I bought this to catch fruit flies in my kitchen and it has caught some of them. I think that the sticky stuff may be designed to attract other types of flies really, so it is of limited use for fruit flies, but it was still worth putting up as it has caught some of them.

It doesnt come out of the container very easily - maybe the sticky stuff has aged and got much stickier. If you get the sticky on your fingers (hard to avoid this when you are having problems getting it out of its housing) it is extremely difficult to remove. I have had one in the middle a warm conservatory containing dozens of flies for more than a week, and no flies have been caught. The end cap fell off after a few days and as there is a drawing pin in the middle, I'm releived that no-one stood on it in bare feet. The product has no redeeming features.

These are possibly the best fly papers I’ve ever come across - & I’ve been using them every summer in my kitchen for decades ! The cardboard tubes stay attached while I unfurled them ( with many brands sometimes they fall off & you need the weight to keep the paper hanging down) , they are very sticky & cost very little. I can highly recommend these 👍

Surely not a lot to be said about fly papers: they are .. just sticky and catch flies. But: The stickiness is a glue, and it can and does slowly dry out. This can lead to the reel of fly paper breaking as you pull it out. Sometimes when you can pull it out, there is comparatively little sticky left. So its good to try to buy recent stock, just one snag, there doesn't seem to be any way of finding out. The tube can be made of plastic or cardboard, with the plastic tubed brands going to take longer to dry out. The end caps can also be cardboard or plastic. Some of the cardboard end caps are waxed, which helps a little to preserve the stickiness. However, this does really keep the end caps firmly fixed in the tube, so best to break up the wax seal before pulling on the tag to get the paper out of the tube. So, what to do for the best. Rule 1 - choose your seller carefully. Rule 2 - the quality of an expensive brand is possibly going to be better than a cheap one. Rule 3 - but the expensive brand is going to cost a lot more. Rule 4 - if you try to keep them for too long, they will dry out, its just a question of how quickly. Rule 5 - if you have a lot of flies, don't expect fly papers to catch them all. Rule 6 - consider other methods of catching flies, or even keeping them out of the house in the first place. and finally Rule 7 - bear in mind that this is a very short review, and based on my own experience. But, you have to make up your own mind. So we also have a Rule 8 - they are very cheap really, so don't beat yourself up if you get a dud pack. What do I do? I just buy one (or occasionally two) packs when I need them. Little and often, because trying to keep them for months is the biggest waste. Good Luck.Read full review

The paper is not very strong and a few of these have torn as they are being opened (very carefully). They are sticky enough and work fine, like any other fly strip, when you have them up.
