Review: I've been battling fruit flies all summer and here into fall, It was never a huge infestation, just a few here and there, mostly in the Kitchen, but a few in the bathroom and occasionally buzzing in my face in the den. At first I just thought, well this is just summer in Michigan, bugs are a part of life, but eventually I got to my boiling point of having them buzz by my face one too many times so I decided to do something about it. I tried the home remedies first, all this praise over simple apple cider vinegar, and dish soap, I made several home made traps from recommendations I saw on some Youtube Videos, all swearing by the Apple Cider Vinegar, I put these out around where I saw the flies most frequently, mostly in the kitchen around the sink, and I never caught a single fruit fly, but my whole house stunk of Apple Cider Vinegar. I saw this low down in the recommendations here on desertcart, and thought, what's the worst that could happen, sure it says not to use in your house, but I'm a grown man, with no children or pets to worry about, so I thought worst case, I may get a little sick from it, but if I noticed any ill effects, I could just toss it and be out $7, I just ordered the one, because I had my skepticism and didn't want to waste any more money, if this too was a dud, and if it worked somewhat, and wasn't killing me, I could just order a few more, as it only took a day to get to my house. So on the day it arrived, I took it out of it's package and hung it over the sink. It didn't smell bad, not much of a smell at all really, unless you get right up to it and sniff it (probably not a good idea, it is poison after all, so I'm not recommending you do that). I checked on it two hours later, and the fruit flies were still hanging out around the sink, so I thought, well this doesn't work either. Gave it another two hours though, and checked again, and not a fruit fly one anywhere in sight. Not only that, I haven't seen a single one of those little buggers since anywhere in the house. They're just gone, Vanished. I imagine the died off somewhere, but they're so small, that unless they're moving, they're hard to spot, I'd imagine that many a little fruit fly carcass will have been vacuumed up, or else went back down the drain to die. I've left it hung up these last few days, just in case, but haven't noticed any ill effect to my health, no lingering odor, and no ill effect to any food I've prepared in the area. I'll probably take it down in a few more days just to be safe and move it out to the garage to kill off some bugs out there as it's supposed to last up to 40 days, so maybe I'll be able to get rid of any spiders or insects that have decided to winter in there out of this thing as well, which is a bonus. As far as the "Don't use it in your House" warnings, I'm convinced now that it's just some legal safety net for the company rather than an actual real danger. Long term exposure, who knows, maybe if you kept it up in an area you frequent for the full 40 days, yeah, it could start to affect you, but for a day or to to let it knock out the problem, you'll probably be fine. I can tell you one thing for sure though, I'll be buying a few more of these once spring comes back around to place out in my garage and on my back porch where I always have problems with flies and spiders so I can see how this thing really handles, and next time I get any fruit flies, this will be my first step in eliminating them rather than the last thing I try. Simply enough, IT WORKS! Review: I bought a car which had carpet beetles in it. I put these in and watched as the little things ran around next to it taunting me for several days. I was looking into what else I could do to be rid of the bugs and then they all died off. My SUV smells like coffee now but this did the job. I'll shampoo the interior and should be golden. ## Features - Designed to perfection - Compact construction - Packed with features - Brand: Hot Shot ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0019BK8AG | | ASIN | B0019BK8AG | | Brand Name | Hot Shot | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (14,147) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (14,147) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00071121055804 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Strip | | Item Volume | 2.29 Fluid Ounces | | Item Weight | 2.29 Ounces | | Item model number | HG-5580 | | Manufacturer Part Number | HG-5580 | | Model Number | HG-5580 | | Product Dimensions | 27.94 x 25.4 x 20.32 cm; 64.92 g | | Scent Name | Unscented | | UPC | 071121055804 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hot Shot - **Item form:** Strip - **Item volume:** 2.29 Fluid Ounces - **Scent:** Unscented - **Unit count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Hot Shot No-Pest Strip - Kills Flying and Crawling Insects, Penetrating Vapor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/715LVz0flLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have ants in my kitchen (but I don't have food out or anything). Is it safe to put this in a tiny laundry room that is inside a closet in kitchen?** A: I have one under my kitchen sink with the cabinet doors closed, and it's working fine. I think it would be safe to put in your laundry room closet. **Q: Cannot be shipped to my home? how are others ordering this? i do not have a po box.** A: They won't ship to MO as well. I also tried purchasing beetle traps, $4.72 for1 which they won't ship or $18 for 2 which they gladly will. Just trying to rip us all off. **Q: how many comes in a pack?** A: You can order 3 in a pack too.--That's what I''ll do--one will go in my hall way which you just pass through& the other 2 in my 2 entrances to the house,keeps the spiders away!! Good for garages/sheds,etc.--These have been on the mark for about 33-35yrs. now and I have used them ever sence they came out--if you want to order more when you save it then you can click to how many you want!! **Q: Suggested use to kill fruit flies in kitchen and bathroom?** A: I've used these for over 20 years. Now we can't put them in the kitchen or bedrooms. They do work great. Killing mosquitoes and spiders.

I put these in and watched as the little things ran around next to it taunting me for several days. I was looking into what else I could do to be rid of the bugs and then they all died off.

We even found that they were hanging out on the family room ceiling. so every evening, my husband pulled out the vacuum and used the hose attachment to suck in the flies overhead. Then our daughter came in one night and told us about her friend who had also battled fruit flies. Her friend recommended Hot Shot No-Pest Strip to us. I placed an order that same night for two strips. I forgot to mention that we had hung another brand of pest strip but it didn’t work. As soon as the Hot Shot No-Pest Strip arrived, my husband took them out their packages, hanging one in the kitchen over the sink and one in the family room. I truly believe that the strips started working that night. The next day it seemed like it was a lot less flies around us. And within 4 days except for one persistent fly, they were pretty much gone. That little fly was eventually caught on the bathroom mirror. No more flies. I know what we’ll be ordering next year. Hot Shot No-pest Strip, comes as a package of one. I highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hot Shot No-Pest Strip, Pack of 1 - Terro T801SR Garbage Guard Trash Can Insect Killer - Kills Flies, Roach, Maggots, Beetles, and Insects in Outdoor Garbage Can (Pack of 2) - TERRO Ant Killer Bait Stations T300B - Liquid Bait to Eliminate Ants - 12 Count Stations for Effective Indoor Ant Control --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/287460355-hot-shot-no-pest-strip-kills-flying-and-crawling-insects](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/287460355-hot-shot-no-pest-strip-kills-flying-and-crawling-insects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
