Black Flag(R) Window Fly Trap

Worked very well for us. Flies come in through our doggy door because our largest dog has an annoying habit of walking outside and pausing to assess things, with the dog door flap still resting on his backside, a habit that our smaller dog has started to copy. That leaves a wide open spot for flies to travel into our living room and kitchen. I can easily get the flies on our sunny kitchen window (with a damp old sponge) when they land to sunbathe, but it's hard to keep track of what's happening on the living room windows. The window fly traps have really helped catch the stray flies that land in the living room. I recommend that you first note where on your window the flies are tending to conjugate and put the traps there. The traps I just randomly stuck on the windows aren't catching nearly as many flies as the traps I put very deliberately in position near the window sill, where I had seen flies land before. These traps wouldn't work to catch ALL the flies that wander into our house, but they certainly help enough that we're going to be sure to have a couple sets on hand every summer/fall. Easy to apply. Easy to remove. Tool required: fingernail.

Buy these! You won’t regret it! I have tried just about every fly trap out there, and these are absolutely the best. I love that they are unobtrusive, unscented and hugely effective. Mine have caught house flies, fruit flies, spiders and even hornets. I have used these for the last couple of years, but this year they were most effective because I didn’t wait for the flies to start buzzing. As soon as spring hit, I put one in the upper corner of most windows around my house. You can even cut them in half so you can have a more traps to spread around. This year we have barely been bothered by any flying pests! I put them at the top of my windows behind my fabric valances/ drapes and I never have to see the gross dead bugs. I just have a clean house with no pests! The adhesive on the back is why I will stick to the Black Flag brand. I can put the traps up on my windows with privacy film and take the traps down without damaging the privacy film. You can also reposition or move the traps several times without worrying that the traps will lose their grip and fall down.

They work in a bottom corner of a sunny window, and sometimes they work really well. But sometimes one just won't hold the fly. I've watched flys land and just walk off. If it's only caught one or two flys after a few days, I'll replace it and the next trap works great. Seems about half the traps just aren't sticky enough.

Every year in summer, for no reason I can figure out, I get a minor infestation of house flies. I've tried, well and truly, to go the 'live and let live' route. For years, I've progressed from trying to open my windows and screens with lights off to let them out. Then I tried that, and for the ones who wouldn't leave, I got out the cordless vaccuum. This year, I did try the 'don't have to go home but you can't stay here' option, but I was just tired of it. So I got this item. The flies did kind of congregate around windows, but the windows they went to were dependent on what time of day it was. One constant was that they would consider my floor lamp a night club. So, I got this 3 pack, and put one of these over the top of my floor lamp (the floor lamp has a flat, round top over the LED lights). I will say this: Definitely use nylon/ latex gloves when installing these things. They are very easy to place, but you will spend forever trying to wash off any adhesive you get on you. After 3 days, no more house flies buzzing around. They were all stuck to this thing. Again, use gloves to remove, but they are completely effective. It's a little gross to dispose of the strip (for me, at least), but the minor gagging was a completely minor price to pay for having my house fly-free for the rest of the year. Sorry fly guys, I tried to go the 'live and let live' route, but you weren't having any of it.

These Raid strips are AWESOME! We'd somehow get about a dozen flies in the house every few days - talk about annoying... Didn't want to spray or use no-pest strips; that hanging curling flypaper caught a few, but not many. Thought I'd try these, they're four to a pack. They're about 6" by 2", almost completely transparent. A little sticky strip on one side to adhere to windows; the other side is very, and completely, sticky. A little thicker than paper, basically unnoticeable. A little study revealed "our" flies like to gather on windows and sliding glass doors, behind drapes and blinds, along the bottom edge. Stuck the four strips in those locations - also less noticeable there. After a couple days caught at least two dozen flies, no more buzzing around - completely satisfied! Will order a couple more packs, to use as replacements when these get "full". One of the most successful products I've ever bought. Thank you, Raid!

The window strips seem to be just 2-sided pieces of scotch tape. Flies fly all around it and crawl around it and somehow never manage to crawl or land onto it. For all I know it might repeal flies. Sure they are cheap but the value is zero.

Works great. Catches a lot of flies. Sticks on a window so not intrusive.

So far I have caught flies, fruit flies and even a wasp with this sticky trap. In order to stick it to the window you have to peel off the thin strip of paper to expose a line of adhesive that sticks to the window. This paper is easily removed. However, the paper that covers the glue is extremely difficult to remove. I don't know why they can't make these so that the paper removes easier from the glue side. I have wondered about how to go about removing one of these once it is filled with bugs. They should have put a little tab in the corner that isn't covered in glue so that you have something to grab to remove from the window. Cut them up into halves or thirds. You do not need to use them full size to catch bugs. They work well enough but could use some improvement in the design.

Import sticker data is all rubbed off. Actual product carton was damaged and product had black fungi in corners. Rs 500 plus 100 shipping for this old stock and just 4 individual traps is too costly.
