I didn't think they were, but I set out my homemade fruit fly traps. Those usually fill up quite quickly if we have fruit flies and this time there were only a handful of flies in the trap. I figured then that it was fungus gnats. Some of my recent plant purchases included bark in the potting soil. I never use that because it seems to really promote fungus gnats. I got these traps set up after getting the first one stuck to my shirt. They are not a difficult level of assembly as far as knowledge, but one does have to have a fair bit of manual dexterity to do this with ease. The first couple weeks I only saw a handful of flies on my sticky traps. I figured either there weren't as many flies as I thought or the traps didn't work. After doing a deep water (I do let my plants dry out in between waterings) I noticed the flies were really coming alive. I have traps in plants in different areas of my home. Not all of the traps are extremely full, but I can see they have been working. One of the traps is doing overtime and I took a picture for this review. I did order another brand of traps because they were cheaper. I will see how they work out after they arrive. If they aren't as good I will definitely come back and spend the extra money for these. I also plan to follow the advice of another reviewer and place thesSticky side toward the soil covering the area around the plant. I want to try to catch them before they fly up out of the soil and into the air. The other reviewer also noted that the yellow attracts the gnats. The ones I have ordered are black. I'll update after I get the new ones and try them out. Review: Works on fungus gnats! - We live in Oklahoma and for some reason FUNGUS GNATS love it here. When we moved to Oklahoma from California I mistook them for smaller fruit flies, but upon further investigation through google pics I found out EXACTLY what the little annoying boogers were. If you have potted plants in your home you have to deal with these darn gnats! The key is to NOT over water your plants because they are attracted to water & watered soil. Once they have laid their eggs in the soil their larvae will eat at the roots of your plants and kill your plants sucking the life out of them. I had lost several plants before I caught onto what they were doing.....once again I found out via google! There is a method of killing the eggs & larvae using a mixture of 1 part peroxide to 3 parts water if you're having trouble with them killing your plants (Google for the info) but this only kills the eggs and larvae not the adults, for the adults I use the sticky traps. The peroxide & water mixture won't hurt your plants because after the peroxide is done fizzing it turns to harmless water. I like hearing the fizzing knowing it is killing those little monsters! Even if you don't have plants in your home they love any spots where there's water around such as bathrooms and kitchens. Lord knows how many of these stupid bugs we've swallowed in our sleep because they are also attracted to the carbon dioxide we exhale. Yum! Anyways, I didnt want to use pesticides in my home because the air quality inside homes is already poor enough as it is and I am sensitive to chemicals . I found these were rated pretty good with desertcart customers for being nontoxic traps. They do not have any attractant on them, but the fact that they are yellow attracts the gnats to them naturally. The gnats like to crawl and hop on the surface of the soil so I fold the tabs in half and put it down on soil like a tent and have also hung them over stems of my plants. I have also used the little spikes they come with. It works for me either way. When you see my pic you know why I rated them 5 stars. To all those in the fight against these evil menaces...I salute you!!! ## Features - Control Flying Insects - Sticky Stakes effectively trap a variety of flying insects including whiteflies, fungus gnats, thrips, fruit flies, and more - Non-Toxic & Effective - The special formula attracts insects like a magnet, killing them and reducing your infestation without pesticides - Protect Your Houseplants - Sticky Stakes eliminate destructive insect pests, ensuring your houseplants stay green and healthy - Discreet Design - These small stakes are easily placed in the dirt of your potted plants and may be concealed by the leaves for a more attractive aesthetic - Easy Disposal - Once the strip is full, simply remove, toss in the trash, and replace with a fresh stick - Comes with 7 stakes to help keep your plants insect free ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OV8OTY | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,441 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #258 in Pest Control Traps | | Brand | Safer | | Brand Name | Safer | | Color | One Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 14,637 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024654550254 | | Included Components | Houseplant Sticky Stakes Insect Traps, 1 Pack | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.5"L x 4.1"W x 8.2"H | | Item Type Name | Houseplant Sticky Stakes Insect Traps, | | Item Weight | 27.22 g | | Manufacturer | Safer | | Manufacturer Part Number | SF5026 | | Material | Glue | | Material Type | Glue | | Model Number | SF5026 | | Number of Pieces | 7 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Dimensions | 5.5"L x 4.1"W x 8.2"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Stakes are placed directly into indoor and outdoor houseplants. | | Style | Insect Traps | | Style Name | Insect Traps | | Target Species | whiteflies, fungus gnats, blackflies, thrips, fruit flies, midges and more | | UPC | 024654550254 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Safer - **Color:** One Color - **Item Weight:** 27.22 g - **Material:** Glue - **Number of Pieces:** 7 - **Product Dimensions:** 5.5"L x 4.1"W x 8.2"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Stakes are placed directly into indoor and outdoor houseplants. - **Style:** Insect Traps - **Target Species:** whiteflies, fungus gnats, blackflies, thrips, fruit flies, midges and more - **Unit Count:** 1 Count ## Images ![Brand 5026 Houseplant Sticky Stake Insect Traps for Indoor Plants - Controls Fungus Gnats, Whiteflies, Midges, Thrips, Fruit Flies, and Black Flies - 1 Pack, 7 Traps - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xHrl-iBpL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They Work *by T***H on May 14, 2023* I noticed a few gnats flying around.

