TERRO T518 Fly Magnet Sticky Fly Paper Fly Trap, 8 Count (Pack of 1)

WOW! These really do the trick, they’re amazing. I left these out for half a week near my Guinea pigs’ cage, where a lot of flies were starting to appear (which I’m suspecting is the result of changes in temperature, and a couple of flies getting into my basement in order to procreate). Over the span of half of a week I went from seeing a family reunion of flies to seeing only 1 or 2 occasional flies. This was a tremendously impressive task, given that the fly tape had caught nearly 20 of these pesky lil things. There’s a semi-citrusy smell to the fly tape, but nothing unbearable. They’re also super sticky so even if a fly manages to escape, they’re usually incapacitated, to the point that they are no longer able to fly (tip: when this happens, just pick them up yourself with a gloved hand or tissue).One thing I might want to improve on, is probably the ease in unraveling these. They’re still somewhat curled even when you follow the instructions to twist the tape in the opposite direction. I wish this were a straight piece of tape as that was the way manufactures intended it to be. Otherwise, everything about this tape is AMAZING— a must purchase if you have a fly problem!!!

It helped me cure a sewer fly infestation in about a week. Easy to install, can be a bit messy when disposing due to the exposed adhesive. Wear gloves so you don't get the goo on your hands.

I had a really bad fruit fly infestation and by the end of it I had tried five products. This one at least does what it says it does. It is very sticky and any fly that lands on it doesn't get off. Having said that, the surface area isn't large so the flies only occaisonally happened to hit the paper. I also tried traps with liquid lures. The lure worked well but then the flies were having trouble getting in so they weren't getting caught. I eventually put the lure out on its own and hung the fly paper right over it and that worked very well. The fly paper and sugary lure together got rid of most of my flies.

We have been plagued with a pestilence of flies. In December, mind you. This is unprecedented. So we ordered these fly paper traps, hoping to solve the problem. For the first few days, there was no action at all and I was very disappointed, but all of a sudden those fly strips are like Fly Central, and the strip is covered with those annoying flies, which are some kind of smaller fly we do not usually see. We are very pleased with such an inexpensive and easy solution to what was a very annoying problem. Would certainly use again and can easily recommend to others with similar unfortunate problems.

Minus 1 star because they don't unfurl like they are supposed to, no matter how carefully, slowly, and gently you twist and pull. They just rip instead because they are so sticky. Minus a second star because it can be very stressful to remove the stickum from yourself if you accidentally come into contact with it--it is stubborn stuff if you don't have the right solutions. Keep three stars because this stuff is more than sticky enough to catch flies. It can catch a lot of flies, and it can even catch people lol. If you buy this, proceed with patience to unfurl it, and be sure to have a variety of de-gunkifying solutions on standby in case you accidentally get some of the stickum on you. Seriously. I tried dish soap, oil, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, and pomice scrub and still had difficulty getting it all off of my hand. Maybe goo-gone could do it but I couldn't find mine.

Love this product

Long story short, this solved our gnat problem but I have no idea how. I don't know if anything got stuck to the tape but the bugs are gone. Since it worked, I won't question it.So we had these annoying gnats/fruit fly like bugs that were only in our bedroom for the most part. There was only like 1 or 2 per day but they were those ones that drives you nuts by flying right in your face and you can never kill them, so we bought these.They opened fairly easily without much force or the string or anything breaking randomly. I took the time to unravel it and tried pulling it tight and holding it like that for a bit, but as soon as I let go then it just wound right back up. I figured it would unravel on its own after hanging it up, so it wasn't a big deal. (The pic with more light shows how it was out of the box the first night)We put it into our ceiling above our computer where those things managed to evoke the most rage in us and went to bed. The very next morning we didn't see any flies. I didn't notice any stuck on the tape either though.Its now been 4 days since putting the fly paper up and we have not seen a single one of those gnats anywhere in my home. I *think* one may be stuck to the paper, but not completely sure, it could be dust too. I really don't understand it. We had these flies for 3 weeks and no severe change in weather or anything else, so I know it was these papers. They're the only change we made.Also side note, it ended up unraveling a little bit after we turned on our humidifier last night, but otherwise it still hasnt really straightened out yet.(You can see in the 2nd pic, the darker one where more of the window is in the shot) Its only been up for 4 days and I just measured it to be about 2 feet, even with it still curled a bit. I saw some other reviewers not like that it didnt unravel completely. I don't mind since it's not like we need the extra tape space and I'd probably manage to hit my head off it somehow if it was longer, which I'm definitely okay with never doing (again).Ultimately we bought this to get rid of our gnat problem, which it did. Even if it wasn't in the expected way. So I'm competely happy with the purchase. And it does seem sticky enough that if they land on it they would get stuck to it. Also getting 8 of them for the price is worth it as well.
