Raid® Fly Ribbons, Fly Traps, Effective for Kitchen & Food Prep Areas, Paper, 10 Count

For our compost area that happens to be a little more than 100 ft from our patio, these are awesome. We also hang them in the basement walkout patio. They work! No bees on the ribbons, lots of flies, gnats and other hard to seeums. Easy to hand or position where you need them. We position where we want them and no sticky-to-me events. Winner!!

Works great for Fruit Flies. I never had them in the house before, but now I'm on the warpath! This stuff is SUPER sticky, so figure out wear you're going to put it beforehand. You might want to wear cheap gloves to keep it off your hands when you're opening %26 hanging it, especially the first time . Pull %26 turn gently but steadily to uncoil. I use a piece of masking tape instead of the thumbtack, because I don't want to have to stand on a chair to tack it to the ceiling - I can hang it from a cupboard with tape. If there's no easy place to hang it, you can uncoil it, then gently lay it into a paper bowl, a large yogurt tub, or some other disposable holder. Just make sure you don't put it where kids or pets or your klutzy relatives will get stuck to it, because they'll still be there a year later.
