Does this trap work for smaller indoor flies like fruit flies, gnats, or fungus flies?

I really do not know. I only use them outside for flies and it works great. They are not that expensive so maybe try one inside and see what happens.

I just put new Victor bait in my trap and it really stinks. I would not recommend that you use it inside unless you enjoy stink. As a result, I cannot answer your question. It does seem to catch real small flies that look like houseflies outside.

Dude. you do not want to put this inside man. This is totally an outside item. My 4yr old keeps wanting to drink it. I mean... to be honest I totally would let her if my brother wasn't such a wuss. I remember I would try to put metal chopsticks in the electrical socket and my parents didn't stop me. Why? Because once I get electrocuted I would learn my lesson. And you know what? It worked. As a 26yr old man I have no desire to stick metal things into the electrical socket.My short answer is no.

It traps them until they die. It's very effective but the downside is it stinks really bad and you don't want to hang it inside your house. We have 2 hanging by our garage doors and that's where most of the flies go.

Hi, Kristen. So far mine has not caught any gnats, it catches a lot of flies though. Works great, and is put together good to. For the gnats, I suggest, those sticky traps. I have used them to, and they are great. They catch everything, that flies. I got them from Amazon to. Have two in my back yard. Dolores

No, for larger rodents get The Better Rodent Trap, http://www.intruderinc.com/collections/better-pest-control-solutions/products/the-better-rodentrap

I don't know about roaches but it certainly works for fruit flies, mosquitos, and gnats indoors.

The trap will work for gnats, but set it on a table, instead of the sticky pad cut a circle of white plastic (like a nice shopping bag) and put it in the bottom, and fill it with either soapy water or diluted apple cider vinegar.

Does this actually kill flies or does it just trap them till they die? Also, Can this be used in home? or does it smell bad?

It should trap any insect that is attracted to light, since I don't have gnats I can't answer the question.

I don't know what type flies we have in Arizona, but it traps them. If black flies are attracted to smells they will probably go in the trap. Works very well here.

I can not tell the difference between flies. It basically attracts them and they can't get out so they drown. The same company sells a Yellow Jacket, Fly, and Fruit Fly trap and also a trap only for fruit flies.

Yes, and it does it very well. I put mine in my bedroom and turn out all the lights in the room a few hours before bed time. Any gnats, mosquitoes, flies, or any other flying insect will be attracted to the light and sucked in. Then I move the unit to another part of the house and let it run all night. I love this trap.

I dont see any gnats in my traps. Just flys. A bug zapper might work. If your have problems inside the house i use a Fly Web Fly Trap. Pricey, but it work on gnats, fruit flies, and fly's.

I had little luck with the little plastic screw-top traps. I had excellent results using the small bags. I do not know enough about flies to identify what I trapped, but many were tiny.

No. Fruit flies and gnats are not the same. You can learn more about their differences here: http://animals.pawnation.com/difference-between-gnats-fruit-flies-6532.html. Regarding whether the TERRO Fruit Fly Trap will work on gnats, you will have to contact the manufacturer. I hope this helps.

Yes, the trap I have in the kitchen does great with fruit flies and rug bugs. I even caught a real fly which surprised me, because he got stuck, flew off and then came back. I have a second unit in the basement crawl space and that one is filled with little gnatty bugs. You will need to order extra fly paper, as the unit only comes with one sheet. In the crawl space, I also hung fly paper from the hardware store next to the light and that filled up with the little gnats as well. Good luck.

Absolutely! The smaller the insect, the more likely it is to get trapped. They kind of just get sucked in my the fan. Larger insects are attracted to the light. I plugged mine in for the first time this year, and I had to empty it within the first 48 hours, which is really fast. It was completely full - Bugs on the inside and beatles in the water along the outside. BEST TRAP I'VE EVER HAD!

I am pretty sure the smell attracts more flies than you would normally see in the area where you hang the trap. The good thing is that the trap lures them so they don't fly near your windows or your patio table.
