10-Pack Fruit Fly Trap, Yellow Sticky Gnat Trap, 6x8 in | Indoor/Outdoor, For Flying Plant Insect Like Fungus Gnat, Whiteflies, Aphids, Leaf Miners, Twist Ties Included

These work extremely well for catching fruit flies and other small kitchen flies. They work much better than the liquid fruit fly catchers. They are sticky on both sides. I use them one side at a time. They are very sticky.

If you have orchids or other indoor plants, you likely have experienced fungus gnats. They are inert but annoying, just like fruit flies, but challenging to get rid of once you get them. I have lots of indoor plants, including orchids and bamboo. I wanted to find a non-chemical solution to my mild gnat problem. They love the moisture, but I'm not about to restrict hydration to my plants. I researched a few solutions and found this inexpensive, easy-to-use, super sticky set of yellow papers. Each sheet is generous in size and can be trimmed down for your needs. They do include sticks, but I don't bother with them. Instead, I trim two small rectangles and strategically place them close to the plants most affected by the gnats. They are sticky on both sides, so I can simply adhere them to the backside of the pot or the stand they are on. You don't notice them unless you are looking for them. I think the papers are treated with something that lures the gnats to them, but again, it seems far safer than anything you'd likely have to use to treat gnats. After a few days, you'll have a cluster of dead gnats, and you'll notice less and less over time. Toss the old sheet and replace it as often as needed. I just leave them there for good measure and replace them when I notice any bugs accumulating. I've only used a couple of sheets so far. This would be more than a year's worth or more for me. Obviously, the use will vary depending on the environment, the types of plants, the amount of moisture, and the infestation.

I didn’t think much of these when I first got them. I expected the sticks to be much longer—closer to something you could use as a peg—so the size was a bit of a surprise. I also hadn’t used this type of sticky trap before, so I wasn’t expecting much going in. I picked these up mainly to deal with whiteflies and other small bugs around my garden. After putting them out, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how well they’re working. I’m already seeing small insects collecting on them, which confirms they’re doing their job. They come with wire ties, which is how I mounted them to a trellis near the plants. That made placement easy and kept them positioned where insects are active. Setup overall is straightforward, and they’ve been easy to use. Overall: smaller sticks than expected, but effective for monitoring and reducing whiteflies and other small garden pests.

It doesnt work right away. Give it time and it works nicely

I have no idea why this product isn't a solid 5 stars across the board. It may have something to do with the included sticks but I never use those anyhow. I use the included twist ties and if I run out of those I use the roll that came with my plant support stakes. You can order the same roll by itself on here for 3 bucks. Now it would be nice if this company simply put a 2" or 3" slit on one end of the sticks. However, the sticky traps are so good and cheap, I personally can easily look over that. For outside purposes especially, I don't really care for the sticky traps with the cute designs, that you stick directly in the soil, that you see being sold all over Amazon. With rain it seems like they get more dirt on them than anything else, wasting at least 50" of the sticky surface. They might do ok with indoor house plants, but definitely not exposed outside. That's why I love these! I make sure I hang them at least a couple inches from the soil. I used these last summer also. So this is a repurchase. They were great then and they're great now. I live in Ohio and I moved last February, just a couple miles away, and the ones I had put out the previous June WERE STILL STICKY! Of course I threw them away when I moved because they were loaded with dead bugs, especially fungus gnats. I was hesitant on putting the new ones out when I did yesterday, because I knew storms were going to be rolling in any minute. So right after putting them out it stormed for several hours. Well, as you can see in the picture, the storms didn't mess them up at all. They started catching insects before I could even put another one out and continued to catch them all evening and night, even through the storms! These will be my go to every year! Amazing product with an amazing price! Worth their weight in gold!

