Product Information

Light traps such as the DynaTrap Flylight Indoor Insect Trap are a more modern fly trap that use UV light to attract insects. These traps are typically used indoors and use a glue card or container to trap the flies. Light traps have the advantage of being pet and kid safe, odorless, and mess-free, though they require electricity to work. Most fly traps should automatically attract and trap flies when they venture too close. However, knowing exactly where to place the trap helps yield the best possible results. Here are a few tips we think will help maximize the effectiveness of your new fly trap. Though each ribbon can last up to three months, once the ribbon is full you should throw it away. The disposal method isn’t as clean as other options, but it’s fairly simple. Just wrap the trap in a newspaper, paper, or plastic bag, and throw it in the trash.

Compared to others on our list, this fly trap has a slightly more complex setup, and you’ll need to supply your own string or wire for hanging. Follow the directions on the bag to expose the trap entrance, then add water to activate the bait and hang the trap outside. Lured by the scent, flies enter the trap through the cap and drown in the water. Flies are attracted to sweet or decaying odors, so use bait that mimics those smells. This may include sugar water, rotting fruit, or fruit juice. We have a range of effective fly control solutions, including Rentokil fly box and electric fly killers .

Homemade fly traps, natural home remedies and DIY fly control products can help to alleviate minor annoyances with flies. If however, flies become a constant and persistent nuisance, you’ll need the expertise and knowledge of professional pest controllers to effectively eradicate the fly infestation. Use multiple fly traps for the best results. Place them strategically to cover the entire area and maximize their effectiveness. Due to the bait’s strong smell, you’ll need to hang the trap at least 20 feet away from any living spaces. If you have a porch or other outdoor living space, you’ll want to hang the trap away from these areas as the trap will attract any insects within smelling distance. Dr. Thomas cautions that, “Liquid fly containers have an attractant that can draw in more flies. They have been known to attract hundreds of flies that may otherwise not have been an issue.” However, Dr. Thomas says these traps work very well and are great to use if you need to kill a lot of flies—you’ll just want to be sure they’re placed outdoors and far away from the areas you’re trying to keep fly-free.

This reusable option is best suited for situations when you have a large number of flies in outdoor areas and don’t want to keep replacing traps. Since the strong-smelling bait will attract flies, ensure that you place these traps at least 20 feet away from living areas or other spaces that you’re trying to keep free of flies. Change the bait regularly, ideally every few days. As the bait in the trap starts to decompose, it will become less effective over time.Before buying a fly trap, Thomas advises a multi-step process to make sure you have the best chance of completely eradicating the flies. Most fly traps use either bait or UV light to attract flies. While UV light is harmless, bait may be made from chemicals. If you have pets or children, keep these traps out of reach, or opt for a pesticide-free bait. Zap traps also pose a safety risk if kids or pets touch them. Price When the trap is full, discard the dead insects into the trash, re-bait, and add water to reuse the trap. The wide mouth of the trap allows easy filling and washing, though keep in mind the trap should not be cleaned in a dishwasher. Putting traps outside not only helps with outdoor infestations, but can also help with your indoor fly problem as flies are often attracted into the area from items left outdoors. Dr. Thomas says house flies are attracted to “nearby garbage or garbage receptacles, decaying plants, lawn clippings, straw, mulch, and other organic items in the open.” Look for a fly trap that is durable and made from high-quality materials. A well-made trap will last longer and be more effective at catching flies. Care

The non-toxic Safer Indoor Fly Trap is the best fly trap for indoors, especially for homes with curious kids and pets. The trap uses light as a lure so it doesn’t have any chemical insecticides or baits that could be harmful. The trap looks more like a night light or an air freshener than a fly trap and is one of the best-designed on our list, seamlessly blending in with home decor. Once a survey of your premises is completed we will recommend a fly control treatment program that is tailored to your specific fly issues that will provide long-term effective protection against flies. Our fly control service includes:The non-staining bait within the trap attracts adult fruit flies, and the apple-shaped trap design is designed to blend into the kitchen, a favorite hangout spot for fruit flies. Each trap has a built-in window, allowing you to easily keep an eye on how many flies have been caught and bait levels. Each of the two traps included lasts up to 45 days, giving you up to 90 days of protection.

After 30 days or once the trap is full, wrap a bag around the trap and put it in the trash. These traps are specially designed for flies—if mosquitoes are the problem insect in your yard, you might want to hire a mosquito control company or use a mosquito repellent. If you’re interested in natural outdoor pest control methods, consider planting insect-repelling outdoor plants in your garden or around your home.The trap uses a UV LED light to attract flying insects, which are then caught by the trap’s glue card. The thoughtful design hides the dead insects as they pile up on the glue card. This trap advertises 400 square feet of protection, so multiple traps may be required for full home coverage. Consider the capacity of the fly trap, especially if you’re using it in a commercial or high-traffic area. A larger trap will be able to hold more flies and require less frequent emptying. Durability
