Product Information

No matter if the flies are in your kitchen, basement, or screened-in porch, they can be a nuisance to get rid of. As opposed to a swatter that requires you to chase them around your home, a trap does the work for you after being set, helping you fix your fly problem. Though each ribbon can last up to three months, once the ribbon is full you should throw it away. The disposal method isn’t as clean as other options, but it’s fairly simple. Just wrap the trap in a newspaper, paper, or plastic bag, and throw it in the trash.

Most fly traps use either bait or UV light to attract flies. While UV light is harmless, bait may be made from chemicals. If you have pets or children, keep these traps out of reach, or opt for a pesticide-free bait. Zap traps also pose a safety risk if kids or pets touch them. PriceBefore buying a fly trap, Thomas advises a multi-step process to make sure you have the best chance of completely eradicating the flies. Container traps lure flies in with bait and kill them with either poisoning, drowning, or dehydration. Zap Flies are attracted to sweet or decaying odors, so use bait that mimics those smells. This may include sugar water, rotting fruit, or fruit juice.

Light traps such as the DynaTrap Flylight Indoor Insect Trap are a more modern fly trap that use UV light to attract insects. These traps are typically used indoors and use a glue card or container to trap the flies. Light traps have the advantage of being pet and kid safe, odorless, and mess-free, though they require electricity to work. Consider the capacity of the fly trap, especially if you’re using it in a commercial or high-traffic area. A larger trap will be able to hold more flies and require less frequent emptying. Durability Whether it’s a colony of fruit flies in the kitchen or a house fly that won’t stop buzzing around the trash can, a fly invasion is a huge annoyance. And once they’re inside, it often seems impossible to get rid of them. To use, empty bait into a trap, add warm water to the fill line, and swirl to mix. Once baited and ready to use, hang the trap outside near a fly source like garbage or compost pile. As the trap fills up with flies, add enough water to keep flies submerged. Fly traps will work best if placed near insect hot spots, such as near doors, garbage cans, kitchen sinks, windows, and compost. Some traps, like outdoor traps that use smelly bait, will need to be placed far from living spaces due to their odor. Keep in mind that some traps may only have an effective radius big enough to cover one room and will not protect the entire home.Traps are designed for inside, outside, or both. For example, zap traps typically can’t be used outside because precipitation and electricity don’t mix. On the other hand, container traps typically have a hook to hang on a post. Choose a trap that works wherever you’re seeing a large number of flies. Safety
