Be careful with application
By John on September 7, 2011
Verified Purchase
Due to the contents of this bait, surfaces sprayed can grow mold. Avoid spraying permant structures such as the side of your house. Spray on disposable material or containers that can be washed. House flies love the colors blue and black, so small squares of blue cardboard or other obsorbent materal work well, as well as things such as your garbage cans and recycle bins that can be washed. Also, mix up the smallest amount possible. I have had sucess in mixing up a spray bottle and re-shaking and using previously mixed up product, but I have been told that the mixed product should be used within 24 hours for optimum affect. This may mean that you might have to weigh out the product on a sensitive scale to get the right amount, e.g, 2 oz per 16oz of water would mean only 1/8 of that package (1/4 oz) in 2 oz of water in a micro spray bottle to treat everything you need to treat around your house and use up all the product at once. I try to spray blue peices of cardboard hanging in places where it does not get exposed to a lot of rain, such as under overhangs as well as inside my garbage can.

Best fly control bait ever!
By John on March 5, 2011
Verified Purchase
I work for a large pest control company in Florida and this is the same product that they use. Last year, we had flies all over our trash cans and recycle bins because their colors attract house flies. Due to their high numbers, dozens would always get in with the doors being opened and closed all day long. This year, after applying on disposable material near the cans and on the inside of the garbage can (have to wash it now and then anyway), we have seen only one or two flies, and those were probably the ones that haven't died yet. I mixed up just a small part of the packet with 2 oz of water (mixed by directions), and I still have enough to last for a long time! Great product!

Maxforce Fly Spot Bait
By Gary on August 28, 2011We had an apocalyptic infestation of flies after the fields next to us were spread with cage house waste. The first wave came just after the spreading, the second larger wave after the next hatch. My son, who at the time worked for a pest control company recommended Maxforce. The first time we painted it on different surfaces. It worked, however we knew we had to do something bigger and better after the second wave of flies. We mixed it and put it in spray bottles. We sprayed a lot of surfaces and flies were dying by the thousands. We had to keep cleaning the porch and entrance ways with the gas blower to prevent dragging large amounts of dead flies into our home. The spray bottle application worked well.

This is good stuff
By Mark on December 13, 2012

In short, we had a sudden infestation of flies. This was easy to mix, and easy to apply. I sprayed it in several places on the walls around the apartment. In an hour, the flies started dropping like... well, flies. By the next day, more than half the flies were gone - dead. Inside of three days, all but a couple of flies had found the bait and died. Two weeks later, we are still fly-free. I would recommend this product to anyone.

MAXFORCE FLY SPOT BAIT
By Mike on September 19, 2012This product is the best I have ever used. You can have 50-100 flies in a building and spray just a spot here and there on the floor and walls and within 5 min the flies are gone. what im amazed by is you see very few dead on the floor. I dont know where they die at but who cares it makes my customers very happy. the five stars are not only for the product but for do my own pest control also for doing such a great job with there service to use the customers. lic in wv & ohio thank you mike

Not As Effective As Is Advertized
By William on June 25, 2012I mixed the Maxforce Fly Spot Bait as the directions instructed me to in a spray bottle. I sprayed several spots around the area that was infested, where there was less direct sun and little wind to effect the results and the flies seem to land on everything but the treated areas! I won't say that it's completely ineffective but it certainly isn't as effective as I thought it would be. I saw a fly land on the bait and stayed there for several minutes. I guess he didn't know that "Maxforce" is supposed to kill flies within 60 seconds!?!

This stuff works!
By Sheila on June 12, 2012My kids raise show pigs and this year we are having a terrible problem with flies. I ordered one package of Maxforce to see if it works and I mixed it up and painted it on the wires and top bars of the pig pens. Within 60 seconds there were dead flies dropping everywhere. Within a day the floors were covered with dead flies. I immediately ordered a bigger supply! My only complaint is that the fly control only lasts for about a week and the flies return if you don't re-apply it.

Hooray for Maxforce
By Nancy on May 31, 2012House flies were driving me nuts. While a mesh screen helped, the little buggers were still sneaking inside. After application of Maxforce Fly Spot Bait, houseflies disappeared. It worked miracles and saved my sanity.

Fly Spot Bait
By Joanne on May 29, 2012I use this product in my horse barn and found it to work fairly well, however the Maxforce granular bait that comes in a pail works much better for the tremendous amount of flies that visit a horse barn. I found that it works better if the bait is moist so I put it on a pile of manure in the morning and by the end of the day there were alot of dead flies. It works better than any other fly product I've tried. I would recommend this product, especially to horse owners, and we know flies!
