FAQs
Are these traps safe for use around pets?
Yes, they contain no chemicals, but they should be placed high enough that pets cannot come into physical contact with the sticky surface.
How long does one strip last?
A strip remains effective until the surface is mostly covered with insects or the adhesive properties begin to diminish, usually within a few weeks.
Can I use these outdoors?
While they work outdoors, wind and debris can quickly make the adhesive ineffective, so they are best suited for indoor use.
Does the bait attract other pests?
The attractant is specifically formulated for flies and typically does not draw other household pests like ants or roaches.
How do I dispose of a full strip?
Simply remove the strip and place it directly into your regular trash bin.
Troubleshooting
Strips are not catching any flies
Relocate the strip to an area with higher insect activity, such as near a fruit bowl or waste bin, and ensure it is not blocked by curtains or furniture.
Adhesive dried out due to heat
Ensure the product is kept away from direct heat sources like heaters or intense sunlight.
Sticky residue on hands
Wash the affected area thoroughly with vegetable oil or a citrus-based hand cleaner, then follow up with soap and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: gently pull the strip from its housing and use the attached loop or string to hang it from a secure hook or nail. Ensure the strip is positioned away from high-traffic areas to prevent family members or pets from brushing against it. To maintain effectiveness, replace the strip as soon as the surface is covered with captured insects or when the attractant fades. If adhesive accidentally touches a surface, use vegetable oil to help dissolve the glue before cleaning with soap and water.
