HaferTech Dual Sticky Trap, Yellow, 5 X 3-Inches (50 pcs)

They lose a star for advertising it as a 100 pack and counting the silly bread ties seperately from the actual product. While I read carefully when I purchased the product and expected this to be the case and knew what I was getting into, I still think its deceptive.Even so it was the best deal and these have worked very well. If you have a fungus gnat problem, this is the first step to recovery.

I'd planted some nice heirloom golden Hubbard squash seed in my front yard and they'd begun putting out their early leaves. Shortly thereafter, some scumbag leaf miners started burrowing their telltale zig-zag trails in the flesh of the leaves. I began spraying the plants with an organic 3-in-1 solution but my work schedule meant treatments were erratic, so decided to supplement them with these papers. Turned out to be a BIG help.The bright flower-like yellow attracts the flying insects whose larvae burrow into the leaf tissue, and the tacky adhesive (very similar to that used on fly paper) snags them once they land. After the first few weeks the papers were laden with stuck insects, and the proportion of leaves attacked by the miners decreased noticeably.One thing to watch for, keep the papers fairly close to your plants without sticking to them, but at the same time far enough away from soil so that on a breezy day your paper doesn't end up with fine dust stuck to it instead of bugs. Laying mulch atop the soil can help with this, and also help the soil retain moisture and warmth for the plants.

Great alternative to buying 10 sheets for the same price! But be aware these are not in retail packaging (some might care about that) and you are supposed to tie these to your plant, there are no stakes. I made some stakes out of bamboo bbq skewers and they stick pretty well to those. They are super sticky though (or they wouldn't do the job!) So you will have some sticky fingers when you're done. With more than a dozen houseplants and a growing fungus gnat problem, I didnt care. I used these after treating the soil with bonide systemic houseplant insect control (powder fom), then sprayed the soil with bonide 8 insect control spray. The stickies pick up a lot of the stragglers. The combo is much cheaper than repot ting everything! And since I still need to change the stickies every week or so it's nice to have so many!

I'm not sure what they could do differently, but the packaging makes these a little difficult to use. Mine came in a zippered baggie that just barely fit over the sticky cards. A little glue had seeped out between the cards and the baggie didn't survive more than one or two uses. Not a super huge issue but seems like something they could maybe look into. I just put their bag into a larger one.The stickiness of these is top notch. Even after getting a little watered with the plant, they still kept quite a bit of their stickiness. When used in combination with Mosquito Bits, was able to eradicate a pretty nasty fungus gnat infestation - thank you commercial potting soil suppliers for this added bonus sigh.Another reviewer suggested cutting the cards to make more traps. Great suggestion, particularly for indoor plants and smaller containers. Leave the paper covering on one side to make the traps easier to handle and to keep them from sticking to your plants.

Must have for any organic gardener. It's taken care of our flea beetles on our eggplants and lettuce greens and all little pest on the apple trees. We tried everything prior to the sticky traps. We purchased lady bugs; we purchased Hb+Sc+Sf nematodes; we purchased gallons and gallons of beneficial worm tea. Nothing had worked prior to the traps. Put up the traps and pest are still around but I has decreased. I replace my traps every few days. Loved it so much ordered it again.As of today, I haven't had any bees on the trap.

Very dissapointed in this brand. I use these often in my indoor garden and they work amazing but this brand is very cheaply made. The paper was supposed to have holes in it but most didn't and the ones that did didnt have a single full circular hole, it wasn't alligned properly when they used the whole punch so they have have circles. Also, these papers are very flemsy and not as sticky as I am used to. I am used to using popcicle sticks to hold them up and I stick the other half of the stick in the ground. These aren't even sticky enough to hold onto the stick... never buying from them again.

A tad messy, but cheaper than the expensive ones and works the same to catch bugs in the garden. In early spring I punch a hole in the bottom and thread them through metal stakes to put the sticky trap close to the ground (helps control flea beetles). Later, I tied them on to tomatoes and eggplants to keep down white flies. If you don't use pesticides, they are a must.

These aren't sticky enough - I've seen multiple flies land on these traps and then fly away. Today I watched a gnat watch across the surface of one of these things. Ultimately, I do end up seeing flies stuck to them, but it's certainly not a 100% success rate. I bought this pack after having spent a lot more on a more expensive brand that was absurdly sticky. I'm going to go back to the other brand. These OK, but they're not good enough to actually solve the problem. I'm looking for a 100% success rate.
