Catches fruit flies and gnats around plants with yellow sticky traps that stay put on a stake
- fruit flies hovering over houseplants
- fungus gnats around potted soil
- flying insects near indoor plants
- pests outdoors near plants
Catch the fruit flies hovering over your plants
Yellow sticky cards sit on green stakes right in the soil, where fungus gnats and fruit flies gather. Set a few tonight and the cloud over your pots starts to thin within days.
A card that sits where the pests hover
- Built to sit at soil level
The pointed green stake pushes into soil in seconds. Side clips hold the yellow card at the top of the stake, so the trap sits where fungus gnats and fruit flies circle the pot. Nothing slides off a leaf or a windowsill.
- Sunproof for outdoor beds
The cards carry a sunproof label for outdoor use. Set them along garden beds when flying pests show up in warm weather, then keep the same stakes in the pots indoors.
- Value across every pot
The pack holds 50 stakes and 100 cards. That is enough for a shelf of houseplants and a couple of garden beds, at a low cost per trap.
Three steps from box to pot
- 1Push the stake into the soil
Set the pointed tip into the soil beside the plant, pressing down until the stake stands firm.
- 2Clip the card on top
Slide the side clips onto the stake so the yellow card sits near the top of the pot, level with where the gnats hover.
- 3Swap cards as they fill
Check the card every few days. When the adhesive is covered with insects or dust, clip on a fresh one.

Questions and answers
Both. The yellow adhesive pulls in fruit flies and gnats alike. Because the card sits at soil level, it catches the gnats that rise from wet potting mix, which high hanging strips usually miss.
Yes. The cards are labeled sunproof for outdoor use, so they work in garden beds and on balcony pots. Check them after heavy rain and swap in a fresh card once the adhesive is covered.
The cards are sticky, so set them where pets and small children cannot pull them down. Push the stake deep enough that the card stays upright and out of reach.
Start with one card per pot, placed at the top of the soil. Add a second card near a fruit bowl or a pot that keeps drawing flies. The 100 cards cover a lot of pots before you need to restock.
The stake is slim and pushes into loose soil beside the root ball, not through it. If the soil is dry and hard, water the pot first. To remove it, wiggle the stake gently rather than pulling it hard.
