Small black gnats above the potting soil are usually fungus gnats. Ollie Yellow Sticky Traps catch the adult gnats before they lay new eggs in the soil – simply insert them into the pot.

Key features

  • Bright signal yellow attracts fungus gnats; whiteflies and aphids also get stuck
  • Waterproof, strongly adhesive glue – holds even with wet soil, high humidity and when misting the plants
  • Can be used for up to 3 months, indoors and outdoors
  • Works purely physically: without insecticides, odourless, made from recyclable material
  • Size per trap: 75 × 130 mm

How to use

  1. Hold the trap by its lower end.
  2. Peel off the protective paper.
  3. Insert it into the soil close to the plant or attach it to the rim of the pot – as close to the soil as possible.
  4. Replace it when the surface is full or no longer sticky, and dispose of it with household waste.

What's included

  • 30 or 60 yellow sticky traps, depending on the pack

Good to know

  • Yellow sticky traps catch the adult gnats. Nematodes help against the larvae in the soil. Also: avoid waterlogging and let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings.

Frequently asked questions

Are yellow sticky traps enough on their own against fungus gnats?

Yellow sticky traps catch the adult gnats and so prevent new eggs from being laid. They don't directly help against the larvae in the soil. It's best to combine them with sparing watering, a layer of sand and, in heavy infestations, nematodes.

How many yellow sticky traps do I need per plant?

One trap is usually enough for a normal flower pot. For large pots, planters or heavy infestations, you can use two to three traps. Replace them as soon as the adhesive surface is full or no longer sticks.

Are fungus gnats dangerous to people or pets?

No. Fungus gnats don't sting or bite and, according to the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt), pose no health risk to humans or animals. In heavy infestations, however, their larvae can damage the fine roots of houseplants, especially seedlings and young plants.
