Kills bugs! Sticks very good! Bugs check in but they really don’t check out

I purchased this package of yellow sticky traps after I brought in a plant from a retailer that apparently had fungus gnats in the soil. You do not see fungus gnats right away so they can multiply quickly. I cut one of these in half and used the stick to put it in the pot that I thought was responsible for the gnats. Two days later, there were six gnats on it! I placed a half piece of the trap in a couple other places that attract fungus gnats, like on the bathroom windowsill, and one in my kitchen, because they are attracted to bright lights. They worked great. I even had a spider on one of them. These traps lay flat or stand with the help of the sticks. Eliminate those irritating curly traps that hang from hooks that can be embarrassing. You can easily hide these. Cut them to the size that works for you or leave them whole. There is no odor so no one knows they are there.

The traps are effective and I will come back again for more . My only complaint is that you stopped including the black sticky-backed pieces for securing them to walls, cabinets, etc. No smell, no mess, no more tiny pests.

My home does not have screen doors so flies are a huge issue for me. One of the neat things about this product is that one can get quite creative. For instance, I hung a hook under the cabinet over the sink drain, cut a small slit into a small rectangle, and viola! Awesome relief. Also, cut a largish square and removed only one side of the wax paper, and placed it on the ledge above the kitchen trash can. Another winner. In the living room, another small rectangle attached to a paper clip hangs from one of the slates in my blinds. Another use involved a paper clip twisted around the chain from the ceiling fan in the living and dining rooms. (I am vertically challenged. OK. I'm short! So this may not work for you.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

I used these to address my problem with flying midges - small gnat like insects. I stuck them in various spots on my balcony. Very, very effective. I would highly recommend them. The picture I’ve added shows how effective they are.

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.
