Garsum Fruit Fly Trap Yellow Sticky 18 pcs Fungus Gnat Killer for Indoor and Outdoor Plant Insect Catcher for White Flies,Mosquitos,Fungus Gnats,Flying Insects

UPDATED REVIEW: these traps do work!! You can see from my old review that in the first 9 days there was only one gnat stuck to one trap (out of 3 traps). However, just a few days after that, there were tons of gnats stuck to these traps! I have no clue what changed and why they all suddenly started working... but they did! There are still a few pesky gnats flying around but not nearly as many as there would have been. I even put 3 more up (two more in my room and one nearly the kitchen fruit bowl), and they have all caught some. I will add more pics of a couple of traps for comparison. Bottom line: I do recommend these. They worked for me for both plant gnat issues and fruit flies, but it took a full 2 weeks for me to see them work. This also seems to be the cheapest pack/best deal for gnat traps! By the way, the first trap I saw with the lots of gnats was attached to a cup with apple cider vinegar, so that may have helped. Old review: I don’t like to write negative reviews of products, but the company asks for your honest review, and honestly... these have not worked for me at all. I have had these in my room for over a week (9 days), and there are still gnats everywhere. I have put 3 in my bedroom (2 in different plants, 1 on a cup of apple cider vinegar near a plant), and one in hanging in my bathroom. I’m 95% sure that my gnats come from the various potted plants in my room, but ironically the only trap that has caught a gnat is the one hanging in my bathroom where I do not have any plants. In the pic you will see two gnats on one side, and one gnat on the other; the two trapped gnats were ones I caught by hand to test how sticky it was (it is very sticky on both sides). As I was taking pics for this review, noticed the other gnat on the other side- so these traps have caught 1 gnat in nine days. I will leave these traps up in hopes that maybe they will ... start working? I’m not sure why these do not work for me, but I doubt that other more expensive brands have products that are any better. This product is easy to use, and the adhesive is very sticky. I am giving it 2 stars because these traps (I put up 4) have only caught 1 gnat, but at least they have caught one! I will update if they catch any more.

If you're reading a bunch of reviews while searching for yellow sticky cards, stop now and buy these. The number one complaint I saw on other products of the same type is that the paper was very difficult to remove from the sticky portion. On this product, however, the paper was incredibly easy to remove, even when I tore it in half while removing. Just bend the sticky card at the point that connects the shape to the part that goes into the soil, and you'll see a tab that's not stuck to the card. Easy peasy! I had no problem pushing them into the soil in my planters (the second biggest complaint I saw). Of course, if you try to push it into the center of your pot, you're likely to encounter the roots of your plant. I found it worked best to slide it along the edge of the pot when possible. The items were firm enough to make this an easy task. The biggest question: Do they work? These photos were taken only 30 minutes after I put them in my pots, so I'd say they definitely work. (Yes, I have a gnat problem.) While this isn't the only thing that will likely solve the my gnat problem, it's an important part. Catching these adult gnats will decrease the number of eggs that can be laid in the potting soil. I also soaked a mosquito dunk in water and am using that to water my plants. (Mosquito dunks are made from BTi (Bacillus Thuringiensis subspecies israelensis, which is organic and will kill the larvae in the soil.) Lastly, I'll be adding a 1/4" layer of sand to the top of my pots tomorrow, which is supposed to prevent the adults from accessing the potting soil to lay eggs. I'm confident that this 3 pronged approach, including this specific product, will solve my gnat problem over time. Besides being effective and easy to use, I appreciate that the sticky cards come in a nice box. While these are kind of gross to look at after awhile, if we're honest, I appreciate that the box holding the rest of my sticky cards will look just fine on an open shelf. It's just a nice touch. One last tip: It got dark shortly after I took this picture, and this room light was turned off while I was in the next room with a lamp on. A few gnats were attracted to the lamp I was sitting under, driving me nuts, and it didn't look like a whole lot more gnats were getting stuck on the cards in the hour that passed. I turned the light on in the room with my plants again, and they started getting stuck again and not bugging me by the lamp. I don't think it will be necessary to keep the light on all night. I just think that for a few days it might make sense to keep that room light on while I have a lamp on in the next room to avoid drawing the gnats away from my plants. After all, if they can't see the pretty yellow color, they won't be lured to the sticky surface. It's a small price to pay to get rid of the little buggers.

Within 24 hours these sticky traps caught over 100 fruit flies within my small indoor greenhouse! So easy to use and safe for all my plants and pets!

These are a great price for what you’re getting. It comes with the sticky patches that are sticky on BOTH sides , so it’s double of whatever amount you pick . The size is a good size not to big but not to small, I put a butter knife for size comparison. The color is bright yellow the shape is a cute butterfly. Obviously no noises are made like a bug zapper this is just a sticky trap made to kill bugs, now with that said this will on function properly for fruit flies NO other bugs any larger or stronger than fruit flies. So if you are looking for these to kill bugs this isn’t the thing for you BUT if you want something to kill fruit flies then I’d definitely recommend these! I feel they’d last a long time because the size and also you can use one side at a time . Now if you want these to work this isn’t in the description but I’ll give you my tip put it in a glass with apple cider vinegar and a couple pumps of dish soap . It will attract the fruit flies and kill them bugs ! Now the little nasty fruit flies that somehow don’t die from the apple vinegar an soap they get stuck flying in an out and around this sticky trap. Just remember these in my opinion won’t trap any other bugs I touched it an it’s not sticky enough that even my finger felt it was similar to touching a regular sticker you’d put on a paper. It came with these two cute little shovels that i didn’t know it’d have an I have no need for I’m assuming they are for plants to dig the hole to put these traps my two cute shovels didn’t go to waste have them to the kids to play with. I definitely recommend these with this price tag an what you get . Hope this review and pictures helped . I’ll be doing more reviews on everything I buy because I online shop mainly and it’s very difficult when the recipe are vague or leave no pictures so I hope this helped . ❤️

I had never heard of fungus gnats but a few of my plants weren't doing well and then we started seeing gnats flying around. When I looked for answers I found information on fungus gnats and a link to these traps. The traps are definitely capturing the flying gnats. I've also used a hydrogen peroxide & water solution to kill the eggs and larvae. One thing to note about removing the protective paper - it came off without any problems on the flower shape. It also came off easily on the matte side of the butterfly. It tore when removing it from the shiny side of the butterfly. Not a big deal - just needed to be more careful removing the paper from that side.

This product did not work. It caught no gnats or fruit flies. Luckily I checked the web for ideas on killing gnats and fruit flies. One website suggested using this product inside a small cup of apple cider vinegar. Adding the apple cider vinegar to this was a winner! In the first night it caught over 100 gnats. It continued to capture hundreds of gnats each day. After a few days it still worked but not as well. Just need to replace the apple cider vinegar after a few days. I replaced this item when full of gnats. So this product caught no gnats or flies on plants or in the room until I placed it in a small glass jar with ASV.

Works like a charm. All fruit flies cling to it.

Great for catching gnats

OMG thank you NYT Wirecutter for the recommendation, these are the BOMB. I have them all over my houseplants and give them as gifts. Simply wonderful and a great price

As described they are easy to use, they do catch all flies ( they are very sticky) and the look good too not too bulky etc

Die Fliegenfalle funktioniert einwandfrei. Ich kann diesen Artikel empfehlen.

It works great

El único problema es que también caen abejas. Realmente sirve para la mosca de la fruta
