Black Flag Fly Stick Insect Trap (6 Pack)

These are expensive., but well worth it. I leave mine outside year round for four seasons, and the sticky still sticks like new; it has, unfortunately, trapped all sorts of insects, the good (not much), the bad, and the ugly. The glue does not drip to create a blob at the base cup; my traps face SW against the early and late afternoon sun and never a no blob-drip build up. Depending on your climate the situation might be different. They are convenient to use, but I would use some twist-tie, etc., to fasten this trap to position because the plastic hang-hook is nothing against strong wind and, keeping the trap out of the rain/snow (common sense) enhances its use. Small birds can get caught (this has not happened to me, mine are below their flight plan). If you want to catch certain size bugs or prevent snaring birds, use chicken wires, etc., to make an outer casing and rest the trap in the center. I have batches of traps I bought from 2 and 3 years ago and it still works (I first found them at HomeDepot, but they don't always sell them). Product description says "scent" but I didn't smell any scent and my nose is like a blood hound. I prefer no scent for various purposes. It seems predatory/scavenger insects might have come in to make a meal of ones stuck but they wound up getting caught too. No honey bees or pollinating insects, (spiders yes good and bad), all sorts of flies, nats, etc. If the box comes crushed, sent it back because you won't be able to pull it apart to use properly. If you get the glue on you, you'll need to remove it with some type of solvent or some glue remover. I would buy and recommend this product as they are made as of 2023 again and soon. Sorry, I don't answer questions; I only provide reviews and that is all the socializing I do. Good luck. Should the quality of the product change at the time of my next purchase, I will post my then review.

Box mashed in on one end. One fly stick mashed. We really like the product, we’ve been using them for a long time and will continue using them. They really work great! We kept the item.

This product it very effective. Works even faster if you pour something like apple vinegar or red wine in the bottom cup. It attracts the flies.

I really wanted these to be instant but it does take a few hours to see results. I have a ton of small flies right near the front door and back door of our home and they were driving me nuts. i put these up and waited and waited. The next morning I was amazed to see how many flying things had been collected. I purchased the pack of 6 and we ended up putting all 6 around the back door. I am now buying 6 more because they are full! They have only been up for a week! The flies are less, not gone, but it sure it gratifying to see how many this product has collected ! Black Flag for the win!

In the Oklahoma area right now, the flies are so bad, it is like the one of the plagues from the Bible! Inside, outside, everywhere! Our neighbor got these and recommended them to us and after reading a lot of the reviews, I decided to give these type of "fly traps" a third try. I have used this type (not sure if they were the same brand as this) of trap 2 other times in my life and I was unhappy. They caught mostly gnat type guys and the tiniest little flying insects that I have never even seen before - if they were alive and flying around, they would be invisible to everyone around... Long review short..... When these tube traps were delivered this last week, I was so thankful and excited and put up 3 of them in the rooms where these diabolical kamikaze flies congregate... followed all the instructions.... They have been hanging just waiting to catch some flies but to No Avail! Not one actual Fly has been caught up on them..... And as I am inspecting them 5x a day, hoping to see a dead fly, I get dive bombed by the flies that are still alive in my house! Like they are taunting me! I am glad it seems to have worked for some of the other reviewers.... but these have not and are not working for me. I really wish they would work for these flies, because I am loosing my mind LOL Any advice is welcomed please! I tried to "ask a question" instead of leaving this review but I couldn't.
