HOT SHOTNo-Pest Strip, Pack of 1

I don't know what this voodoo is, but it is the ONLY product that works. About 5 years ago we had a fruit/drain fly infestation. I tried fly spray, Apple traps, drain cleaner, blue light sticky plug ins, none worked. Well, the plug in did catch some. Then I got this...bingo, the next day, no flies.Now this year same thing... tried all the previous things then I remembered this product. Again, put it in our kitchen window one evening, next morning maybe 3-4 flies. Next day NO MORE. About a week later, we are happily flyless.Seems like we get these drain flies when it is a really rainy year.

For anyone is the hospitality industry, and restaurants, I just want to state, this is the only product I have found to remove fruit flies and keep them away. I have done it all, from bleach or dove down the drains, the "traps", and even "bombing" an area in the past. Everything else just kills the existing pests, and this removes them from the breading zones and keeps them away. Be aware, you are going to make them mad the first few days and have a worse issue, but then gone! It states they are good for 120 days, but I replace every 90 and never have an issue. Cheaper and more affective than any pest control company and their temporary solutions. Just put in any areas that have water, so your dish, beer drains, soda machine and 3 compartment sinks. As this is considered a chemical, make sure it is away from food as the health department will ask you to remove these like any other chemical.

We’d been having a huge fly issue with our big blue trash can. They were all over it, even though we washed it out with a hose regularly. The Florida heat just accelerated the food rotting, I guess? I bought this on a whim and what a relief to see that it’s working!! We stuck it on with some double-sided Gorilla Glue mounting tape and it’s held on so far even after two trash pick-ups. I’ll definitely continue buying these going forward.

Okay... so I read the other reviews in regards to not using this in "living" areas... I read several of them... but you know what.. I was desparate, and desperate times called for desperate measures...I had already had a mild fruit fly problem in my small apartment (about 750 square feet).. and like a bubblehead... I left one morning in a hurry after making a smoothie and neglected to clean up.. I managed to leave a few strawberries on the counter right next to an unfinished glass of wine.. I then left and didn't return for about three days..I came home to the Fruit-FlyAgeddon.. Fruit-Apocolypse... It was HORRIBLE. I spent the entire weekend, swatting flies away from my face, my laptop screen, my television screen.. I even tried vacuuming them from the various areas they would land.. I spent hours over the course of a weekend waving my vacuum hose around in my living room like some cracked out Ninja with a lame sword trying in vain to suck up the little mutants as they flit around my apartment.And then it happened. I went to open my bedroom window; and there it was.The Fruit Fly Village. In my bedroom window.. hundreds of them... milling about.Shopping, playing, singing, dining, mocking me.It was 20 degrees outside and I had to sleep with a fan blowing towards me to keep the little mutants from landing on me while I tried in vain to sleep beneath Fruit Fly Village.. I literally cried myself to sleep. Because I realized.. those little freaks had been in my apartment.. all along. Just waiting for me to mess up.. and I did..I fought them over the long Thanksgiving Weekend.. and first tried the vinegar/dishsoap thing.. I freaked out when I saw all the bodies floating.. but the vinegar just seemed to draw them out.. it wasn't alleviating the problem.. It was merely punctuating the severe issue that I had..Then, after returning home one evening It was then that I cracked. I could not cook in my kitchen as they would land everywhere.. I couldn't even hang out in my living room.. While trying to watch the Mindy Project I spent the entire show swatting them away from my face... And I definitely couldn't enjoy a glass of beloved wine.. I couldn't even put my makeup on in my bathroom without one of the mutants landing on my foundation on my face, I even swallowed a couple of them during a workout... Yes.. I couldn't even enjoy my Tae-Bo... They had taken over..I'd had it...I hopped online and immediately ordered the No-Pest Strip... Prime Membership.. spent the extra $3.99 to get it the next day..I thought to myself... I will risk the adult onset ADD..This must end... I want my life back.I hung it up... and after a few hours.. noticed that nothing was flying around my head as I watched television.. but I think it was all in my mind.. I decided to go to bed.. place it in my tiny kitchen.. and see what would happen. I closed myself up in my bedroom to try to minimize the ADD fumes..The next morning.. I noticed not much.. I dressed for work and left. Upon arriving home.. I began to notice.. the tiny carcasses on my kitchen counter.. I cleaned them all.. In my bathroom, I noticed a few carcasses in my tub. OMG.. could it be working? There was a faint smell.. not intrusive.. but just enough to remind me that the ADD stick was working.. Then, the big test.. I sat on my sofa to watch television.. I was only accosted by one lone fruit fly..I was winning..And now.. the battle is almost won. It has eliminated 90% of the mutants.. I made the mistake of forgetting to plug in the drains in the kitchen and just went and found quite a few plotting their attack.. I attacked them with a bottle of Clorox and some very hot water.. I am strong now Mutants..I am winning.Yeah.. this stuff works..I have my bedroom back.. they are gone.. only a few here and there.. Easy to kill..I will let it hang for two more days.. and then discard my ADD stick..I have my apartment back!

Reading all comments , giggling to myself , these do not stop bugs from coming in , they don’t like it after awhile , these are killing bugs in an area , I have never put them in my house . I’ve used in my boats , as well campers and garages , cellars and attics . If you are inside it , like any bug killer chemicals , you air out the area . Before being in that area . You should not inhale any bug killer chemical. You will become sick and do not be in a closed area with these. Or any bug chemical . As well animals or children . I’ve used these sence they came out , beats bombing every month . No messes . But one is not gonna work in a huge area , I’d advise , 1 per 10x10 room . In closed up for 24 hours , at least . Then air out area . If you are inside use of the room .

Have these hung in attic to control stink bugs and cluster flies . Does a credible job of reducing the population .

Plain and simple. It does what it’s supposed to do. Each late spring I purchase and hang 3 in my garage and 3 in my attic. I obviously know how flying insects get into my garage during the day but by the next morning they’re laying on the floor. I hardly go up to my large walk around attic but however they’re getting in they don’t make it out. They’re mostly lying on the attic window sills. So I bring a hand vacuum and problem solved.
