Blooven Yellow Fruit Fly Traps, 60 Double-Sided Sticky Catchers

For small flying pests around indoor plants, these yellow sticky traps offer a straightforward way to catch insects and keep an eye on their numbers. Peel away the protective paper and push a trap into the potting soil.

Each of the 60 traps is adhesive on both sides, giving flying insects more surface to land on. The yellow colour is intended to attract pests including fungus gnats, fruit flies, whiteflies, winged aphids and thrips.

They work without electricity or added scent, so there is no plug-in device to set up. Could a simple sticky trap suit your plant-care routine? It may, particularly when you want to monitor activity as well as catch insects.

What you’ll notice day to day

The format is uncomplicated: place a trap in the soil of a potted plant and leave it in position. The adhesive is on both sides, while the yellow surface makes it easier to see whether flying pests are being caught. The traps measure 13L x 8W x 0.1H centimetres, so they are designed to sit in a plant pot rather than act as a large room-wide catcher.

Watering is not said to affect the adhesive, which is useful for pots that need regular attention. The product is described as odourless and non-toxic, and it does not need a power source. Those details make it a simpler approach than an electric trap, though its role is specifically to catch flying insects that reach the sticky surface, it is not a general treatment for every plant pest.

Highlights

The pack contains 60 yellow traps, each with adhesive on both sides. The stated target pests include fungus gnats, fruit flies, whiteflies, winged aphids, thrips, mining flies and mourning flies. They are intended for indoor use and can help monitor flying-insect activity around houseplants.

There is also a suggested kitchen use: place a trap in a cup or jar with vinegar, wine or orange juice. This offers another way to position one where fruit flies are a concern, rather than inserting it into potting soil. The adhesive is described as very sticky, so take care when handling it and keep the traps out of reach of children and pets. With this limitation, they are best treated as targeted catchers, not as a substitute for addressing the source of an infestation.

Best use cases

These suit indoor plant owners who want a no-power option for catching and monitoring flying pests near pots. They may also be useful in a kitchen setup using the suggested cup or jar method. By contrast, someone looking for a device that actively draws insects from across a room may prefer a different type of trap, these rely on pests reaching the yellow adhesive.

Do not use them outdoors: the product guidance warns that sticky traps could catch beneficial insects and other wildlife. A solid pick if your aim is to monitor or catch flying insects indoors with minimal setup. Better avoided if you need an outdoor solution or a method that targets pests beyond the insects that land on the adhesive.

When it makes sense

Blooven’s 60-piece pack is worth considering for routine indoor use around potted plants, especially when identifying whether flying pests are present matters as much as catching them. The double-sided adhesive and simple placement make the setup easy to understand, while the quantity allows traps to be positioned at several pots or replaced as needed. Choose them for localised monitoring and catching, look elsewhere if your priority is outdoor pest control or a broader treatment method.
