Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

Are these traps safe to use near pets?

Yes, they are poison-free and contain no chemicals, making them safe for homes with pets.

How often should I replace the traps?

Replace them whenever the surface becomes saturated with insects or loses its stickiness due to debris.

Can I use these traps outdoors?

While they are water-resistant, they are specifically optimized for indoor houseplants and may capture beneficial insects if used outdoors.

Do I need to avoid getting water on the adhesive?

While the adhesive is water-resistant, it is best to avoid direct soaking to ensure the trap remains effective for the longest time possible.

Will these traps attract houseflies?

These traps are specifically designed for smaller plant pests like gnats and thrips and are generally not effective for larger houseflies.

Troubleshooting

Traps are not catching any insects

Ensure the traps are placed close enough to the soil level where gnats congregate and confirm they are not obstructed by large leaves.

Adhesive surface is dusty or losing effectiveness

If the trap has been in place for a long time, replace it with a fresh one to restore maximum tackiness.

Pests are still appearing despite using traps

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Completely free of chemicals, insecticides, and unpleasant odors
  • Safe for use around children and pets
  • Highly effective at monitoring and catching adult flying pests
  • Durable adhesive withstands water splashes and UV light
  • Simple, tool-free installation in any plant pot

Cons

  • Does not kill larvae living within the potting soil
  • Can be unsightly if completely covered in caught insects
  • Requires manual replacement once the surface area is full

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
