I bought this because my house plants became infested with fungus gnats. I put one roll in a bowl next to each plant with a small piece of banana peel underneath to attract the flies. It worked. Caught hundreds of flies. Downside is that the sticky stuff in the paper is incredibly incredibly sticky and it's almost impossible to avoid getting it all over your fingers. Once that happens it's not easy to get it off. Lots and lots of scrubbing with soap. The same goes if you get it on anything. It took ages to get it off the bowls I used. This is a pain. Obviously it works to catch flies by being sticky so what can you do? Wear pvc gloves while handling and avoid letting it touch anything important is probably the only solution. Still recommend though as a cheap answer to annoying flies in the house.

👍 I’m genuinely impressed with how effective they are at catching flies and other insects. They work really well in areas that are prone to flies/bugs and definitely midges. I like that they’re pesticide-free, which makes them a safer option for homes with pets and children. They’re very easy to use, just hang or place them where flies are most active, and they do the job. They really make a difference in the kitchen. The adhesive is strong and holds the insects in place. I also appreciate that they can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them versatile for areas like patios and gardens. For the price, 16 strips offer great value, and I’ll be set for quite a while. One thing to keep in mind is that the adhesive is very strong, so it can be tricky to handle without getting it on your hands or other surfaces. After a while, the traps can start to look unsightly, especially when they’ve caught a lot of flies. The adhesive loses its effectiveness over time, so you’ll need to replace the strips for best results. Overall, these fly paper strips are an affordable, easy-to-use solution for controlling flies and other insects without chemicals. They’re very effective at first but should be replaced regularly for maximum performance.

They work okay once youve hung them up, but the pins to attach them to ceilings are built into the plastic caps. You need to pull the cap off very carefully because they're covered in sticky goo. I couldn't push the built in drawing pins into my ceilings, because they are hard plaster. After trying the first one with my fingers slipping in sticky goo I gave up. I drilled holes in my ceilings and screwed small hooks in to hang the fly catchers on. I hadn't read the instructions about rotating the container anti clockwise as you pull it down and ended up with sticky tubes for the first two attempts. Then one pulled away from its hanging ribbon as I pulled it down, covering me in sticky goo. It's very hard to get it off your skin! I stuck it back together and was sitting at my dining table when it fall off, landing on the table! What a mess. You find places in your home where they'll catch more flys than others by experimenting, The ceiling hooks are a good idea because you can put them in several places then move the fly catchers around to the places where they're most effective. Used with care, twisting them as you pull them down, they can work very well.

These tapes come in a cardboard tube. The instructions are to remove the tape from the tube whilst rotating anti clockwise. The tape does unwind but returns to a horrible messy sticky coil when hung. No attempt to uncoil works and you end up in a gooey mess. There is no fly attractant therefore the only way that this works is if a fly accidentally flies into it. The tape is very sticky and effective for catching flies if they fly onto it but hung for 3 days and three flies caught. Absolute rubbish and complete waste of money. To add to that, a box of 16 was ordered but the box was missing 8.
