Donna, I have recently had great success with a product called the "Victor Fly Magnet." I have trapped and killed 100's, maybe even 1000's of flies with this thing. It's non poisonous. It worked so well for me that I purchased 2 more. It's made a huge difference on my deck.Victor M380 Fly Magnet 1-Quart Reusable Trap With Bait

We have sprayed this on our dogs and it seems to keep the flies away. We can see them around them but they do not land on them. You do have to reapply about every 2 hours but it does work. My brother -in-law swears by it for the Bufflo Gnats that are found in IL. We use it mostly for Yellow Flies and No Seeums down here in FL.

This would not do much good outside on a patio; for that order the Rescue Reusable Fly Trap, also available on Amazon. Set it about about 25 feet from your patio, and it draws flies, leaving your patio fly-free.

I live in Florida and they DO keep the cockroaches away. Flies and ants, no. But I use Raid Max for ants and Raid window fly traps for flies and gnats. Now I have to figure out how to control mold....lol. I just got a cat, so we'll see if they bother cats.

It does take a few weeks to work its way up through the tree but over time it is very effective. It is best to put it down before the season so that the tree is protected by the time the flys are nesting in the bushes and trees. It is the best product I have found for keeping the white flies at bay. Just get the trees on a program and stick with it religiously. This way you won't be scrubbing that awful sticky black mildew off of everything else in the yard. It is well worth the effort.

No. I am surprised that it traps even one fruit fly...I was very disappointed in the product.

Personally I don't have much fly aways to begin with, so I cannot be 100% sure of my answer. But I think it does. It holds the hair together very well. Unless, you know, you're out in the wind a lot.

Because moving air has been proven the best way to keep Mosquitos away the answer is yes, to a point.You have to be in the area that is covered by the fans moving air. Chancy at the edges.

It is not airtight, but I believe it will keep out bugs. At least no bugs have gotten in mine

NO!!! It DOES NOT attract flies to kill them. We've had this in use for over a week now and not one fly has been killed by it. Product description is very misleading!

I think it would....I have not seen fruit flies in my house since I have bought these...I do not like leaving plates of food exposed for more than 5 min unattended so I love them( mesh food covers) I got 2 of them

I had it in sun last year. No problem. I had it at the edge of my very small yard. If flies are as bad this summer, I will get another.

Can't tell you about gnats but it definitely keeps flies away. We use indoor and outdoor. We don't seen to have gnats.

I think they only purpose for the lid is to keep flies from being able to fly out.

Yes, it is small enough mesh. I took them camping with us and they were very helpful. No flies......as long as everyone remembers to put the cover back on.

Yes it will. I've had the can for several years as well. And I can't ever remember having an issue with flies/gnats. I didn't clean mine out weekly either. The trash has even been full for a day or so without me noticing flies.

Unfortunately, it will not be strong enough because the purpose of the netting is really to prevent birds from perching or occupying an area. The net isn't strong enough to withstand a baseball pitch and will likely wear and tear away even if its temporary. I'm a Pest Control Applicator and would not recommend buying this item for that purpose.
