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.

These fly sticks were purchased to hang on my deck because of so many bugs trying to get in the house. They may not look right hanging from the deck ceiling but they do a great job of catching the flies.

I like the ease of use. The hook provided is adequate but not very long so you may have to add some string or something to get them hanging in the correct and effective position. You have to hang them where the flies are circling and unfortunately, that may be where you have to walk which means you might walk into them if you are not careful. You DO NOT want to get this stuck in your hair. It will pull your hair out to get it unstuck and... it takes a few washings to get the glue out of your hair. Gross. Bottom line is they did work to reduce the flies but use with caution where you hang them.

The product works pretty good, but not as good as fly paper….. but it’s less ugly…. Of course once the fliesare stuck to anything it’s ugly after that anyway …. So the product works, but fly paper works much better.

It really did the job and caught a great deal of flies which covered the whole stick. It serves my purposes.
