OK - the ad says that the "cube" (really just a long piece of cardboard that you fold into a square) keeps flys at bay... and it really does! I gave it a shot because I don't like using flyspray, and thought for under $5 it wouldn't be a tragedy if it didn't work, but it's good! Well worth it if you don't want to use spray in your house. It just has to be kept well out of a child's reach if you've got kiddies on the move. ------------- Andie |

Nah, just flies - it has a fly attractant and poison on the inside of it - they fly over for a snack, and  ------------- Andie |

Hmmm, may just invest in some of those.
But when it comes to ants the (very lovely) pest control guy has been back 4 times to treat our place and still can't get rid of them  ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Oh, I might check that out too! The expra does a pretty good job most of the time, but just outside there are heaps of flies which is not nice when you want a bbq! -------------

I'm in the pooper if it doesn't work now, Annie! They don't die in the box - it just attracts them (which is why it wouldn't work outdoors) and poisons them - I saw 2 flies just drop from the air! It hasn't attracted any extras inside either, not that I know of anyway ------------- Andie |

Oh-oh... well don't I just feel like a bit of a nob... they seem to work really really well. For a couple of weeks. Ours seems pretty ineffective now (lasts 2 months, my butt!). Bummer!! ------------- Andie |

| We have had a couple of the boxes in the living room for a week now and I don't find them at all effective. No reduction at all in flies. I'd rather just give them a quick spray rather than hope that they might go to the box and then fly off and die. lol |

I have found mine quite good, but yesterday, the flies were terrible, so I am thinking maybe the box is getting past it? We have a expra or whatever they are called in the lounge that reduces the flies heaps (bliking animals attract them) but weren't keen on having one in the kitchen nor do I like using spray in there. Over all, I think I will keep using these and see how they go..although I have found they tend to die near the box, which is on my bench.. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |
