JT Eaton’s Stick-A-Fly fly traps solve the visibility problem that plagues traditional yellow sticky strips. The clear plastic/adhesive strip design blends with window glass, making these traps more discreet than traditional yellow fly strips. Available in a 5-pack at Western Building Center, they target restaurants, property managers, and homeowners who need effective fly control without the eyesore.
The traps work where flies naturally congregate — window corners, behind curtains, anywhere light attracts them. Non-toxic and insecticide-free with no poisonous sprays or vapors, they’re safe for use around food, children, and pets. That food-safe rating matters for commercial kitchens and restaurants where chemical sprays aren’t an option.
Clear Technology vs Traditional Strips
The advanced formula glue maintains outstanding holding power without the visual intrusion of yellow strips. Each trap measures 3.5 inches by 10.5 inches — sized to fit discreetly in window corners where flies gather.
The non-drying adhesive formula keeps its grip throughout the trap’s lifespan. Effective for approximately 30 days, these traps maintain their stickiness longer than budget options that dry out after a week. The non-drying glue surface ensures long-lasting effectiveness.
Discreet clear design blends with window glass, eliminating the tacky appearance of traditional fly control. For businesses that can’t have yellow strips visible to customers, this transparency changes the game.
Performance and Applications
The traps capture house flies, fruit flies, gnats, fleas, mites, and other small flying insects. Montana’s summer fruit flies and gnats don’t stand a chance against the adhesive surface.
| Target Pests | Effectiveness |
|---|---|
| House flies | Primary target |
| Fruit flies | Highly effective |
| Gnats | Captures reliably |
| Fleas | Secondary capture |
| Mites | When airborne |
Applications include indoor residential areas (kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, attics, and basements) and commercial settings (restaurants, cafes, hotels, offices, and break rooms). The versatility spans from home kitchens to commercial food service.
Installation takes seconds. Ensure the window surface is clean and dry, peel off the small protective backing from the rear of the trap, press the trap firmly onto the desired interior window surface (usually corners), then peel off the larger front sticker to expose the sticky surface.
