– 4 Month Protection Against Flies, Cockroaches & Other Pests. Fly Traps for Indoors/Outdoor. Better Than Mosquito Zapper

This product works, extremely well. I never, ever write reviews for anything, but in this case I feel like I need to.My house has a bad problem with fruit flies during the summer months. And, this year, it’s bad. Not only that, but now regular house flies joined in, and I had a ton of them flying around too. It was HORRIBLE.Bug spray helped, but it only helped in the moment. I could spray them all I wanted, and sure, it would kill them right then and there. But, when I sprayed hotspots, they’d all get startled and fly away. I’d kill lots, but plenty would also escape. And, after that, they wouldn’t come back to that area for a while. But, in time, they would.I tried more than just bug spray, too. I tried many things to get rid of this problem. I tried using those apple shaped things, the ones you put the liquid inside that attracts and kills them. The first time I used it, it worked somewhat well. But, after a few days, and after enough of them were dead inside of the liquid, they stopped working. I kept getting new ones, but every time I used a brand new one, it seemed to be less and less effective.I tried the vinegar and dish soap thing, too. Pretty much the same outcome as the apple shaped things, except even worse results. Less attraction, less killing.I tried the nuclear option one time as well: bug bombing my home last summer. I purchased a few of those bug bomb canisters. I had to cover tons of surfaces in my home so the chemicals didn’t leak into it, and then I had to cage up my cat and leave my home for most of the day, coming back myself once to open up windows to air the place out for a few hours. This absolutely did the job and killed 99.9% of them. However, a few things I dislike about this method. One, having to vacate my home for most of the day. Two, having to cover up all the surfaces of my home and be extra cautious when dealing with the entire situation. Three, the fact that it released a spray/vapor everywhere, hence why everything needed to be covered up. And four, but the worst part: They came back. It must not have killed them ALL, because in a few weeks, the problem was back. Unfortunate.If only there was a product that was efficient, kept working for a long period of time, didn’t require me to leave my home or be extremely cautious when using it, didn’t scare them away so they would go to the same places just to die, and was quick and easy to setup.Oh wait, there is. And this is it.This bug issue is a big problem. Well, it WAS a big problem. I say “was” because, thanks to this product, it isn’t anymore.I had three main hotspots in my home: one in the kitchen by the sink, one in my living room in front of the couch on my coffee table, and one in my gaming room on my shelves.I ordered the five pack.The first two, I hung in my kitchen. I have a large kitchen, so I hung one at each end, one of which directly above the center of the hotspot there.The third and fourth went into my living room. This room is also quite large, hence why I used two. One, I hung from the light fixture that lights the room. The second, I hung right next to the coffee table a few feet above it.The fifth and final strip, I hung off of a nail coming out of the top shelf in the gaming room.Please note that the only reason I used two in any room was because these were decently big rooms. Be safe, don’t stuff two or three of these things into your small bedroom.After the first 24 hours, I absolutely noticed a reduction in their numbers.After 72 hours (three days), however, they’re gone. 99.9% of them. There’s still the extremely occasional fly here and there, but at this point it’s rare. And it’s becoming more and more rare as time ticks on. Considering these last up to 4 months, I can rest assured the problem is gone. Like I said, my home only has this issue in the hot months, which these will be more than enough to cover.Normally, when I turned on my faucet, I’d see a bunch of fruit flies get startled and swarm around. I knew these things were the real deal the first time I turned on the faucet and saw 0 movement. Every time since then, I’ve looked as hard as I could for any movement when I turned on the faucet, and nothing. This is where the problem was the absolute worst, and now there’s literally none of them there.This product is not a REPELLENT. And that’s a GREAT thing. Why? Well, if you’re using this product, chances are, the bugs are already inside of your home. Using a repellent would not fix the problem. They aren’t going to open the front door and leave your house because of a repelling chemical, they’re just going to find somewhere else in your home to migrate to.With this product, the flies don’t even know there’s a chemical there. They think everything is normal, they behave totally normally. And that’s what we want. The fruit flies still love my drain. But, if they go there, they die. Quickly, too. They won’t just scatter and go somewhere else, they’ll simply die. Bug spray will kill them too, but it will also make that area unattractive to them, so they move, and eventually return to that same area once the spray has worn off. So you spray again, and again. No more, not with this product. Hang it where you see the most of them, and that’s it.I’ve had the product for a week now. I can absolutely attest to everything this product claims to do, except for how long it claims to last, which is 120 days (4 months). I haven’t had the product long enough to confirm that claim for myself firsthand, but considering every other claim the product made I’ve seen to be true firsthand, I feel pretty confident on trusting this final claim.I can also report that I’ve had no ill effects to my own health. Nor has my cat, and I’ve watched him like a hawk. Interestingly, the same chemical used in this is used in flea collars for cats as well, which is right under their nose and mouth, so I’m not to worried about this product and the small amount it releases into the air in a time-released, controlled fashion. Like an air freshener.So yeah, I’d highly recommend this product. I’m just one of MANY reviewers who has claimed that they tried everything but THIS is the product that worked. And it’s true.Note: I would try your best not to expose the strips to heat. Exposing the strips to heat can make the chemical release faster and in larger quantities, which is not good. I’d try to keep it out of direct, hot sunlight, and away from any other potential heat source.Cheers and good luck!
