FAQs - Insects
A: 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).
A: 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!
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.

A: 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.
A: 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. Chunks of fruit in
water also work well for drawing fruit flies to the trap.
A: 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.
A: There are many species of flies. I recommend you visit our fly species
page on Saferbrand.com. There we have a description of common fly species.
A: 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 to prevent moth destruction.
A: 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 Safer® Brand 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.
A: 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.
