, the paper seems to rip before it is all out of the tube. I'll try a different brand the next time.

very sticky

These are a necessity when living near 3 hog farms!! And esay to install and replace in my party barn!

Does not work. Don't waste your money. Flies are not attracted to it.
