RESCUE! 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 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.

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.

I like the glue on this product. If you accidentally touch it, it does not leave sticky residue on your skin or your clothes. It is strong enough to trap flies and they can't get away. Flies seems to attract to it. No smell at all. Best fly trap I have ever used so far.It's too expensive though.

These little things are AMAZING! For the first year ever we have been overwhelmed with flies both inside and out. Now mind you I have no problem with flies as long as they stay outside. :) But when they sneak in the home that's where I have a problem. Put one of these up and within a day all the little creatures were gone from inside. I will keep a stash on hand at all times. Excellent!!

This is a great fly trap, except it does not seem to have anything that attracts the flies to it initially so be aware of that. I found that in order for this fly trap to work well, I needed to place food next to it. After I did that, it worked like a charm! This fly trap is nice because it doesn't smell, like some other fly traps I have bought before. So, my guests and I can eat outside on my patio, and by placing the trap near the food, the flies end up landing on it instead of the food. Brilliant!

Second order, ended up getting eight of them this time because they work so well and they last quite a while when used indoors. Tip to anyone with flies about, put them near a light source as the light will attract the bugs and they will typically land on the Fly trap. We've had so many attracted to the sticky trap, you could hardly see the ornamentation of the paper due to the number of flies captured! I highly recommend.

I have ordered this numerous times as it seems every time I am having family visit, regiments of flies make their appearance. I like the loop, which makes it easy to put a twist tie through to hang it up, especially useful if you have cats. When you spot something the flies like to gather around, you can use it to lure even more flies to the trap. I placed two empty catfood cans in a container next to the trap and cleared out the bunch hanging out in my dining room. The coloring makes it harder to see the flies to lessen the grossness of the dead ones. As the surface fills up, I toss the trap and set up another. This is one of my summer must buys.
