Garsum Insect Trap Yellow Houseplant Sticky Stakes Traps Fly Glue Fungus Gnats Trappers,42 Traps 14 Stakes

I think these work so well! I've been using them because I started to see fungus gnats in my meyer lemon and calamondin orange tree pots. They're outdoors in spring, summer and fall and indoors in the winter. They were beginning to fly around my home and I didn't want them getting into any of my other potted plants. My pictures show how many from just one strip in one pot I caught over 5 weeks. I haven't seen a gnat flying around since I put these in. I just put fresh strips in the pots today because my Sheltie brushed against the pots and got a couple strips stuck in her hair. No big deal, just something to watch out for. The strips are crazy sticky. You will get residue on your fingers when putting them together but I was able to wash it off with just soap and water. Over all a great product.

They work really well if you can get them to stay in the holders. They are smaller than many of the other options so work well for smaller planters ore areas. The come in strips that you have to loop and fit into plastic holders, the holders aren't very sturdy so they don't hold the strips very well and the strips fall out into the pot or stick to the plant leaves. I have started just putting the strips directly into the dirt because the holders are so difficult.

While these are not sturdy or easy to assemble and leave you feeling quite sticky, they WORK. My plants acquired fungus gnats and I was losing my mind trying to kill them. I put these in my plants and within minutes, almost every gnat was caught. They are very effective and if you can, you don't need to put them in the little holders and they work just as well if they are open and sitting on a pot vs folded into the holder. They're also a great deal, as you get a ton for $6. I will definitely buy again if this issue arises in the future, which it hopefully does not!

Look at the little clip with the teeth that are supposed to hold a double thickness of paper in place on the stake.Look at the material its made from.There is no flexibility to the plastic and If you try to bend it or adjust the gap between the teeth it will snap.Now, look at the size of that gap between the teeth of that little clip.You'll see it's about 10 times wider than the thickness of the paper it's supposed to hold.If you try to gently adjust the jaws, they will break.What is supposed to hold the paper in the jaws of that clip? Magnetism? Magic? Do I have to fashion and install shims? Do I have to fold the short edges over three times to make them thick enough for both jaws of the clip to touch the paper at the same time?Good luck doing that with already exposed sticky surfaces or with removing the paper backing after you've clipped the strips in place.You can make the paper teeter in place if you try hard enough and don't mind getting that sticky stuff all over you, your plants, your clothing, your cat and anything else that's nearby.If you're successful, it'll stay there until a gnat knocks it off into the dirt..At any rate, you're going to need to keep the cooking oil handy because you're in for a sticky mess.This has to be the most stupidly, carelessly designed product I've ever seen.And all the worse because any half bright 3rd grader could have done it right.I'm giving it 1/2 star because if you could figure out how to mount it somewhere gnats would presumably stick to the paper . Lord knows everything else did. And another 1/2 star is awarded for the tip in the instructions for removing this sticky goo with cooking oil. Previously, the best solvent I knew of was Vaseline, which left a secondary mess worse than cooking oil does.Tip: Old, stale peanut oil works fine.

Noticed some gnats around my orchids and thought I would try these because they were affordable and they look a little cuter than some of the other yellow gnat traps I've used in the past. I probably wouldn't buy these again though because they were just too frustrating to use. The yellow sticky parts did not seem to want to stay, they would pop open and out of the green plastic piece most of the time. And they were kind of difficult to get into the holder without sticking all over my fingers. The couple times I was able to get them to work correctly and get the sticky yellow part to stay put, they did seem to work well at catching gnats at least.

This winter my poor ferns and ivy's had so many "flies" and gnats I had to do something rash. A major pest was fungus gnats. One of the things I did was put these around the lip of the pot (which was more of a terrarium) where the adults would come to the surface and "catch" them with these sticky glue trap. By the end of the week I had hundreds trapped on the yellow. So yup, these worked for me. And you get a bunch more for less than the advertised brand.
