or I have a new generation of gnats who are smarter than their forebearers.

Very disappointing.

They work really good for me.

It took a while for them to start showing up on mine.

@goldensrbest

when I purchased my most recent refill (I always get 4) they were all placed inside the large box without being separated. Also, there is a new fly paper pattern. Just seemed odd and then to discover that it doesn't work.

@willowbark We have bought 3 bottles of the stuff. And have been very disappointed. Tried to get rid of fruit flies. I personally had a better kill rate than Zevo. And believe me my kill rate was pitiful.

Not buying it again. I have never had so many fruit flies as we have had this year.

I even opened the other packages on the shelf and they were all like that. Maybe I'll buy from a different store next time just to see.

@goldensrbest

what prompted me to look inside the other packages is they rattled around in that larger box as soon as I picked it up.

Yes, the spray bottles.

Had ants in the spring but Terro traps took care of the ants.

We used the indoor dyna traps for a couple of years, they worked very well, I had 4 of them in the house, office and camper. GREAT!! Now they are gone, can't find replacements. The zevo plugins don't work very well, and the spray is laughable, it only works if I drown them in it. Terro traps are great for ants, we have Ehrlich pest control for in the house but I won't use them outside.

I am a big fan of the blue light sticky traps. They work well here in OR and even catch some mosquitoes with it. We are rural and I swear a door is always open downstairs. It does well with flies, gnats, moths, some mosquitoes.

One in the kitchen.
One near the front door.
One in the upstairs bathroom.
