Ever been chopping onions, and a tiny fly decides to join the party? Or worse, a fruit fly lands on your perfectly ripened mango? Kitchens are a magnet for tiny uninvited guests — flies, fruit flies, mosquitoes… and sometimes even lizards! Enter flytrap sticky paper, the humble yet mighty kitchen sidekick you didn’t know you needed.

What’s the deal with sticky paper?
It’s basically bright, sticky strips of magic that lure insects in and don’t let them go. Flies, mosquitoes, fruit flies, and yes, even small lizards sometimes meet their match here.

Why your kitchen will love it

  • Keeps those tiny bugs away from your fruits, veggies, and prep surfaces.
  • Hang it anywhere — near the counter, pantry, or even above the fruit basket — and let it do its thing.
  • Affordable and effective. A pack lasts weeks, and it’s cheap enough to stock up without guilt.

Pro tips

  • Hang strips slightly away from flames and kids’ reach.
  • Swap out sticky strips once they’re full — nobody likes a dusty insect trap.
  • Keep your kitchen clean to reduce the number of invaders competing for the sticky buffet.
