Haimist 16 Pesticide Free Fly Paper sticky fly catchers (16-pack) for indoor or greenhouse use
Product description
The essentials
If you’re trying to get on top of flies in a room or around plants, Haimist’s 16-pack of pesticide-free fly paper is a straightforward trap approach: it uses sticky paper rather than bait, poisons or vapours. On paper, that makes it feel like a cleaner option for everyday use—especially if you’d rather avoid messy setup and strong chemical smells.
The idea is simple: flies are drawn in by the trap’s scent, then get stuck. The manufacturer also flags a practical handling tip for accidental glue contact, which is worth taking seriously because the glue is clearly the main “active” part here.
Worth considering if you want something that’s easy to deploy quickly and keep going, rather than a one-off clean-up job.
Key features in real-world terms
This set is built around pesticide-free sticky fly catchers, sold as 16 pieces for indoor or greenhouse use. The base description is quite clear on what it avoids: no baiting, no poisons, and no vapours. That matters if you’re sensitive to odours or you simply prefer a method that doesn’t involve chemical treatments in the air.
What you’ll actually notice day to day is the convenience. Instead of dealing with dripping liquids or complicated prep, you can focus on placement. Since flies are reportedly drawn to the trap smell, the main “knob” you control is where you position the paper so insects naturally pass by.
There’s also a small but telling detail: the product is described as “easy for use to avoid your hand dirty”. That implies the packaging and handling are meant to reduce mess, but it doesn’t remove the risk entirely.
What to watch out for
No-bait, no-poison approaches can still be a bit of a trade-off. Sticky paper relies on the insect being attracted and landing on the surface. If your fly problem is heavy but the traps aren’t placed where flies actually travel, results may feel slower or limited.
Also, the description includes an “if touch the glue accidentally” instruction: rub gently with vegetable oil and wash with soap or hand cleaner. That’s a useful detail, but it also underlines that the adhesive is not something you want on skin for long.
One more point: the set is described as controlling flies, mosquitoes, gypsy moth and other flying insects. That’s broad coverage, but it can’t cover every situation—so if you need guaranteed control over a specific pest in a specific environment, you may want to set expectations accordingly.
Where it fits (and where it might not)
It’s a solid fit if your goal is practical, indoor pest management without introducing poisons or vapours. A 16-pack also suits households or gardeners who want to place traps in multiple spots—rather than betting everything on one location.
It makes sense if you’re dealing with intermittent fly activity near kitchens, utility rooms, conservatories, or greenhouse areas where flying insects show up.
It may not suit you if you’re looking for something that actively repels insects, rather than trapping them. And if you strongly prefer a bait-based method or you want a solution that targets one single pest with maximum precision, this kind of general sticky paper approach could feel a bit “broad brush”.
Usage tips
For best results, placement is everything with sticky fly paper. Try positioning the catchers where flies are most likely to pass—near doors or windows where they enter, or in greenhouse corners where insects gather.
A practical micro-scenario: you notice a few flies around the greenhouse after opening ventilation. You can place a few of the catchers at different heights along the route from the opening toward plants, then check periodically to see whether catches are building up. The “pesticide-free” angle means you can keep things relatively low-fuss, but you still want to keep hands and fingers clear of the glue.
If a piece is accidentally touched, follow the guidance given: use vegetable oil to rub gently, then wash with soap or hand cleaner.

Is it worth it?
Buy it if you want an easy, pesticide-free way to control flying insects indoors or in a greenhouse, and you’re happy to rely on sticky trapping rather than chemical treatments. The 16-pack format is particularly handy when you need multiple placements.
Skip it if you need an odour-repelling or fully proactive solution, or if you’re likely to struggle with placement (because sticky traps work best where insects naturally move). Also, if the idea of handling adhesive surfaces doesn’t appeal, it may not be the most comfortable option—even though the product does suggest how to clean skin if you touch the glue.
For many people, it’s the kind of “set it up, place it sensibly, and monitor” purchase that feels sensible rather than dramatic.
