Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Fly Catcher Sticky Rolls are designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a non-toxic, chemical-free method to manage nuisance insects like flies, moths, mosquitoes, wasps, and ants. By utilizing an extra-tacky adhesive surface, these rolls provide an immediate and reliable trapping solution for both indoor living spaces and protected outdoor areas. While highly effective at capture, users should be aware that the exposed adhesive can be messy if touched accidentally and requires careful placement to avoid contact with pets or children.

FAQs
Are these traps safe to use around pets?
While they do not contain toxic chemicals, they are extremely sticky. Keep them in areas that are inaccessible to curious pets to prevent them from getting adhesive stuck in their fur.
Can I use these outside in the rain?
These are intended for indoor or covered outdoor areas. Exposure to direct rain will ruin the adhesive and render the trap ineffective.
How long does each sticky roll last?
Longevity depends on the volume of insects captured and local dust levels. Replace the roll when the surface is saturated with insects or no longer feels tacky to the touch.
Do I need to apply bait to the rolls?
No, the rolls are designed to work purely by contact. The movement and color are usually sufficient to attract pests, though you can place them near natural attractants like fruit.
How do I safely dispose of a full roll?
Simply remove the roll, fold the sticky sides together to prevent contact with other surfaces, and dispose of it in your standard household waste bin.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive stuck to surfaces or clothing
Use vegetable oil or a dedicated adhesive remover to break down the tackiness before gently peeling it away.
Roll not catching enough insects
Relocate the trap to a different area; insects often follow specific flight paths, so moving the trap just a few feet can significantly improve results.
Roll is covered in dust and losing effectiveness
Dust buildup reduces adhesive performance. Replace the roll once the surface is significantly obscured.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the fly catcher rolls is straightforward: simply unroll the strip and hang it using the provided attachment mechanism. Ensure the strip is suspended freely so that both sides remain exposed to insects.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid placing the rolls in direct wind or high-draft areas, as this can cause them to swing and stick to walls or furniture.
- If the adhesive accidentally touches your skin, use vegetable oil or a citrus-based hand cleaner to gently remove the residue; do not use harsh solvents.
- Periodically inspect the rolls. Once a roll is fully covered in insects or loses its tackiness due to dust accumulation, it should be disposed of and replaced with a fresh strip.
