sticky trap

I wish that I purchased more! These are so cute and well worth the few bucks they cost. I purchased some plants from a local store and noticed after even repotting some that they must of had gnat larvae that recently hatched. So after reviewing different ways to get my guests to leave I stumbled across these. I liked these because there was not harmful sprays and it wasn't any bulky sticky trap sitting on my counter or windowsill. Needless to say, I was so excited when they came that I had to put them in my plants prior to going to bed that night. I was.a little skeptical, but when I woke up the next morning and saw all the gnats that were stuck to the traps I was a lil shocked. I had no idea that there was that many gnats in my plants! I also loved how easy peasy they were to use! You simply open the box and remove them from the inner packaging and un-peel the dual sided covering and push the product down in your pot. Caution these are sticky...but they are suppose to be and did I mention how absolutely adorable these look in your potted plant? I purchased the yellow, with spring coming I needed something bright and to me the yellow just looks appealing with the greenness of the plants. Honestly, these were a game changer and when my stash runs low, I will be re-ordering.

They definitely do the job. They take care of my gnats. The stickiness is wonderful.

These are easy to use and mostly effective when combined with periodically spraying the dirt with peroxide to kill eggs (every 3 days is recommended.) I also have plug in bug traps, but it works better to have something in the plant to trap the flying ones close to their home. I find these have the most dead bugs on them.It’s nice that they are black and can blend in. They would be better if they were more discreet (they don’t need to be shaped like a butterfly; the plant is what you want to look at.) I suppose, a shorter, wider surface area is the most effective way to trap.I sometimes fold the triangle spike to try and make it more sturdy to put in the dirt.

I was desperate at work with a million little gnats in my eyes from someones plant. They just kept coming no matter what. Enter these babies. When I say the pad sticky thing itself is gross because of the bugs but they work so well. By day 3 I had little to no bugs and now that its been a month,NOTHING. They are so simple too. Just poke in the dirt. Done.

Wasn't sure if these would work because of some of the review. But they work wonderful and definitely capture fungus snats.

These work pretty good. This is my 2nd purchase. The first time I used them there were quite a few bugs on them. I’ve replaced them on my plants every week. Bugs stick to them pretty well. They are very easy to use but I agree they are a little hard to get them in the soil unless it’s moist. I wish they were just round, rectangular or oval as the backing tears on certain areas when peeling it off which can be a pain as they stick to your fingers. The size is perfect. I’m going to keep these on hand! Price is excellent!!Update: I just watered my plants n sprayed their leaves n pots w a dishwashing n water solution and replaced the yellow sticky's today. There were still a lot of bugs on the yellow sticky’s but a lot less of n the bay window I have them. A lot less!! It takes time but they are working for me. Word of advice: Do not ever keep a plant gift into ur home that the giver had outside. Put it outside till you’re ready to repot it with fresh soil. That was my problem! Never had bugs until then.

When I first started using these last year, they ALL were great! Then I ordered more this year and only 50% were any good. The “butterfly” shape does fantastic but the other shape that comes in the pack were kind of sticky but not sticky enough. Gnats would land but then crawl off, not just on one of them but all those in the pack. Thought it was a fluke, so I ordered more and the very same thing. Ordered 24 and only twelve worked, the “butterfly” shape does great.

I have a gnat problem and these work great at catching them. I plant them in the soil of my worst plant and change it out every week or so. Very easy to use and bugs are definitely attracted to it for some reason.
