Review: Works on fungus gnats! - We live in Oklahoma and for some reason FUNGUS GNATS love it here. When we moved to Oklahoma from California I mistook them for smaller fruit flies, but upon further investigation through google pics I found out EXACTLY what the little annoying boogers were. If you have potted plants in your home you have to deal with these darn gnats! The key is to NOT over water your plants because they are attracted to water & watered soil. Once they have laid their eggs in the soil their larvae will eat at the roots of your plants and kill your plants sucking the life out of them. I had lost several plants before I caught onto what they were doing.....once again I found out via google! There is a method of killing the eggs & larvae using a mixture of 1 part peroxide to 3 parts water if you're having trouble with them killing your plants (Google for the info) but this only kills the eggs and larvae not the adults, for the adults I use the sticky traps. The peroxide & water mixture won't hurt your plants because after the peroxide is done fizzing it turns to harmless water. I like hearing the fizzing knowing it is killing those little monsters! Even if you don't have plants in your home they love any spots where there's water around such as bathrooms and kitchens. Lord knows how many of these stupid bugs we've swallowed in our sleep because they are also attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale. Yum! Anyways, I didnt want to use pesticides in my home because the air quality inside homes is already poor enough as it is and I am sensitive to chemicals . I found these were rated pretty good with desertcart customers for being nontoxic traps. They do not have any attractant on them, but the fact that they are yellow attracts the gnats to them naturally. The gnats like to crawl and hop on the surface of the soil so I fold the tabs in half and put it down on soil like a tent and have also hung them over stems of my plants. I have also used the little spikes they come with. It works for me either way. When you see my pic you know why I rated them 5 stars. To all those in the fight against these evil menaces...I salute you!!!
Review: DEFINITELY WORKS! - These are working great! I like to rescue dead/dying plants from my local store. I'll bring them into my office and take care of them until they are rehabilitated then relocate them to other parts of our office or friends/family. Well, I brought in a miniature rose bush in a pot a few weeks ago and a couple of weeks later noticed I had gnats in the office. My first control attempt was to stop watering for about a month. That didn't solve the problem - the gnats had migrated over to some larger plants with bigger pots that retain moisture longer than the smaller ones do. My second control attempt was to hang a sticky fly ribbon from the ceiling over the weekend. When I returned that Monday there was easily 30 gnats stuck to the ribbon. That's when I knew the gnat issue was bigger than it looked like - I had only seen a few gnats but apparently, it was a full blown infestation. Since it's a bit unsightly to leave fly strips hanging from the ceiling ANYWHERE, especially an office, I opted to give these a try. They are more discreet and you can leave them staked in the back of your potted plants pretty much full time without anyone going "ew" when they see it. It's sort of like a little sticky flower! The first weekend after having these guys staked in all of my plants yielded massive results. They caught EASILY 100+ gnats. I had NO idea there was that many! I'd only ever seen maybe 2 at a time. I'm guessing it only takes a few to lay hundreds of eggs in the soil, so I am extremely glad I got these in when I did or I might have had a cloud of gnats flying around the office. Since some of the sheets filled up, I am re-ordering a few of these kits now. When the reproductive cycle breaks and I stop catching gnats on them, I intended to keep every other plant staked as a maintenance/prevention measure for future issues. Update: This completely resolved my gnat issue after a week or two. I still keep the plants staked with the strips and every so often I’ll see something stuck to it... having gone through that gnat explosion nightmare I’m extremely appreciative that these are preventing a repeat infestation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These WORK for fungus gnats! Extremely sticky
*by W***R on June 6, 2019*

••Do you have fungus gnats? •• If you have indoor plants, probably so! Fungus gnats are the most common type of small indoor fly. They’re small, black, and bad at flying(!) because their wings are too delicate for their dumb bodies. They tend to walk or fly clumsily, which makes them fairly easy to catch. They live in the soil of potted plants. If you have tiny black flies AND young plants, seedlings or cuttings, or any potted plants that were packaged and delivered via mail (read: got an extra big drink of water before being bundled up for shipping), you almost certainly have fungus gnats. ••Why is this happening??!!•• Immature or larval (*gag*) fungus gnats thrive in damp soil. It is normal for soil or potting mix to contain some baby bugs, but the larvae—>flying menace infestation thing only kicks off when soil is OVERWATERED. Go by the feel of the soil rather than a watering schedule to best avoid overwatering (and gnats!). For most common houseplants, you want to be able to stick your finger down 3-5cm (1-2”) into the soil and pull it out clean, like when you use a toothpick to test a cake. Check on your plants every week, and if your finger is covered in dirt, don’t add any water. Check more frequently when anything in your plants’ environment changes: the seasons, the temp/humidity of the rooms they live in, new potting soil/repotting, etc. ••Great for next time, but erm...help•• Fungus gnats are attracted to the color yellow, and the adhesive on these Sticky Stakes will trap them before they have a chance to lay more eggs. A female fungus gnat lays 300 eggs in her 1 week life, so you can see the benefit in trapping as many as you can ASAP. You need more than you think you will, but I find this brand affordable. The adhesive is super sticky, which makes them very effective (but if you get one stuck to your plant’s leaves or your hair just cut your losses. Literally). **There’s a trick to using the yellow stickies!** Lay the sticky paper horizontally across the soil of your houseplants, sticky-side down. That’s the trick. Cover the soil with sticky-down yellow traps. This method lets you trap the grown gnats as soon as they emerge from the soil, before they’ve had the chance to take flight into your house and harass you. They still work on the stakes, but it’ll take longer to get the infestation under control bc not every gnat will fly to the trap. To rid your house/plants of fungus gnats even faster, in addition to the Sticky Stakes get a bag of diatomaceous earth to help 1) dry the soil right away, 2) desiccate some of the gnat eggs, and 3) make it harder to accidentally overwater in the future. TL;DR: IF YOU HAVE FUNGUS GNATS, THE YELLOW PAPER IN THIS PRODUCT WORKS GREAT WHEN PLACED HORIZONTALLY (STICKY-SIDE DOWN) ACROSS SOIL.