To all those in the fight against these evil menaces...I salute you!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These WORK for fungus gnats! Extremely sticky *by W***R on June 6, 2019* ••Do you have fungus gnats? •• If you have indoor plants, probably so! Fungus gnats are the most common type of small indoor fly. They’re small, black, and bad at flying(!) because their wings are too delicate for their dumb bodies. They tend to walk or fly clumsily, which makes them fairly easy to catch. They live in the soil of potted plants. If you have tiny black flies AND young plants, seedlings or cuttings, or any potted plants that were packaged and delivered via mail (read: got an extra big drink of water before being bundled up for shipping), you almost certainly have fungus gnats. ••Why is this happening??!!•• Immature or larval (*gag*) fungus gnats thrive in damp soil. It is normal for soil or potting mix to contain some baby bugs, but the larvae—>flying menace infestation thing only kicks off when soil is OVERWATERED. Go by the feel of the soil rather than a watering schedule to best avoid overwatering (and gnats!). For most common houseplants, you want to be able to stick your finger down 3-5cm (1-2”) into the soil and pull it out clean, like when you use a toothpick to test a cake. Check on your plants every week, and if your finger is covered in dirt, don’t add any water. Check more frequently when anything in your plants’ environment changes: the seasons, the temp/humidity of the rooms they live in, new potting soil/repotting, etc. ••Great for next time, but erm...help•• Fungus gnats are attracted to the color yellow, and the adhesive on these Sticky Stakes will trap them before they have a chance to lay more eggs. A female fungus gnat lays 300 eggs in her 1 week life, so you can see the benefit in trapping as many as you can ASAP. You need more than you think you will, but I find this brand affordable. The adhesive is super sticky, which makes them very effective (but if you get one stuck to your plant’s leaves or your hair just cut your losses. Literally). **There’s a trick to using the yellow stickies!** Lay the sticky paper horizontally across the soil of your houseplants, sticky-side down. That’s the trick. Cover the soil with sticky-down yellow traps. This method lets you trap the grown gnats as soon as they emerge from the soil, before they’ve had the chance to take flight into your house and harass you. They still work on the stakes, but it’ll take longer to get the infestation under control bc not every gnat will fly to the trap. To rid your house/plants of fungus gnats even faster, in addition to the Sticky Stakes get a bag of diatomaceous earth to help 1) dry the soil right away, 2) desiccate some of the gnat eggs, and 3) make it harder to accidentally overwater in the future. TL;DR: IF YOU HAVE FUNGUS GNATS, THE YELLOW PAPER IN THIS PRODUCT WORKS GREAT WHEN PLACED HORIZONTALLY (STICKY-SIDE DOWN) ACROSS SOIL. ## Frequently Bought Together - Safer Brand 5026 Houseplant Sticky Stake Insect Traps for Indoor Plants - Controls Fungus Gnats, Whiteflies, Midges, Thrips, Fruit Flies, and Black Flies - 1 Pack, 7 Traps - Summit - Dwcom 40 Pack Fungus Gnat Traps for House Indoor Yellow Sticky Traps for Gnats Sticky Traps for Plants, Dual-Sided Fungus Gnat Sticky Traps Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/674844-brand-5026-houseplant-sticky-stake-insect-traps-for-indoor-plants](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/674844-brand-5026-houseplant-sticky-stake-insect-traps-for-indoor-plants) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
