These traditional hanging fly ribbons offer a non-toxic way to manage flying insects in high-traffic areas like kitchens and pantries. The pack includes 24 individual rolls, each with its own mounting pin, making it a high-value option for households facing active infestations. The adhesive is made from a blend of mineral oil and polyisobutylene, ensuring it remains effective without the use of chemical pesticides or volatile organic compounds.
The paper substrate is designed with wet-strength properties to help it resist tearing during deployment. To ensure the ribbon unspools smoothly, warming the tube in your hands for a few seconds can help loosen the adhesive before you pull the tab. While the strips are effective for capturing houseflies, they work best as a mechanical barrier. In areas with high temperatures, the adhesive can become more fluid; it is best to hang these away from direct heat sources to prevent any dripping on surfaces below.
Practical tip: For fruit fly management, placing a small container of apple cider vinegar near the hanging ribbon can help draw pests toward the trap.
For a version that stays completely out of sight on the glass, consider the Bugbane clear window traps which use a similar non-toxic glue.
