Has anyone used this product to trap flying insects attracted to yellow such as fungus gnats, whiteflies or thrips AND had success?

Brush it on anything yellow, such a yellow bucket, hard hat, yellow posterboard, etc.. It should work.. I have been saving blue old Maxwell House coffee containers, blue buckets, to use this spring to trap yellow flies, deer flies that have been horrible the last couple of years here in coastal GA. It was amazing how well the Tanglefoot & the color blue attracted & trapped so many flies. I am talking anywhere between 400 or 500 hundred that went for the blue instead of me, or my animals. Tanglefoot is the bomb!

I used this last summer in NC to try and kill Yellow Fly's. I painted a couple of beach balls black and then put tanglefoot all over the ball. It did trap a mess of them.

We live on the Gulf Coast and used this product in an attempt to control yellow flies without success. We coated blue and black objects on "expert" advice but no luck. If you can find a color the insects will go to, I am sure this product will work. It is sticky and stays sticky for months.

We put it on a black ball to attract dear flies and it was somewhat successful. Got the smaller bugs more than the larger ones, such as the flies.

the bottle is labeled for fungus gnats. I've sprinkled them on every plant in my house and even made a solution by mixing them with warm water to water my plants. I have sticky yellow gnat traps in all my plants plants and they are covered with the little buggers. So far, I'm not agreeing that it effective for the gnats. Works great for mosquitoes though!

It catches any flying insects that are attracted to light. We get moths, flies, mosquitoes, crane flys, beetles, etc. Gnats come in many size, the only concern I would have if there is a gnat that is so small it would squeeze through the screen. It is pretty fine. The way the trap works is flying insects are attracted to the light and sucked into a chamber with a mild vacuum caused by an internal fan. Starting in the spring and ending every fall have two running in our house 24/7.

I tried mine in the barn, and it didn't do very well attracting flies. This year I am going to buy the fly trap that comes in the bag. I have 2 glass jars inside the zapper and I am going to make up the stinky solution in the bag and pour it into the glass jars. My plan it that since they love that stinky stuff so much, they will go check out the jars and get zapped.

I personally know that it does work on yellow jackets. But you must be persistent because by any means they are hard to become rid of. That was my intent and have not used it for anything else.

Fruit Flies and Gnats wiggle their way free, so I doubt blackflies would get stuck. Tiny whiteflies will stick to the trap, but not much else. I haven't used them outdoors, so I'm not sure how well they work other insects. The local home pest control sells little glue boards made to catch spiders. Those things seem to catch anything. I've seen several large house flies stuck to them, so they should work if you can find them.

I don't know if this works on gnats because that was not my intended use, I just wanted to disrupt the life cycle of biting flies and such. Check on google to find what is most effective, good luck!

I used it on these gnats that have occupied one of our floor plants and although it killed the all of the flies, the plant started to dwindle so you may want to consider an alternative means. Perhaps dropping a spider there but thats kind of cruel.

I've tried both this trap and your soapy water+candle method. Both were equally ineffective for fleas. (Although if you have fruit flies, a soda bottle with a little soap+apple cider vinegar in it and a paper funnel taped to the mouth works great. The fruit flies fly in, can't fly out, and drown.)

Yes, the light attracts all types of flies, gnats and other type small insects and the glue board catches them. I had more of a problem prior to purchasing this product. Key is to turn off all other lights at night for the product to work more efficiently. If its the only light on, the insects, bugs, flies, gnats, etc. will be attracted to the product. I would rate this product 8 out of 10. Nothing in life or products on earth is perfect!

I just followed the directions and it worked fairly well. That is, I did see a difference in the flies. I used it in a horse barn that has open areas to the outside. The spray was done inside, but the outside area was very close to the sprayed areas. It surely is worth a try if you are trying to control pests.

You can bait it with whatever you want, but you will attract whatever likes your bait. What comes with this trap specifically attracts yellowjackets and it works great. I trapped dozens of them and nothing else.

Preferably live bugs. Most of the time they catch enough on their own. I have a baggie over one of my plants to provide greenhouse humidity, and it still seems to catch tiny moths and gnats. Always use only distilled or R/O water and the flytrap growing media. Every time I have tried to vary from this, I have started the slow demise of my plant.

I don't think that bait would be attractive to fruit flies. It's really designed for house flies and blow flies.

I haven't tried it on a yellow jacket or wasp. I didn't want to anger it if the electric swatter didn't kill it instantly. The Executioner Pro kills gnats and small flies immediately! Big flies are stunned and fall, to be finished off by your preference. I used it on a katydid (big green grasshopper). It fell but quickly flew away. I hope this helps.

The powder that is in the trap may kill them. I noticed they have killed moths and other flying insects.

This is a thick liquid with a brush inside the lid to use. I've only known of it to be used for trapping flying insects such as yellow flies, deer flies and the like
