For outdoor use for flies, the fly trap is definitely the best. If by ultraviolet, you mean bug zappers, they are ok, but attract a lot of other insects that are otherwise not a problem. The Victor Fly Magnet® is specific to house flies and several other species of nuisance flies (Blue bottle, Blow fly).

The bait formulation is proprietary, but consists mostly of food grade ingredients, to be more specific (proteins). The odor is not as strong if the trap is placed in an area with a lot of air circulation. The important thing is that the flies love it!

 

The traps are excellent for outdoor use. They can be used indoors, like in a garage or outbuilding, but the traps are probably not the best for use inside your living area, like in your kitchen (that is if you are using the fly bait). Some have adapted the trap to catch fruit flies, drain flies, etc by placing a banana or some other over ripened fruit inside the trap with a little soapy water to drown the flies. For this application indoor use should not pose any problems if the container is routinely emptied and the bait replaced with new.

We have an Electronic Fly Killer that uses ultraviolet light to lure the flying insect into the trap. The light does not actually kill the insect. The insect becomes trapped inside. It is very effective. You can purchase the Electronic Fly Killer in our online store.

 

I recommend Victor® Fly Tape, or Victor® Fly Strip for use indoor. This will attract and trap flies very effectively, and without the odor. Visit our Fly Solutions page.

Safer® Brand has two great traps for moths, including one for clothes moths. On our web site, we also offer tips for keeping moths away from your closet. Visit our moths page for more information about these great products and tips.

The fungus gnats are coming from the soil of the plants.

You can spray the flying insects with house plant insect killer or use Safer® Brand  Insect Killing Soap Concentrate. The Insect Killing Soap Concentrate label should have directions for treating the soil of plants as a soil drench. If it is not on the label, the directions are mix 1 tablespoon per quart of water and drench the soil.

Our Fly Traps will certainly work for fruit flies. The Fly Magnet® bait, however, was not designed to draw fruit flies. Instead, put a small amount of beer inside the trap and place in a cube of bread to serve as bait. Chucks of fruit in water also work well for drawing fruit flies to the trap.

Although completely non-toxic, the Poison-Free® Flying Insect Killer is not to be used on plants as the mint oil ingredient will burn the leaves.

Better products would be Safer® Brand's Sticky Whitefly Trap or Insect Killing Soap. Learn more about controlling aphids by reading this article titled "How To Control Whiteflies and Aphids".

Apply vegetable oil to the area. Within a few minutes, the oil will begin to dissolve the glue. Re-apply oil as needed until all the glue is dissolved. Remove oily residue with warm soapy water.

There are many species of fly. I recommend you visit our fly species page on Saferbrand.com. There we have a description of common fly species.

These are all fantastic questions about a moth problem. On our moths page you'll find traps for moths, instructions for the products, and tips for preventing moths from destroying your clothes.

I highly recommend using the Victor® bottle traps. By hanging them outside in the tree, you will have great success in controlling the fly population. You can read more about these traps, and order them, at our Flies page. You can also keep a can of our Poison-Free® Flying Insect Killer handy to use inside the house. It will kill the flies on contact. That is also available on our Flies page. If you have any doubts, read the testimonials about our fly traps.

I suggest using our Fly Magnet® Fly Trap. We have a gallon size trap that you can purchase in our online store. It is very effective. If you have any doubts, feel free to read testimonials that other customers have sent us.
