Customer Rating: - Great product, but there are cheaper and comparable stuff out there.
I have great results using the Flies be gone fly trap. It took a couple of days to activate, but once after that it can traps inches of flies. However, I've tried a similar product from RESCUE (which is available at local hardware stores for only $5.00) which also worked as great. Maybe I have too many flies to begin with, which makes it impossible to separate the good from the excellent, but with the local availability and 1/3 of the cost, the other product wins hands down for me.

Customer Rating: - Need a LARGE yard
The trap does attract flies,but after a couple of days the odor was so offensive I had to take it down. I live in a subdivision,1/4 acre lot. I put it in four garbage bags,one inside the other & could still smell it. I breathed a sigh of relief when my sanitation people picked up my garbage.

Customer Rating: - Urban application a little different. Dog ownwers please read.
Urban
I have to say that this thing catches a lot of flies. The first day it caught fifty and after that it ramped up quickly to two or three hundred a day. But if you live in a city like I do you may not be able to get this thing far enough away from you. The instructions tell you to place it at least 35 feet from the area that you use. But 50 feet is probably better, as the flies are gathering in heavy numbers within 15 feet of the bait. After a few day the bait smell is also obvious at that distance. So if you have a large backyard (I do not) put the trap in the farthest corner. Or if you don't like your neighbors...
PETS
The bait is a smelly powdered protein meal that reminds me of dog kibble. My dog went on a sniffing frenzy when I received the box. She is also lured to the hanging bait. So if you have pets make sure they can't reach it. It's not toxic, but believe me, you wouldn't want to clean that mess.
FLIES
As far as the fly types it catches in my yard, 99.9% are green bottle and blue bottle flies (AKA blow flies) and a few house flies. I have observed many flesh flies lured to it but the trap cover has too narrow a gap for them to enter comfortably. You could leave the top off I suppose but the added water would evaporate quicker in the recommended direct sun. Other extremely tiny fly types I could not identify were also lured but in very few numbers.
Yes I spent a lot of time staring at the trap.

Customer Rating: - This product is wonderful!!
I absolutely love this product and recommend it highly. This is my second summer using it, and it does exactly what it claims. I just hung up my third one of this summer, and have to order some more. I go through about one a month. I tell people about it all the time and how great it is. It does have a nasty smell as it gets full, but it's well worth it. I only notice the smell when I mow the lawn under the tree it is hanging in, or if the wind is in the right (wrong) direction. It's not often a product exceeds my expectations, but this one does!
