Hot Shot No-Pest Strip, Pack of 1

We’ve been using these Pest Strips in our attic for years now to keep wasps, carpenter bees, and other flying freeloaders from setting up shop under our eaves and porches. We pop in a fresh strip every 4–5 months, starting in March (we’re in Tennessee), and take them down around Thanksgiving—kind of like seasonal decorations, but way less festive.We hang them as far back in the attic as we can reach before the ceiling tries to introduce itself to our foreheads. One of our attics is pretty roomy, so we hang two in there. And you know what? We haven’t had a single wasp or carpenter bee since. Even a scout team of honeybees came by once, checked things out, and decided to buzz off. (We assume they didn’t care for the smell. No harm done, bees!)Some folks say they use these indoors, and I working be comfortable with that—though come to think of it, maybe we don’t have any indoor pests because they’re already scared off by the attic?Bottom line: highly recommend for attic duty. Keep the flying menace out where it belongs—with your neighbor.

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.

Works in keeping bugs away from inside storage sheds where there used to be spider webs and now there are none

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!

These are amazing! Keeps little flies away and even citrus flies. Great for when I am juicing!
