Neudorff Plant Flycatchers (10 Pieces)

I purchased these after finding my houseplants had been invaded by the dreaded fungus gnats. I like the shape of these fly catchers, I've got them in all of my house plants pots. They aren't very obtrusive and the bright colour is actually rather eye catching. They are so simple to use, just peel of the protective film and pop them in the pots. There is a handy stake shape which isn't sticky so is very easy to place into the pots. I place it right into the dirt leaving just the sticky part exposed. Most of my plants have only required one trap per pot but the larger pots have two or three depending on how many the traps have caught. Every single trap has caught fungus gnats. I've even placed one on the side of mybookcase and on my window as an experiment and they have also caught some flying pests. They are no match for the pesky bluebottles, I've seen one land on one of these and managed to struggle free. For fungus gnats, blackfy and clothes moths they are perfectly suited. I'll definitely be purchasing again.

These plant flycatchers are brilliant, they get the job done. Had a really problem with a sudden uprising in fungus gnats around my beloved house plants. All the local shops had nothing like this, and I need a solution fast. This were a little pricey, but I got them next day delivery, and was very happy. They are easy to use, and have no damaging effect on your plants.The sticker covers need a little force to get off, but that's better then them getting used in the box. These are a largish size for a small fly catcher, so for some of my plant pots I cut them in half (they are very sturdy). They dont need a seperate stand, they press in to the potting medium direct. As I was putting the first in, it caught a gnat, and are still working brilliantly. I will soon be rid of the nasty little pests, and would definitely recommend.

Sciarid flies / Fungus gnats started appearing in our house after re-potting some house plants, so the larvae must have been already in the compost. It seems is an ongoing problem with compost that is stored outdoors at garden centers. After researching it appeared there were only 2 solutions, chemicals that you pour on the compost or you catch the flies as they land and take off with sticky paper. The chemicals are very expensive, so opted for the cheaper solution of sticky fly paper (not the tubes that pull out and hang in an ugly spiral). They work a treat providing the flies land on them, we have one label stuck in each pot and there are now lots of flies stuck to each one, in fact I'm horrified as to how many there are! Hopefully as the adult fly numbers decrease, new larvae will too and the cycle will end. 4 weeks into the process we still have flies adding themselves to the sticky sheets, some are so full now I am going to have to buy more, will search again to see if I can find cheaper ones than these as they are expensive for what is technically a label coated with self-adhesive glue.

Bought these to get rid of fruit flies in the compost and on my Chilli plants. They are amazingly effective. 3 flycatchers have netted 80 fruit flies in just 4 days.The box suggests 1 flycatcher per infested plant, but I've found a single flycatcher per cluster of plants has worked fine. Not a fruit fly anywhere in sight. They just can't resist that yellow.I placed one of they flycatchers in my compost bin, hanging it from a bit of wire attached to the lid. That has worked a treat too.The flycatchers are sticky on both sides - with a bit of practice it is possible to remove both covers without getting sticky stuff on yourself or compost on the sticky stuff. Just about. It is easier if you hold it at the base, which isn't sticky. It would be better if they had a tab or section at the top that was non-sticky too, which you could then use to push it in to the soil.

Does a good job of catching fungus nats but bit frustrating peeling off layers and not sticking to your fingers. Plus bit of an eye sore on plant pots...

When I first started using these fly catchers, I was a bit dubious about the effectiveness as I had left them stuck in my plants that had fungus gnats flying around, and only 3 had been caught after a week. I put the fly catchers to the side and forgot about them.With a fresh infestation in one of my house plants, I stuck one of these yellow sticky traps into the soil next to the plant, exactly as I had before, and wasn't expecting great results. However, in one night, over 20 flies have been caught (I've added a picture to this review, which is quite gross, but proves that this is very effective method of getting rid of these pests!). I've quickly dotted 3 more around the plant, and in minutes flies are already stuck on it.I think the reason this didn't work the first time is because the flies must have been based somewhere other than the plants I attached these too. So it's good to identify where they are located before you start to use these. Turn of the soil and check for the tiny white worms flitting about - and if you see them AND adults, that's where their base is, and then this is likely to catch them.For these to work well, I find it's best to stick them deep into the soil, so that the sticky top is right at the surface, which is where fungus gnats and other pests like to stay. It's also good to set up the sticky traps at the edge of the plant pot, to act as a sticky wall for when they're trying to get to the soil.I'm using this in combination with a chemical spray on the plant to kill the young, and have found that the two together are effective at reducing numbers.

I was having a real problem with fungus gnats in my houseplants. These flycatchers are proving highly effective in reducing the numbers of the pesky little critters. The fly catchers are easy to use - just peel off the backing, taking care not to touch the sticky surface, and insert them into the compost. The gnats are attracted to the yellow colour of the flycatchers and stick fast. My pest problem is gradually reducing although I suspect it will take a while to completely get rid of them.
