The Fly Inn Window Trap

Oh my gosh, I’m so surprised every time I look in these traps that there’s more flies and gnats and bugs! I rarely get the fly-swatter out anymore because I know eventually they’re gonna end up in this trap! It’s kind of sad, like a little insect cemetery … but it’s also super satisfying… lol UPDATING Aug 2016: I am finally gonna switch out the sticky trap - I left it on for a very long time basically bc I’m cheep and don’t want to have to buy more inserts yet. But I just posted a video and it’s insane how much stuff this thing traps!! To think I would have had that many bug carcasses in my house somewhere else to vacuum up!

Let me preface this with the fact that I utterly despise flies - especially in my kitchen. I cannot even cook if there's one fly in my kitchen. I can't eat if there's a fly in the dining room. We have a farm. There are inevitably a lot of flies. Tell me who wants to deal with those annoying sticky ugly yellow strips in a place where you're dealing with food!! I installed two of these side by side on the window I see the flies spending the most time on. I think that's important: to observe their behavior first. Starting with a very clean window, and then applying water to the suction cups; I had good suction. At the start, one side was giving me trouble. I cleaned with a Windex-style solution and it was fixed. The surface must be totally clean for suction. On one window I placed a trap on the bottom of the pane, and on the other side of the window, I placed the trap at the top. I feel that two on one window works really well for me. My husband will have to clean these for me because it turns my stomach but I finally found a solution to our fly problem that actually works!

I recently purchased Dr. Killigan's The Fly Inn in hopes of effectively dealing with fly infestations. However, I must express my disappointment with this product. Despite its visually appealing design and discreet appearance, it failed to deliver the expected results. Allow me to elaborate on my experience with this fly trap. At first glance, Dr. Killigan's The Fly Inn appears aesthetically pleasing and inconspicuous, making it suitable for placement in various areas, including the kitchen. I appreciate the effort put into its design to ensure it doesn't look like a typical, unsightly fly trap. Regrettably, the main issue lies in the product's effectiveness. Despite diligently following the provided instructions, the fly trap failed to perform satisfactorily. I found that it caught an abysmal number of flies, with fewer than five flies caught in either trap. Considering the purpose of a fly trap is to attract and capture flies, this level of ineffectiveness is highly disappointing. It's crucial to have a reliable and efficient solution for managing fly infestations, and unfortunately, Dr. Killigan's The Fly Inn falls short in this regard. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this product to others seeking an effective fly trap solution. While its appealing appearance and lack of obviousness may be appealing, its performance leaves much to be desired. Pros: Visually appealing design Discreet appearance suitable for various areas Cons: Ineffective in capturing flies Caught less than five flies in either trap Overall disappointing performance In conclusion, my experience with Dr. Killigan's The Fly Inn was highly unsatisfactory. Despite its visually appealing design and inconspicuous appearance, the product's inability to effectively capture flies renders it ineffective. I would advise exploring alternative options for addressing fly infestations. Wishing you success in finding a more reliable fly trap solution.

Editing to add that the first year I used these they worked great, but the second year they didn’t have the same effect and flies just weren’t landing on the traps, not really sure why 🤷🏻‍♀️ will give another try this summer - I live in the country where it's very buggy - this worked great for us - couldn't believe how many flies it ended up catching. Super easy to set up & use. The only downside is that you do hear the fly's wings buzzing when they get caught, before they die - which is a little unsettling - but it's a small price to pay for the comfort of not having flies all over the place in the house

This product works ok. I was having an issue with house flies. It seemed to work well for small fruit flies, but was not very successful with the house flies. Also, the suction cups meant to hold the traps on the windows did not work well at all. I cleaned the window and followed instructions, but time after time it would eventually fall off the window.

Doing the job that stated what the window fly trap would do.

I just received these and set them up. I’m excited to see them work, the glue on the trap is super sticky, which makes me hopeful. They’re not unsightly, which make me happy, because the last thing I want to see is a bug/fly trap full of carcasses. Now I’m playing a wait and see game with them. If they work well, I will happily order the refills.

I've had these for a few weeks now. Haven't caught a single fly yet.

Excellent product

This product is effective and discreet

I bought something similar from the supermarket which did absolutely nothing so I had low expectations for this. Surprise, surprise, this one actually works. If you have a big fly problem, which most of this country does because over development has killed off all the small animals that keep fly populations down, then you do need the bigger outdoor fly catchers to get them BEFORE they come into the house. If this review makes it to America, lucky you because your country was smart enough to make fly screens the standard on houses. Here in UK, we're not that smart. If you want fresh air, you get flies. I have 5 outdoor traps hanging around front, back, side of my house outdoors and that has reduced how many flies come in. But these handy window traps are catching what does sneak in another bugs I didn't even notice before. 5 stars because it is catching things as opposed to not catching things like the supermarket one. But it's sort of a casual background additional tool. If you have a big problem you need the bigger ones with the smelly attractant liquid to catch them outdoors. Also it will work better on a window that gets light. It will catch less if there's a curtain shut over it. The fly goes towards the light and then looks down and lands.

I’ve been trying to buy the refills for this fly trap for ages so pleased I could get them on here. Work really well. Delivery was much quicker than stated.

Absolutely useless I want a refund I have placed one in kitchen and the other in lounge I’ve had loads of flys enter house not one fly has gone into these rubbish so called fly catchers it’s a con for a product that does NOT do as the seller says. I demand a refund selling products that are not fit for purpose
