Used this type for years. Life in the country (in Southern summers) says all I need to say. I've tried several types trying for a more attractive look but always come back to the nasty when full pull down strip of goo. I place them in the sun to warm up, for easier pulling. Put on house cleaning gloves, remove the tiny tack & pull GENTLY. I use a pushpin to hang the tiny red loop. I use these in my sun room where kitty feeding & litter boxes are kept. I wouldn't use them inside the house, too unappealing but they are great on patio & in sun room. Be sure to wear gloves when changing them out. !

Fly strips work great for flies (not sure of the brand) but these do not attract fruit flies (FF). I caught 2 FF on 5 strips in 2 days. A small lid with apple cider vinegar caught at least 10. Buy this for flies but not FF.UPDATE: I'm editing my review because Stingmon Fly Strip DID catch fruit flies. This is an assumption: I think it caught the flies when I had something such as apple cider vinegar or a light beside the strip to attract the flies. This was sitting on top of a bowl with vinegar and dawn dish soap for approximately 24 hours.One attached image shows an 18 hour test with vinegar and dawn dish soap, the fly strip and another sticky trap. Another image shows the fly strip after 24 hours of being beside the vinegar. The same fly strip was opened about 3 inches on a desk before this test. So there were approximately 3 flies on it before the test.UPDATE 2: I'm adding updates because I want everyone to have honest reviews to make decisions and business is not hurt from inaccurate information. It appears that my assumptions were wrong. I think it helps to have the fly strip near something to attract the fruit flies but it's not always needed. Image labeled Image 4 shows fruit flies stuck to a strip without something to attract the flies. I added a paper towel with apple cider vinegar AFTER the flies we struck to it as shown in the image.Images labeled Image 2 and 4 are the same fly strip but images pictures taken on different days.Image labeled Image 5 shows fruit flies that I caught before I got the fly strips.Image labeled Image 3 was placed under a light that I kept on during the night.I updated the rating from 3 to 5 stars.I'm in South Eastern Florida, USA and I do not have fruit except for one apple in the refrigerator.

We were impressed with the packaging and presentation. Nicely done. The tack that comes with it bent so easily that I used small nails to hang the strips. Our area is not too warm yet but we have millions of some type of small flying insects. A small fraction are sticking to the tape but that may change once it warms up and the tape becomes more sticky.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These are really good. They work for the fly and the fruit flys the only thing is compromising having it hanging in sealed places lol

Useless! They don't catch flies. I hung multiple in my house and flies were not attracted to them. I then took a couple over to my sisters and put them beside the name brand ones she had hanging. The name brand ones were covered, meanwhile these had ZERO flies on them. Waste of money.

Some of the tacks broke before I could stick them into the wall. Some of the papers ripped. They're very sticky and work if you can get them up

Amazing value works perfectly

I left a watermelon on the counter and when I returned a week later, what a mess! I cleaned everything up and thought I had gotten lucky. No chance. 3 weeks later the fruit flies are out of control. Just when I think they are diminishing, they are back by the hundreds. In 24 years, I have never seen this many insects in my house. It is out of control and I came to realize I'm not winning . Fruit flies must multiply every second. Fly spray does nothing and a bowl of vinegar in a zip lock bag doesn't attract enough, fast enough. So, I purchased these traps.Well as I was hanging one in the kitchen, I saw several fruit fliesin the window. I decided to leave them alone. I hung these 3 of these traps in the kitchen and put two apple cider vinegar traps in the window. A few hours later, the hanging traps have at least 20 flies on them. The vinegar traps have 1.I have made more progress with these traps in a few hours than I've made with sprays and vinegar in 3 weeks. I am finally feeling confident that I'm going to get rid of these fruit flies and I can invite people over again.Get them because they work!!!
