A: Howdy neighbor! To dispose of the caught flies, you can simply dump them straight on the ground or into a compost pile because the all-natural bait contains zero toxic chemical poisons. You can absolutely feed the mountain of dry, dehydrated flies from the main 5-gallon bucket to your chickens as a safe, high-protein treat. However, you must throw away the wet, smelly sludge from the small central core canister, as that stagnant water can harbor harmful bacteria that could make your flock sick.

A: This is just the bucket top lid. You'll need to purchase a RESCUE! Reusable Outdoor Fly Trap (SKU #2212213) or POP! Fly Trap (SKU #1262434) separately, along with a standard 5-gallon bucket to create the complete fly trap system.

A: The Rescue Fly Bucket Top is designed to fit onto a standard 5-gallon bucket, and its width is listed as 12.25 inches (approximately 31.1 cm). The product works with most standard 5-gallon buckets, which typically have a top diameter ranging from 11 to 13 inches (28 to 33 cm). Your measurement of 30.5 cm falls within this range

A: No, the Fly Bucket Top will not work on deer flies or horse flies, but our Deck and Patio Fly TrapStik will.

A: Yes, the flies caught in the bucket can be fed to chickens. Thank you for asking!

A: Hello, thank you for your question. The Rescue Fly Bucket Top is designed with a one-way entry system that attracts flies in but makes it very difficult for them to escape. While the top may not be airtight, it’s not meant to be — sealing it completely would block the scent of the attractant, which is what lures the flies in. The design ensures strong airflow to disperse the bait’s odor while still trapping the flies effectively once they enter.
