The Glovv 24-pack offers a high-volume supply of traditional fly ribbons, making it an economical choice for seasonal insect surges. These ribbons utilize a wax-coated Kraft paper substrate and a high-tack polyisobutylene adhesive. This non-toxic formulation is safe for use in residential kitchens and pantries, providing a mechanical solution that captures gnats and flies without releasing any volatile organic compounds.
Each ribbon is designed to be extracted from its cardboard housing via a pull-tab. In very humid or hot environments, the adhesive can become more viscous, so it is helpful to hang these in areas with stable temperatures to prevent any dripping. The yellow-tan hue of the paper acts as a natural visual lure for fungus gnats, making them effective for placement near indoor potted plants. Because the adhesive is very strong, care should be taken to hang them where they won't accidentally catch on hair or pet fur.
Usage tips include:
- Warming the tube in your hands before pulling to ensure a smooth unspooling.
- Replacing the ribbons once the surface is covered to maintain capture efficiency.
- Using them in garages or mudrooms as a first line of defense against incoming pests.
For a different approach that uses pheromone-assisted lures, the Catchmaster 20-pack offers a scented alternative.
