Definitely Sticky, But Effective
My bumbling, novice attempt to grow a few herbs inside an apartment turned into hoards of fungus gnats. Tiny bowls of homemade concoctions with vinegar and dish soap killed a few, but more of my 3-inch prep bowls were being used to drown gnats than for preparing recipe ingredients. So I ordered the butterflies. One butterfly caught more gnats in 24 hours than the home remedy did in weeks. Pros: They’re sticky, the yellow butterfly traps are cute in the pots, and they catch a lot of gnats. Cons: They’re REALLY STICKY, so it takes a little patience and care when peeling and placing the traps. I peeled from the bottom of the wings upward, but if you don’t peel slowly and evenly the paper tears also. Once the adhesive is exposed, it sticks to EVERYTHING it touches: fingers, plant leaves and stems, dirt, plastic, cloth, any surface. If you’re hanging it and using a sturdy enough hanger, you could peel it after it’s hung (the hangers included are just twist ties).
