MaxGuard Window Fly Traps (24 XL Traps) Catch & Kill Houseflies, Flying Insects & Bugs. Non-Toxic Sticky Glue Traps Fly Killer Clear Strip Insect Catcher Safe No Zapping with Zapper |

UPDATE - These have been working extremely well for me. I am adding my template. I cut the pieces three and five-eighths inches wide. I only cut one side and the top of my refills, for the other side and the bottom I use the edges of the trap. Although I wrote the height on the template, it's just the height from the red line to the bottom of the trap. Since the top of the trap isn't sticky, I cut most of that part off. I made the decision that it's ok to have adhesive almost all the way to the top. You could make them longer and cut the arch and dip farther up from the red strip. You would have more adhesive-free area to pull the trap off, but it also starts to get harder to pull the trap out from behind the bar on the Zevo insert. Happy catching!I am extremely happy about how well this product worked for a slightly off-label use. It turns out that this product makes a very reasonably-priced replacement for the grossly overpriced, proprietary Zevo UV light refills. Here's my story...A certain person let in some flies this summer and their progeny have been an extreme annoyance ever since. I ended up trying out an (overpriced) UV nightlight with fly paper, otherwise known as a Zevo flying insect trap. I didn't know if it would work, but I was sort of desperate. It turns out that once I found a good outlet for the light - not over a countertop with cabinets overtop but on a bare wall nearer the floor - the Zevo did a really good job at catching bugs, both the flies that I knew we had and a few fruit flies that I didn't even know were around. I wasn't entirely happy with it, though, since this is a $20 nightlight that uses UV light and refills were $7.50 for a two-pack. Fly paper seemed to work almost as well and is only 50 cents a roll. Flypaper is really gross, though, and I couldn't put flypaper in the room the flies liked, so the much more attractive and expensive nightlight won out.Since the light trap worked, my next problem was the refills. The refills have a special shape and a plastic insert that needs to be pushed into the lamp for it to be turned on. A reasonable safety feature since this light produces a little UV light, but also very convenient for Zevo in that it makes substitutions much harder. After examining the refill, I realized that it was just some sticky goo on a plastic sheet, and the glue could be scraped off. I went ahead and scraped off the glue. I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend doing this with a new refill before it has any insects on it. Just trust me on that one. I first tried replacing their adhesive with double-sided tape which didn't work and was a real pain to get back off.Then I did some research online and found this product. Unlike the other fly window papers that I had found on Amazon or elsewhere, this one is bigger and I don't have to piece together two strips each time. Unlike double-sided tape, there's just a small strip of adhesive on the back. Enough to stick, not enough to cause much trouble when removing the trap for disposal. Turns out that the trap sheets are big enough that I can cut the papers in half and then trim them slightly and they fit the Zevo light very well. I'm still working on placement and hope to add photos if I can get the template just right. For now, I've put the 1/2 sheet fly traps just under the top plastic tab in the refill, rounded the bottom edges a bit, and it works. Within just a couple of minutes, I had my first victim. The window fly trap stays in the Zevo light well and is easy to remove.Yes, it's maybe 10 minutes of annoying work to remove Zevo's adhesive in the first place - but their refills are two for $7 or $3.50 each. With these (at the current price), it's 24 XL sheets for about $13 which means I get 48 refills (each sheet is cut in half) for that price or about 27 cents each. That's more than a 90% discount over Zevo's prices and means I can justify using the light. Also, when the Zevo company makes a product with the intention of requiring your repeated patronage for that product to continue working, then prices the refills so unreasonably, I must admit that I am filled with a sense of devious satisfaction when I rip one of these window traps off their refill and slap a new one in its place.If this review helped you, please click the helpful button. It's nice to know when I actually helped someone with my review.

fly are attracted to the window light works great.

Incredible product! Easy to use

So I've been using these things over the summer to catch flies, however; recently I got a fruit fly infestation while I went away for 4 days. I had THOUSANDS of fruit flies when I returned (never seen that many ever!). SO I WENT TO WAR!I noticed they liked 'chillin' on my cabinet faces- so in addition to apple cider vinegar traps (I had like 10) I got desperate to kill these things faster than they were multiplying...so...I put some on my cabinets too. It took me 4-5 days to win the war against these fruit flies with a dozen ACV traps and a handful of these window traps. I was so happy when I won the war and could finally take the fly paper off my cabinets...but...unfortunately the glue destroyed the finish on the cabinets despite me feeling the finish was pretty damn strong. And when I used this product on windows; it did not give me the impression of an adhesive that would be strong enough to damage something like a kitchen cabinet....but it did...to my absolute HORROR! My 9 year old 'Pristine' cabinets ruined over THIS?!!! OMFGI'm lucky I think I can still buy the same cabinet faces from when the house was first built in 2015...BUT; I feel the manufacturer should consider a warning to say "windows only".As for the product itself, I wish I took a picture of HUNDREDS of fruit flies on each sheet (front side, not the side that messed up my cabinet)- this is otherwise an awesome product! ...JUST ONLY USE IT ON GLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love that the sticky strip keeps the fly trap in place. No need to chase houseflies with a swatter or spray harmful repellent sprays in your home. Just stick the trap in place and throw it away when the flies are caught. No mess. No spraying harmful fly sprays.I have a large mood-elevating daylight lamp mounted on my wall. The flies love it. The MaxGuard Window Fly Traps take care of the pests for me allowing my elevated mood to be undisturbed.The strips are easily peeled off any surface that you stick them to. No sticky fingers and no sticky residue left behind. I have shared mine with friends and everyone that I shared them with purchased more. One friend had ugly yellow sticky fly traps. Those worked, but they were ugly and literally shouted, "Look at me!". These traps are invisible until they are filled with flies. Then you just peel it off the surface and throw it into the trash. Easy Peasy.

These work. Used in the summer, on the inside of kitchen windows in the Arizona desert. Not too difficult to remove when it's time to replace w/ a fresh one.

I purchased the MaxGuard Window Fly Traps hoping to tackle a persistent summer fly problem in my home. While the quantity provided was ample, and the traps were easy to set up, I found that they were not as effective as I had hoped. The adhesive did trap some flies, but many of them seemed to escape or avoid the traps altogether. I think they may work if you leave your windows open and the flies enter through the windows, however living in Florida my windows are never open, the flies come in through the door when opened. They are easy to use and easy to dispose of. Additionally, the design made it difficult to peel off and dispose of. Overall, while the concept is good, the execution fell short in terms of effectiveness and convenience.

Some Asian beetles have got trapped on the fly trap but not any flies.
