Answer This Question

Hello. If you are using your fly stick outdoors, we recommend removing the bottom cap so that it does not collect rain water. If you are using it indoors, you can keep the bottom cap on. If you have further questions, please contact us directly at customercare@pic-corp.com

      Can a bird get stuck on it? If so, how can we prevent that?

      Answer This Question

      Yes a bird could get stuck. If you formed a hardware cloth (wire mesh or chicken wire) around it that is small enough to keep the bird out and large enough to allow the insects in, I believe that would work.

        Hi George, birds can get stuck on the trap. We suggest putting the trap somewhere that birds cannot get to.

            This product was excellent for catching fruit flies! House flies are not common in my home. This product is very light and will topple over easily.

              I wouldn't recommend for house flies. It didn't catch one for us. Just a sticky mess. I'm surprised at lack of results, usually Raid has good products. It did catch gnats, however.

                  Hi can this be used to catch Phorid flies? I tried vinegar and dish soap that didn't work so I was told they are not fruit flies they are Phorid flies. Thanks

                  In a word, yes. The do hold onto any critter that lands on them and does it well. Used in conjunction with removing any available breeding area(s) the problem should be resolved. Using them alone will capture adults but those little beasts are quite prolific.

                    Any insect that decides to land on it will be stuck. It is basically a cylindrical glue trap. There is no attractant.

                    they work good for me.i hang it near a night light and put a little apple juice in it.. they are very sticky,but i like the indoor bug zapper works best for me[ aspectek 40 watt ]

                      Hi, According to a YouTube testimonial, yes. I'm gonna try these. She shows live shots of all the flies these caught.

                        Yes absolutely... All you have to do is set it out, they will flock to it. The more fruit flys, the more fruit flys will get caught.

                          for sure! i had a invasion of fruit flies that were unbelievable! these traps eliminated them in less than a week. just be sure to put away all fruit in zip-lock bags or sealed containers of some sort. put away trash cans.

                          they can,but i add some juice to the bottom to attract.

                            Yes. Be sure to add some red wine or apple cider vinegar (mix with water and a few drops of dish soap) to the bottom cup and place in the area where you see the fruit flies. The neck of the trap is sticky so be careful not to touch it and keep it away from kids. Use the little white hook when handling the trap to avoid touching the sticky trap and to avoid spilling the mixture). The smell of vinegar (from the wine or apple cider vinegar) will attract the fruit flies and they’ll either get stuck on the sticky part of the trap or drown in the liquid mixture in the cup at the bottom. It’s not a pretty sight, but it works! Good luck!

                                Yes! I use them to catch fruit flies & it gets about 90% of them. I HIGHLY recommend pouring apple cider vinegar into the base, if using indoors. It attracts them much better than honey or syrup. Refresh the vinegar once a day.

                                By|Aug 9, 2026

                                  Absolutely yes. We had a terrible fruit fly infestation. Tried all the other products these fly sticks were the only thing that solved the problem. We added a table spoon of wine to the bottom cup and a drop of dish soap to attract them quicker.

                                    They will catch anything that lands on it. There is no attractant. Fruit flies are easier caught with a little apple cider vinegar in a glass with plastic wrap over the top. Punch a few small holes in it and u will catch fruit flies.

                                      The 2 pack Fly stick does not have the ability to be placed on a flat surface. The single pack fly ribbon does have a punch out on the box that can be used on a flat surface. Thanks, "PIC Pest Free Living"

                                          In a nutshell, yes, but anything that cam be put in a nutshell probably belongs there. It needs to be somewhere that it will not be touched by children or someone not paying attention. I have one on a high window sill that is set back. It works by being sticky, if someone touches it, it will stick. Away from pets/children or unmindful adults. Hanging out of harms way works best for me. Good luck!

                                          Yes, but it’s an eyesore to see dead flies and fruit flies near the table, but it can be placed there. I personally don’t place it anywhere near where I plan to eat. But these are helpful.

                                            Yes they can be. I placed mine on the counter, just had to cut the plastic hanger off of it. I would also advise placing it as far back and out of reach as possible, they are super effective when it comes to being sticky and it’s easy to accidentally get stuck on it.

                                              Yes it stands up. I put mine on a paper plate with a little bit of red wine in it because I was using it for knats and it worked.

                                                No. The bottom is rounded and won't stand by itself.

                                                  I would not suggest putting it on an eating surface. First and foremost it collects bugs and why would you want that where you are eating? Second, it is VERY, VERY sticky and if something touches it or it falls over it could be quite a mess.

                                                              I was having an immediate bombardment of flies. I bought these with the anticipation that they would attract the flies as said and thereby bringing down the crowd. However that did not happen. I put one in each area where the flies kept frequenting and also near the light because they go toward the light. They hung there in the early evening all night long and I had a light on and this morning. Not even a nibble! They totally avoided these. Would not even go near them.

                                                              Hello. Thank you for sharing your feedback. These work best when something sweet, such as honey or syrup are used in the bottom cup to help attract the flies.

                                                                Finally something that works as stated.
                                                                Finally a Raid item that works as is stated. New the tube is a bright silver color. This must have near or over one thousand Drain Fleas or Scum Gnats. This window is right above my kitchen sink

                                                                Hello! Thank you for the five star review! We always love to hear from happy customers!
                                                                  • Recommended
                                                                  Not for larger blow flies....but for household size flies....
                                                                  Bought to solve unwelcome large blow flies that appear every September. DID NOT WORK. They fly all around and not 1 was caught. As typical, the large blow flies disappeared as mysteriously as they showed up. Now, I was ready to package for return..... Another mysterious appearance of flies....albeit smaller ones.....two week later. I still had the unreturned Raid Fly Sticks... so, again hoping to snag the smaller flies, I put them back up......at least 4 dozen in 2 night. (Do put by bright lights)
                                                                  by

It is sold in a perforated box so that the birds cannot get stuck in the trap. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us directly at customercare@pic-corp.com so that we can assist you further.

                                                                      The RAID FLY STICK suffers from one defect: it fails to attract flies. There is a simple, effective solution that will BLOW YOUR MIND! Pair this product with the RESCUE FLY TRAP Model # FTR-SF4 Store SKU # 798811 and hang them side by side. You'll be replacing the Fly Strip quickly, because it will be LOADED with flies!

                                                                        I have been using the sticks for years and they work great with catching mosquitoes, termites, gnats and any other flying insects attracted to light. One simple method is to hang near an outside light fixture (photo). I also string together two sticks and use a painter pole to hang off my floodlights during the summer as swarmers are drawn to the light. Hope this helps!!!!

I didn’t even bother putting anything sweet or otherwise into the bottom because I don’t want to attract ants.
