Fly TrapStik – Indoor Hanging Fly Trap - 8 Pack

These work great! Well-placed, they'll pick up plenty of flies for as long as you leave it in place. It keeps working. Just watch where they tend to be drawn, near a garbage or whatever it is. No bait needed, why draw more? But if you really wanted to, any smelly food would draw more; like a bit of meat (just enough to smell, but for outdoors, not honey or sweet things, bc they attract the good things you probably don't want to kill, like hummingbirds, butterflies, and honeybees). A couple of kinda big spiders also were caught in these (yikes!), so it's a plus that they are sticky enough for them, too.For Outdoors: **I've heard plenty of sad stories about small birds and such getting stuck outdoors and dying a terrible death**. Two very simple remedes: One is to roll some 1/4" wire mesh into a tube shape 2" wider in diameter, that gives an inch buffer between the trap and the mesh, and hang the sticky trap inside the wire mesh roll (make sense?). You can tie two stings in an X across the top of the mesh tube to make a centered spot to tie the trap itself, then hang the whole thing. 1/4" or so wire mesh is easy and cheap to get at the hardware store,(or here) and you can cable tie or sandwich tie it into lshape every couple inches down the side of your wire tube. Hang it with this trap inside, and you'll still catch flies, but not birds or butterflies. The second way is yo use a 2 liter soda bottle (with the bottom cut off) the same way, with either some 1/4" holes cut into it, (there are some fairly small butterflies out there, so keep the holes small and fly-sized, flies will squeeze in anywhere of interest). You can use a razor knife or burn holes through with a soldering iron, hot glue gun or whatever you aren't too worried about. That will smell, so outside if you go that route. Another way is to cut long, 1/4" sized slits vertically, every so far apart, and of course not quite all the way down but close, to let only flies in to the trap. Again, a tiny bit of meat, if necessary, on the bottom blue lip, or stuck to the trap in a few spots can help if you need.A few people say the wind blows them and the top falls off. If you make the screen over it, take a couple seconds to tack the top and bottom with a spot or two of hot glue, before you pull off the outer protective sleeve that exposes the sticky part. That should hold it.And finally...please try to tolerate bees, we need every one of them, they don't attack if they aren't threatened, and they aren't ever after your food, wasps are, and the smelly baited traps sold for wasps will draw them, but not bees, for that very reason, wasps want any part of your dinner, they're the ones trying to land on your burger or chicken or anything else, not the bees (get the right trap for the right wasps, or get both kinds, paper wraps are easy to ID if you see their nest, just google for a visual).The bees keep our food supply, flowers, and the earth itself alive and healthy, and with all the people poisoning their yards to look pretty and be "bug-free" (we need most bugs, really, they're here for a reason), the beneficial bees and bugs are being killed off in record numbers, entite colonies dying en masse. All types of bugs that we need and the earth itself needs, in turn all need a little safe home for themselves, too. Tall grasses and various flowers, with varieties in type, bloom time, and height is very helpful, as is a water source, a fountain or birdbath, with a shallow spot with some glass marbles or nice river rocks so they have a landing spot to stop for a drink and not drown. It's pretty and relaxing for you, too:) It has become a wasteland for them out there. Just in case a few people will consider, there are non-toxic ways to keep your yard pretty and even discourage the less beneficial bugs to go elsewhere, it just takes a little minute to check into it. I use no poisons at all, and my grass stays green, and I have more butterflies, birds, than anyone else, and people notice the difference.

I find these to work well and I’m never worried about walking into them. It does help if you’re able to attach a rogue fly to them to attract others

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I found these at Lowes and bought some, I found them on Amazon and they were a little bit cbeaper.Stickiness:they are extremely sticky.Size:Perfect size. To hang in multiple places.Kills bugs:it catches everything that flies onto it!Design:lI like the colorsCatches insects:all.

Although I think they are pricey these are really working for us under covered porch at front door. The pictures are of front and back of same tube, covered during a 2 week time span. We still get a very few in the house from back door but only a couple in a week. Highly recommend!

I have tried a lot of different fly traps to get rid of small and large flies inside my house (briefly had an infestation) but these ones are literally the best in the world. While not smelly, they DO effectively get rid of all the flies!!! Seriously worth it. I rarely write reviews unless a product is amazing but this exceeded all expectations. I just took them all out, placed them around the kitchen and within a day or two I caught 99% of the flies. But don’t put them outside because it’s so sticky it will get stuck to cats and will also catch small birds and the birds cannot escape :(I hope this company never goes out of business so I can always buy these when needed.

Best fly catcher i've used catches both fruit and house flys

I had one like this that I got at a big box store. It worked very well to trap wasps. I went back to buy more, but they were inavailable due to a recall. Apparently the recall might be because it traps honey bees and the occasional humming bird that gets caught up in the sticky trap. The other wasps traps don't work as well as this did. Other options are to use pesticides to control wasps. So , I think this might have less collateral damage.

I tried the ACV and dawn the flies didn’t care. Very easy to put where you want, very sticky (I’ve stuck to it a time or two). To save you the picture I’ll tell you I have one with about 100 flies and gnats stuck to it. It’s very sturdy and removal is effortless. This thing does not smell like anything which is amazing. It’s affordable and the flies flock to it.
