Flies Be Gone Non-Toxic Fly Traps
Flies Be Gone outdoor traps use a non-toxic Ultra Biomass bait to lure flies in and hold them, drawing the swarm away from your patio, garden, and animal areas without any poison.
The Flies Be Gone fly trap is a poison-free way to clear flies from patios, barns, kennels, and garden areas — no insecticide, no zapper, no sticky mess. Each trap's Ultra Biomass bait mimics a fly's natural food and a warm spot to lay eggs, so flies crawl in and can't get back out; up to 85% of the catch is female, which helps thin the next generation. A single trap can pull in up to 20,000 flies over four to six weeks within a 50–100 yard range, and it works on house flies, horse flies, stable flies, blow flies, cluster flies, and more. The trap contents are biodegradable, making it part of a broader approach to non-toxic pest control for your yard and garden.
Choose the original disposable trap to hang and toss when full, or the reusable barrel trap with refill bait if you fight flies every season. Set up takes seconds — add the bait, a quart of water, and a pinch of soil, then hang the trap at least five feet up in direct sun, where the heat activates the scent.
Which Flies Be Gone Trap Should I Get?
Pick the disposable trap if you want the simplest option for a single fly season — fill it, hang it, and replace the whole unit once it's full. Choose the reusable barrel trap if flies are an every-summer problem: it's built to be emptied and re-baited, and a refill bait 2-pack keeps it running for less than buying new traps each time. For an indoor-friendly, chemical-free routine, pair your traps with non-toxic pest control for the home and plant-based St. Gabriel Organics treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Flies Be Gone safe to use around pets and kids?
Yes. Flies Be Gone is non-toxic, poison-free, and insecticide-free — it works with bait rather than chemicals, and the contents are biodegradable. Hang it out of reach and away from doors so flies are drawn outdoors, not in.
Where should I hang a Flies Be Gone trap?
Hang it at least five feet off the ground in direct sunlight, since the sun's heat activates the bait and spreads the scent. Place it about 25 feet from the patios, doors, or animal areas you want to protect so it pulls flies away from where you spend time.
How long does one trap last?
A single trap stays active for about four to six weeks, or until it's full. The disposable trap is replaced as a whole unit; the reusable barrel trap is emptied and re-baited with the refill 2-pack.
Disposable trap or reusable barrel — what's the difference?
The disposable trap is hung and thrown away once full, ideal for occasional fly problems. The reusable barrel trap is designed to be emptied and re-baited season after season, which is more economical if you battle flies every summer.
What flies does it catch?
House flies, horse flies, stable flies, blow flies, cluster flies, face flies, flesh flies, green bottle flies, horn flies, green head flies, black flies, and fruit flies — the common nuisance and livestock flies found around yards, barns, and gardens.
