Luvachicken Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well, the fly trap is nearly full again and I really don't want to find maggots in it again - it has only been up for a couple of weeks. I was wondering if you could tip the contents through a sieve and keep the liquid part to use again ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 The stench will blow your socks off. I would urge you to not bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Sorry, only just got back on here. Thanks you two - hubby emptied the contents into a carrier bag with holes in to strain the offending stuff and put the liquid back in. Well done him I say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 It will be interesting to hear if it still does its job, as it no longer has that lovely whiff of carrion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I dug a big hole in my pony muck heap and buried the whole lot maggots and all!!! So far my dogs haven't found it which I was most worried about This time next year it will be on someone's garden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlotta Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Where would anyone suggest buying refills for fly traps. Mine is looking pretty full! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Egluntine, it does still whiff and it is still catching lots of flies - they are just a bit lower down I got my refills when I ordered the fly trap - they come in little canisters like the old film rolls . Good job my hubby has a strong stomach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penelope Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I've just returned from holiday to find mine full to the top with a stench emitting from the garden like a whale has died in the garden!! We were doing a run to the dump so I put it in a tub with a lid. I dropped it in the bottom of a new skip at the dupm & had was so embarresed when the lid came off, spilling its contents. I legged it before the stench & swarm of flys followed me! Penelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
