The STV Zero In Flying Insect Sticky Traps are designed for indoor gardeners and homeowners looking to manage pest populations without the use of harsh chemicals. These bright yellow traps provide an effective, non-toxic way to monitor and reduce infestations of fungus gnats, fruit flies, and aphids in household plants. While they are highly effective at capturing adult flying insects, users should note that they do not treat the underlying larvae in the soil, meaning a multi-pronged approach may be necessary for severe infestations.

Yes, they are poison-free and contain no chemicals, making them safe for homes with pets.
Replace them whenever the surface becomes saturated with insects or loses its stickiness due to debris.
While they are water-resistant, they are specifically optimized for indoor houseplants and may capture beneficial insects if used outdoors.
While the adhesive is water-resistant, it is best to avoid direct soaking to ensure the trap remains effective for the longest time possible.
These traps are specifically designed for smaller plant pests like gnats and thrips and are generally not effective for larger houseflies.
Ensure the traps are placed close enough to the soil level where gnats congregate and confirm they are not obstructed by large leaves.
If the trap has been in place for a long time, replace it with a fresh one to restore maximum tackiness.
Adult traps only catch flying insects. You likely have larvae in the soil; consider reducing watering frequency or using a soil drench to address the root of the problem.
To set up your STV Zero In traps, simply remove the protective backing paper from both sides of the yellow card. Use the provided support stake or slot it directly into the potting mix near the base of your houseplant. Ensure the trap is positioned at least 2-3 inches above the soil line for maximum visibility to passing insects.
There is no specific care required other than monitoring the trap for saturation. Once the surface is coated with insects, remove the trap and dispose of it in your general waste. Because the adhesive is very sticky, you may want to wash your hands after installation or handling used traps.
