Halloween-themed hanging fly and insect trap that doubles as a seasonal decoration
- flying insects indoors
- flies and bees around outdoor spaces
Catch the flies. Keep the Halloween glow.
Flies buzz over every autumn meal and sticky strips look like a chore. Hang a carved pumpkin trap and the bugs disappear while your porch still looks festive.
A pumpkin that works as a trap
- A pumpkin that hides the trap
The translucent body lets the orange glow through, and the carved jack-o'-lantern face reads as Halloween decor from across the yard. Flies and bees that drift close to the body end up caught inside, out of sight. The ribbed segments give the shape its character and a firm grip when you handle it.
- Hangs anywhere you need it
The green stem has a hanging hole, so one hook is all it takes. Set it by a kitchen window, on a patio rail or beside the back door where the flies already gather. The stem and calyx on top keep the pumpkin looking finished from every angle.
- Compact enough for any window
The body is compact, so it fits on a window hook, a balcony rail or a narrow porch corner without crowding the space. Pick orange for a classic look or yellow for a brighter porch, in one or two-piece sets.
Hang it where the flies already gather
- 1Find the fly spot
Look for where flies already gather: the window by the kitchen sink, the patio table, the back door.
- 2Hang at eye level
Slip a hook through the hanging hole in the green stem and set the pumpkin at about head height.
- 3Leave it up
Keep it hung through the season and check it once a week.
- 4Swap when full
Replace it once it fills so the catch stays strong for the rest of fly season.
Keep it catching all season
- Keep out of full sun
Heat can soften the plastic and fade the orange and yellow, so hang it in shade or indirect light.
- Replace when full
Check the trap weekly during fly season and swap it out once it fills with insects.
- Wipe the body
A damp cloth clears dust from the translucent body so the carved face keeps its glow.

Questions and answers
It is a working trap. Flies and bees that come near the translucent body get caught inside, so placement matters more than room size. Hang it where you already see insects gathering, like the window, patio table or back door, and it will do the job while still reading as decor.
It is a hanging trap, not a spray, so nothing is released into the air. Hang it at head height or higher, and keep the cord and stem out of reach of small children and pets. Keep it above and beside the food area rather than directly over it.
Yes. The green stem has a hanging hole, so it hangs from a hook or cord you already have, such as a window latch hook, a balcony rail hook or a cup hook. It does not need adhesive or drilling.
Fly season ends with the first frost, so the trap earns its place for a few weeks. It is made from translucent colored plastic with carved face molding, and it stays up as Halloween decor after the season instead of a sticky strip you throw away. You pay once for a trap you can display every October.
Hang it at about eye level near the spots where flies gather: by a kitchen window, above the patio table or beside the back door. Give it a few days in the same spot before judging, since the catch depends on how many insects are active around it.
