Great piece for sun protection, but have yet to try it against insects. I'm positive it Will stand great.

I did not use them outside, however I would not hesitate if the weather is dry. The ant response was immediate, so one or two good weather days and the ants will probably be gone. Good Luck

They only work for me when it's over 90 degrees. Last summer we only had 4 or 5 days over 90 and I killed more with my fly swatter than they caught. When its hot, they fill up fast. Make sure to hang in the sun.

They are low to the ground because that is the height of them. I don't have a stand for mine, but when I want them higher, I put them on sandbags.................

I've been using these for a couple years and I can tell you without a doubt they will not keep ants out. Have beat the bee problem but keeping water in the moat is the only thing that beats the ants.

I bought the Garlic Barrier to keep away white flies and and spider mites and ants. They also help keep other insects away from plants. I bought my over a year ago and it is working for me. Remember it needs to be mix with water. I took a sponge and placed it with some of the plants. My garden is in pots on my deck.

hi, some will stay if there are aphids. almost all these flew away within a few weeks, even with a garden and aphids.

I just put these (mine are owls) up and so far they haven't worked keeping the blackbirds out of my trees. don't phase them a bit. I know I got them up late so will try again next year.

the fly traps I bought where all yellow and you opened the flaps to reveal 2 sides of sticky stuff...I had little success on my hicksi yews..i ended up using malithion and this gave good rusukts if sprayed early in the morning and weekly or bi weekly depending on the problem..yews are notorious for flys..a good dose of a high nitrogen on spring helps and or the evergreen spikes you drive in the ground next to the plant..a strong plant will fight off apgis and flies..also a lot of water just before winter sets in

I have raised praying mantises before and they might not be able to escape, but I think the fruit flies might. It would be a close call on both of them. The screen is very small, but so are they. I used a piece of very small mesh material to and doubled it over on the top of he jug I had them in. Maybe you could put something like that on top until they grow just a little.

I am not familiar with the sand flies of NZ. If they have any size of consequence, I would imagine the mesh would be fine enough to keep them out. My disappointment came from its inability to keep out the very tiny gnats of Wisconsin.

Fabric seems thick enough to provide protection, I guess it would depend on how large the mosquito. Used repellant on the material before use that will keep them away.

I use a mesh seed guard like this one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=20947&cmpid;=04csegpl&ref;=6111&subref;=AA&CAWELAID;=525384260&CA;GPSPN=pla&catargetid;=530005150000090886&c;adevice=cI got mine at a local bird supply store. They are pretty cheap and when they get dirty, you can throw them in the washing machine.

I have not yet installed the little tips that prevent insects from getting to the nectar, but have not yet had any problems. I have only had it up a few weeks, and suspect I will eventually have to add those guards - especially in late summer when we get yellow jackets.

No idea, have never seen any around this house. Bought them for ants and they seem to be "OK"

Definitely will keep the fruit flies out. But some are saying that they can crawl underneath, where the bottom of these touch the tabletop...I had no problems with insects getting in though.

They stand properly though they can be easily knocked over if you're moving things around. They pick up sound well so you don't have to have the handset too close to you. Hope this helps.
