Black Flag Fly Paper

I get a lot of fruit flies, especially this summer. While i work on ways to store my produce and hopefully lessen the issue, I've purchased several ways to trap the gnats. I have a few of those plug in led sticky traps, some kid safe and natural insect spray, and have purchased this brand of fly paper 2/3x now. It's inexpensive, catches a good number of gnats, and I've noticed it has helped to control the number of flies i see flying around in general. The paper lasts about a month at max before I like to change it. Once there are a good amount of flies, I notice it stops catching more. The stickiness seems to stay pretty sticky and useful, but maybe once they see their buddies trapped the get wise? Not sure...it is VERY sticky and takes some getting used to operating as to not get it on your skin while unfurling. I do wish i was a bit easier to stick to my wall, but that's likely a personal issue that others won't have. It comes with a ribbon and tack to affix it to your wall or ceiling and they work well and stay secured. I notice it starts catching gnats within a day or two and then will catch a bunch! When ive gotten some stuck to my finger I rinse with warm/hot water to clean it off, then wash my hands regularly and that seems to work fine. I continue to repurchase these fly papers because they are easy to use, work well and don't produce an off-putting smell like some traps that use vinegar or other chemicals do. They also don't require any power which is nice (i only have so many outlets after all). The only con is that they csn be unsightly, but that's not really a problem for me because they work as intended. They also arrive quickly, within a day or two and are a good price.

These things work incredibly well. They're just the right size to not hang too low nor be too short to be inefficient. Now, while they work great on their own, the best tools for pest control work better together. As such I recommend getting some of the Terro fruit fly traps and spraying some of their bait very lightly upon them and and it'll pull fruit flies like nobody's business making them even more effective. The items themselves have no smell of their own, but the bait from the other product does have a slight vinegary scent that dissipates after a while but it swell worth the added benefit or luring more of the annoying fruit flies. The have a good weight to them too so they pull themselves straight without having to add any extra weight to them.

Good at catching flies....but also hair lol. I wound up hanging it with something else because the tacks dont hold up well but the strip itself is good. Just make sure its out of the way.

Seriously got the job done. Within 2 days it caught a surprising number of flies, and stayed put with just a thumb tack.Just a heads up for pet owners: the glue is sticky enough for flies, but also enough to catch floating pet hair! Be mindful of where you hang it. The strip near my pet's enclosure ended up with a decent amount of fur stuck to it. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting.It’s one of the “hang-up” types, but nothing complicated. A single thumb tack works fine. It’s completely odorless This is a great choice if you want fly paper that functions as intended.

Hard to open and unroll, must be a technique to it that I don't get, what I did get was sticky fingures that nail polish and alcohol could not remove.

As far as these stickey fly traps go these work much better than the large quantity, poor quality ones, but for what they cost they should.

I've used these before and while never great, and pretty gross, they're cheap, so I bought them again and this time it was WAY more difficult to open and I ended up scrubbing sticky goo off my hands for a good long while and then the roll did not simply unroll as I remembered; instead, it came out twisted and I had to fiddle with it for another 10 or 15 minutes which, given how it's sticky paper, was both challenging and unpleasant. But, I had a tool shed that had gotten, for some reason, a sudden swarm of flies so I was highly motivated to get it unrolled so I could install it inside.And I finally did, and I put it right in the middle of dozens and dozens of large flies and then shut the tool shed door. The next morning, the flies were nearly all gone but there was not a single one stuck to the trap. And every day for a week I checked and every day, I saw zero to a handful of flies but never one fly trapped on the paper.Mind you, this product does not repel flies, so their absence is not due to the item working. On the contrary, it's supposed to either attract or passively trap them. It does neither. In reviewing the description, I do not see any mention of any attractant, so I guess the idea is to capture flies by dumb luck, and I guess I am just unlucky. But given how difficult and unpleasant it was to unroll and install this, I would not do it again. Indeed, I threw the unused rolls away. I remember this product from many years ago and it was easy to use and moderately effective so I do not think this is the same fly trap Black Flag has made for decades, but something cheaper and less effective.

Meanwhile, for us and our mostly gray, common housefly, this Black Flag brand of fly ribbon paper is one of the two best brands we tried and were happy with and we had tried several different brands at random. For some reason our area, we have an annual summer influx of filth flies and other bugs, so we have gained a lot of first hand experience dealing with flying summer pests.We're in the U.S. Northeast so these types of flies are common here. As far as we can tell, this summer we have primarily the common housefly (Musca domestica). We also have had some other similarly sized flies that look almost the same, like similar dung flies and flesh flies, but we definitely have mostly the above common houseflies. So far, we don't have (and we usually do not have as much as the above), crane flies, fruit flies, drain flies, moth flies, soldier flies, gnats and mosquitos. We do not USUALLY get (if at all) especially biting flies (blood sucking flies): such as deer/horse flies, soldier flies, black flies, etc. that I know of.My guess is that some of these fly ribbon paper products work because they have an smell attractant, or something on it that smells good to specific types of flies. Since the ones I have found successful have worked on common houseflies and related, my guess is that the ones I bought probably smell like these types of flies favorite foods: they like to eat organic waste products such as dung, rotting vegetables, carrion, or dead bugs. Some flies like sweet or sugary smells (especially fruit flies), or perhaps smell of fermentation (foods which ferment also usually emit a lot of carbon dioxide, which some flies also are attracted to). Or perhaps some type of fly pheromones to attract mate-seeking flies, though I don't know if such pheromones are species specific, or not.My guess is in some areas, I wonder if people may have the other types of flies I do not have fortunately, notably the very annoying and even painful biting flies. I think these flies are seek out blood, or the smell of blood, such as in mammals (like cattle, farm animals, or people). If they bite mammals, they may also detect the smell or presence of carbon dioxide and warmth given off by mammals.The Black Flag brand worked great at attracting this type of fly very quickly and we were glad to have tried it. But we actually like one other brand that was both cheaper (per roll) and surprisingly even more effective: Scented Bug & Fly Ribbon by Catchmaster. We bought the Catchmaster by a larger box (of 20) and it ws much cheaper, per roll. Not only did it seem to get about the same amount of flies (lots!), but it seems to me that it did it quicker as the flies seem a little bit more attracted to it, so the "scented" Catchmaster seems to help for sure. But I haven't yet found this brand of fly ribbon locally at retail, so if you really need to get something from the local store right away, I would definitely recommend Black Flag since it is almost as effective.And a cleaning tip: fly ribbon tape has to be very sticky to work, but it means it is really difficult and annoying to remove if you get any on your hands and just simply soap and water barely helps at all. We learned a great tip online: use a couple of drops of plain kitchen cooking oil (or canned spray oil is perfect) and rub it into your sticky hands for about 5-10 seconds. You should feel the stickiness improve almost immediately. Then, just wash off the oil with regular soap and water before.

I so far used only 1 paper& But NO ONE fly land there!
