Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Windows and doors open with increased frequency as the temperatures rise, allowing flies and other pests greater access to bring outside germs into kitchens, bathrooms, and other living spaces. To combat these aggravating insects, Woodstream offers this indoor flytrap. Efficient and nontoxic, this flytrap performs up to 60 percent better than standard flytraps.

With Woodstream’s Sylvalure system, this indoor flytrap entices flies with its 3-D design, bright colors, and a special glue containing natural fly attractants. The glue lasts up to eight weeks and easily washes off human hands. The indoor flytrap can either be hung or stand alone in a fly-infested room. Traps perform best in clean environments, as dust coats and impairs the glue. This indoor flytrap is designed to provide pest control for an average-sized room. Woodstream offers a refund for damaged or impaired items. --Jessica Reuling

5.0 out of 5 stars Indoor Fly Trap does its job!, August 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Victor M500 Poison-Free Indoor Fly Trap (Lawn & Patio)

I have many flying critters because of leaving a door open for my dogs. I am afraid to open my mouth for fear of one landing there. The fly trap placed by a light has collected not only flies, but gnats, moths, and a number of unidentified flying critters, and has allowed me to live in peace again. I'm so pleased I am going to stock up on them. Be careful not to touch as they are very sticky, but it comes off easily too. M. L.

This review is from: Victor M500 Poison-Free Indoor Fly Trap (Lawn & Patio)

It was the "poison-free" part that attracted me; I don't like spraying bug spray all over my house. So I bought one of these. But I have to tell you, I was pretty skeptical. "Trap features fly-enticing 3-D design"? You've gotta be kidding. These goofy little 3-D boxes are supposed to attract flies? (Plus, my problem is fruit flies, not houseflies.)

Well, I caught nine fruit flies with it, roughly one per day. And where do you suppose they landed and got stuck? Yep, right on those silly pink "3-D" boxes, as if they thought they were flying through a tunnel or something. Don't ask me. They must be some pretty dumb fruit flies.

Note, however, that if you have that many fruit flies, then you probably have them breeding somewhere, and you just haven't found where yet. This kind of trap helps you pare them down, but if you have so many that the minute you squash one, you see another, you need to find that they're feeding off of and take care of it first. I discovered dozens of them in (yuck) a diaper pail, whose contents should've been thrown out long before. I didn't think fruit flies ate that stuff (well, I guess some of it was fruit once), but now I know. This trap is good for catching them _after_ you've rooted out the infestation, but it definitely won't stop such an infestation by itself.

1.0 out of 5 stars wrong picture, doesn't work, September 6, 2008

The picture shown is not the item you get. The one you get is made out of thick white paper/thin cardboard with pictures of flies and 3D pink boxes on it (under the sticky stuff). It catches fruit flies and gnats just fine, but anything larger can get out and the flies aren't even interested. Don't waste your money.
