Hot Shot Flying Insect Trap, Captures Fruit & House Flies, 2 Count

Skeptical no more. This stuff eliminated the gnats around my indoor plants in less than 24 hours. It's been a week with no recurrence of the problem. One warning: be cautious opening the product. Children %26 anyone without a steady grip might have a problem.

Had a few fruit flies in the living room. Trying this to help. plus the patio doors are in the living room so I'm sure house flies will exist once in a while. Easy to set up. I havent noticed any fruit flies in a day so hopefully it's working. no good way to look in it since it's opaque. I dont want to open it for fear of spilling it.

This does not work well when there are suddenly a lot of house flies. The flies were not attracted to it as expected and if they were it would fill quickly due to the size. This is small and attractive design so it can be placed in inconspicuous areas such as on a widow frame in case there are a few occasional house or fruit flies . . A bowl with vinegar and dish detergent works just as well .

While the size of these containers are great and allow for more discreet containment and easier placement in small areas, they are *small* and ultimately did not provide us any success with fruit flies. The foil-lined lids on the liquid containers are a little frustrating as they are pretty full and it is easy to spill if you move even slightly while opening them, or while trying to place them in the gray outer housing. It is possible that we got a batch that was slightly overfilled, but it is something to be aware of. I have had a much higher success rate pouring some apple cider vinegar into a cup or small ramekin with a small amount of dish soap. It seems to attract more fruit flies and overall work a lot better than these. It is also cheaper.

It works great. As long as it stays upright. The slightest bumb tips it over, spilling sticky goop everywhere. In order for it to work, you have to put it in an area where the insects are and that's usually in a high traffic area. And that's where it is subject to getting bumped. Would be so much better with a wider, more sturdy base.

I haven't had time to get results yet but right off the bat I spilt it! Wasn't too worried since it said not harmful to pets or people, but it was still yucky so be careful when you pull the aluminum cover so the “fly hotel” can start working!! :-)

I've been having this for weeks. Zero flies! 2 gnats. We are remodeling so doors constantly being held open which attracts flies when youre cooking. We live on a lake in the woods and I had to get a fly swatter because even when they flies landed less than 1/2 in from it. This was LONG AFTER COOKING ! It had no attraction to this liquid in it! I have 2 of these out in separate rooms and only one has something in it. Clear liquid Zero. Cloudy one 2 gnats. The cloudy one in the kitchen is drying up.

I put out the little containers like that told me to deal with all of the directions. First, these things have a liquid in them and to spill second they don't do the job I still have flys. I am very disappointed in this fight killer I would not let anybody buy this. I want a refund of my money put on my account for this product.

Don't waste your money. This product has a lot of false claims %26 is useless. It consists of two small plastic cups filled with a liquid, which if you're not very careful you spill while trying to remove the adhesive cover. Neither caught a single fly %26 i watched flies fly right over them.

Fruit flies avoid this. It's messy when you open it and it will spill all over if you're not super careful, and I do mean super careful. So, open it very, very slowly. And wash your hands afterwards. It splashed on my pinky finger and it started to string. So, maybe wear gloves? But, there's no oder that comes from it. I thought it might smell like something to draw the flies but, nope.
