For anyone contending with the menace of fruit flies or gnats (and especially if you own a fair number of indoor plants), I could not recommend these more wholeheartedly:

It's essentially a better looking version of fly paper. They're easy to place alongside indoor plants. Fruit flies and gnats are attracted to decaying organic matter and the moist soil of indoor plants is an often overlooked oasis for them. Gnats are more likely to hang out in indoor potted soils (especially if overwatered) because they feed on fungus, but fruit flies can take refuge there too.

A couple years back I had a months long battle with fruit flies. Kitchen was always clean, garage sealed up tight, no indoor compost, I used apple vinegar traps of all styles but nothing solved the problem until I placed those sticky paper inserts at the base of all my indoor plants. Within a week the fruit flies were gone.

We had a weeks long battle with fruit flies last summer.

Tried every tip, trick, remedy and commercial solution we could find. We were up to our eyeballs in apple cider vinegar, fly paper, sprays, traps and the like.

Nothing worked.

Then we discovered one of our kids had hung up their unfinished lunch from the last day of school in their lunch bag, and left it to rot in the laundry room.

Fixed our fruit fly problem pretty quickly after that.

No idea if it’s better or worse but fwiw I used this last time after the vinegar and traps I sent didn’t work: https://a.co/d/3O4CSsA

We had an insane fruit fly problem after coming home from vacation and this cleared them up pretty quick

I think I’d rather use your solution instead of running this device though

Second this, they are amazing at catching all kinds of little bugs that tend to live on your plants.