This product is the best product that I’ve bought to get rid of them little Nats that fly around our plants

So I lived in my home for three years without a single gnat problem other than the occasional one or two that suddenly appear after opening a bottle of red wine (seriously, wtf is up with that and where do they come from that quickly). But keeping lots of fresh produce in the house since incorporating a green smoothie into my diet began the chaos of always having about 3 to 7 gnats living their best life in here AND BITING constantly. It's the biting that gets me. And obviously landing in every food item or drink. That said I tried all the 'traps' with vinegars, sugars, water, dish soap etc. Worked 'well' but nothing ever lured ALL of them. There were still at least two on the loose and biting, which sort of defeated the purpose. These homemade vinegar traps lure more gnats than you ever had from wherever they come from while still leaving like 15% of gnats unbothered and uninterested. Infuriating because you may attract 20 or 30 more to the trap but now the unbothered loose ones have increased to 4 or 5. So, I bought this thinking it would attract the stragglers. They don't seem to have any direct attraction to these mats at all. They seem to just happen to land on them and then obviously can't get up. Not the worst thing; they DO spend a lot of time flying around and landing on everything possible eventually so it does accumulate some but I still found it took several days and vacating the premises of people (a short vacay that was not specifically for gnat disturbances) and eliminating fresh produce (grr, no longterm solution there). So these mats are sort of a happy accident, if you will. Put them in places that you normally see them and they will eventually land on them by chance and get stuck but they don't appear drawn to these specifically in the slightest, which may leave some people frustrated. I'm sure they do wonders in a barn or garage if you have masses of nuisances and any cut into the population is noticeable but when you want ZERO gnats in your actual home after an invasion of them knowing where you are, this may not be perfection, but one of a few options to use simultaneously or possibly nothing will. Until you let them die off or leave for a short period of time because they become uninterested in your space after making it as sterile an environment as possible. That said, these are super sticky and the adhesive makes them a little heavy so they do not stand up super well with the tool provided, as it's pretty flimsy. You also have to strategically tear the wax paper to leave a spot so you don't break the tool every time you want to replace the mat because there's no space for it to not stick to the mat, if that makes sense and you are only provided one tool so you must take care of it. The mats also have like a half centimeter around the edges that are not sticky so I watched gnats land there a couple times and then were able to fly off because they didn't land on the sticky part of it. Annoying. There's no instructions so this will definitely be trial and error with you and your space. Leaving the backing on one side and just laying it on a counter or putting something attractive in the middle of it might work well like people do with those terribly glue traps for mice.

Very reliable. Sure it will do the job—-just caught to insects right after putting on the window…. Happy about that😂 Think you’ll be happy with product.

These work well and stay sticky for quite a long time. I am using them against fungus gnats. They don't eliminate the problem completely on their own (They don't claim that they will), but they've vastly cut down on the number of adults flying around without the use of poison. Now that I've been able to track down a biological control method, I'm going to try using them together. Attaching the sheets to the provided stakes is straightforward, but requires a bit of dexterity, since the sheets will (obviously) try to stick to you. This is a very minor issue, though.

As usual, we brought some of our plants we keep outside, inside for the winter. This year a lovely batch of little black flies came in with them and created a full infestation in the house that spread to all of our other plants. >:( I purchased these after reading a bunch of reviews and I am so glad I did!! Based on some other reviewer's suggestions I cut each sticky 'card' into three strips and pushed wooden skewers through each strip. I bought the skewers at a dollar store so they were cheap. Once assembled, they looked like a yellow C-shape on a stick. After putting a strip on a skewer, I carefully peeled off the protective sheets on both sides. It's a bit of a pain but worth it!! I placed one of my "death- sticks" in each plant pot and multiple ones in our bigger plant pots (where their home base was). I even placed a death-stick in a container in each of our bathrooms. Those new little friends of your's like to hang out in drains too so you'll likely find them in your bathroom(s). I also took some of the strips, peeled one side and put them face up on our window sills. They like windows too. Within hours of the first application the strips (especially the ones in the big pots) were spotted like I had covered them with pepper! I would leave them for a week and then replace them every weekend. These little buggers lay A LOT of eggs in soil and drains so you will need patience to rid yourself of them. I've had death-sticks in the plants since the infestation started (4 months ago) and haven't seen a fly in at least a few weeks. I'm going to leave some sticks in the big pots over the whole winter to ensure I got them all. So... Cut the sticky cards into strips (with the protective paper on) to get the most out of them, put them on cheap wooden skewers, put them in your pots and bathrooms, replace them once a week (or if full), be patient and good luck!!

One pack seems to have lasted forever, but honestly they are terrific. There were so many fruit flies I could not stand them anymore so I put up the paper and the result was wonderful. See above pictures.

I have a 20 year old hibiscus tree that comes inside during the winter. /every year no matter how I spray, white flies attack. I have used this type of product before and it works.

good one. i think it put the beasts far away, like they feel it. thank you.
