Cleanuper Sticky Gnat Traps, 58-Pack

When tiny flies start circling your houseplants, it can be hard to tell whether the problem is growing until you see more of them. Cleanuper’s yellow sticky traps give flying pests a visible place to land, so you can catch insects near the plant and monitor activity over time. Push a trap into the soil beside a pot, or use the included wire to hang one near a basket or seedling tray. The sunflower and butterfly shapes make them less like plain pest-control cards, though the exposed adhesive still needs to stay away from curious hands, hair, and pets.

Best use cases

These traps are designed for fungus gnats, fruit flies, whiteflies, aphids, and thrips around indoor plants and outdoor gardens. For a potted plant, place a card at soil level near the drainage holes, where the product instructions say placement can help catch insects. They can also stay in a pot as a monitoring aid: if insects appear on the surface, you get a visible sign of activity before you notice damage to the plant.

For example, put one beside a windowsill herb pot and another in a hanging basket. The stake suits soil, while the included wire offers another way to position a trap where there is no soil to push into. It’s a great fit if you want a simple, ready-to-place trap without mixing or spraying anything. It may not suit you if you need a solution that addresses pests beyond the insects that land on the adhesive, these cards catch insects rather than treating the plant or soil.

Product specs

The pack contains 58 traps: 29 sunflower designs and 29 butterfly designs. Each yellow card has adhesive on both faces, a pointed plastic stake, and a protective film to peel away before use. The product is described as odorless, waterproof, and UV-resistant, with a rigid stake intended to help the card stay straight during setup. Wire is included for hanging use.

Setup is straightforward: peel the protective films, hold the trap by its tab and stake, then insert it into the soil. Store unused traps flat in a cool, dry place, as directed. Keep the glue surface out of direct reach to avoid contact with skin or hair, family-friendly describes the physical, odorless design, not an adhesive surface that should be handled freely.

Where it shines

The practical appeal is flexibility. A basic stake-in-pot trap is convenient for houseplants, while the wire makes these more adaptable for hanging baskets and trays without soil. The yellow cards also serve as a visible monitoring layer, and the decorative shapes may blend more naturally into a plant display than an unshaped card. If you are asking whether a trap can do more than look tidy, the key benefit is still the adhesive: it catches insects that land on either face.

The main limitation is that a card fills up and needs replacing, it does not keep catching indefinitely. And although the construction is described as waterproof and suitable for rain and regular watering, placement still matters: set it near the affected plant rather than treating it as a whole-room solution. From the way it is set up, this is a low-effort physical trap, not a substitute for a more involved pest-control approach when the infestation needs broader treatment.

Is it worth it?

This pack makes sense if you have several plants to monitor, want both stake and hanging placement, or prefer to avoid sprays around your plant display. The split of two decorative shapes gives you options across pots, while the two-sided adhesive makes each card usable from either face. Compared with a single plain trap, the draw here is the larger pack and flexible placement—not a promise that every pest problem will disappear.

Choose it for catching and spotting flying pests near plants, and replace cards when they fill. If you need to deal with pests that remain on the plant or in the soil, or want a treatment that tackles the source rather than insects that land on a card, this alone may not cover that need.
