[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 115542, member: 539"] Bless your heart! I can only imagine. :shock: :( I'll bet you were, and I can't say as I blame you for entertaining thought of Clorox! YUK!!! I have never, in my whole entire life, smelled anything that stinks as bad as the fly traps do. I would take an abcess or dead animal any day of the week! But, I cannot even begin to imagine how many hundreds of thousands of flys I trap each week. Each female fly lays 500 eggs, apprx 10-20 % of which hatch. Think of the flies I'm eliminating (I shouldn't say 'I'm', I should say the traps are eliminating). That in itself makes it possible to deal with the smell. One small trick I have learned about dumping fly-traps - if you have irrigation, dump them in a field row while the water is running (added bonus - the dead flies make excellent fertilizer, at least according to the literature that comes with the traps). They are whisked away so fast, you usually can't smell them. Plus, the water is coming out of the pipe so fast and hard that it will literally scrub the trap jar - inside and out - and refill with little to no problems as long as you have a good hold on it.
