Garsum Fruit Fly Sticky Trap for Indoor and Outdoor, 36 Pack Fungus Gnat Killer for Houseplant,Mosquitos, Flying Insect, White Flies

If you’re reading a bunch of reviews while searching for yellow sticky cards, stop now and buy these. The number one complaint I saw on other products of the same type is that the paper was very difficult to remove from the sticky portion. On this product, however, the paper was incredibly easy to remove, even when I tore it in half while removing. Just bend the sticky card at the point that connects the shape to the part that goes into the soil, and you’ll see a tab that’s not stuck to the card. Easy peasy!I had no problem pushing them into the soil in my planters (the second biggest complaint I saw). Of course, if you try to push it into the center of your pot, you’re likely to encounter the roots of your plant. I found it worked best to slide it along the edge of the pot when possible. The items were firm enough to make this an easy task.The biggest question: Do they work? These photos were taken only 30 minutes after I put them in my pots, so I’d say they definitely work. (Yes, I have a gnat problem.) While this isn’t the only thing that will likely solve the my gnat problem, it’s an important part. Catching these adult gnats will decrease the number of eggs that can be laid in the potting soil. I also soaked a mosquito dunk in water and am using that to water my plants. (Mosquito dunks are made from BTi (Bacillus Thuringiensis subspecies israelensis, which is organic and will kill the larvae in the soil.) Lastly, I’ll be adding a 1/4″ layer of sand to the top of my pots tomorrow, which is supposed to prevent the adults from accessing the potting soil to lay eggs. I’m confident that this 3 pronged approach, including this specific product, will solve my gnat problem over time.Besides being effective and easy to use, I appreciate that the sticky cards come in a nice box. While these are kind of gross to look at after awhile, if we’re honest, I appreciate that the box holding the rest of my sticky cards will look just fine on an open shelf. It’s just a nice touch.One last tip: It got dark shortly after I took this picture, and this room light was turned off while I was in the next room with a lamp on. A few gnats were attracted to the lamp I was sitting under, driving me nuts, and it didn’t look like a whole lot more gnats were getting stuck on the cards in the hour that passed. I turned the light on in the room with my plants again, and they started getting stuck again and not bugging me by the lamp. I don’t think it will be necessary to keep the light on all night. I just think that for a few days it might make sense to keep that room light on while I have a lamp on in the next room to avoid drawing the gnats away from my plants. After all, if they can’t see the pretty yellow color, they won’t be lured to the sticky surface. It’s a small price to pay to get rid of the little buggers.
