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

I have these, 6, in a wire wrap type hanger and I don't have a bee or yellow jacket problem. Mine is on a hanger in the middle of a butterfly garden with a lot of flowering plants, lantana, butterfly bush, etc. No bee or yellow jackets.

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.

I use these in my portable greenhouse and wow they fill up quick with black flies and knats.I also use the fly strips and they work great.I just don't use anything like that outside.The best stuff for outside is yard guard.It is a spray and I use it in the bushes and trees that all bugs hide in.

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

All I know is that they will survive indoors. I'm having trouble with the bright sunlight here in New Mexico. I'm going to use shading cloth that blocks 30% sunlight and I hope that helps cause too much sun burns them.

Depends on what type of insects. I usually wear a shemagh under my mesh just to be safe for outdoor games. But if you're talking about insects like the size of flies, ants, bees, etc; then no.

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.

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

While they survived it seemed to help quite a bit with ours. We had gnats and flies that were obnoxious. But every time I have had issues with them. Got tired of dealing with it. Really like them but I don't know why but can't keep them alive.

Give them a few days to finally nosey onto to them, I also put sand on the top of my plants, because gnats don't like that. I may see one now and then, but I was infested with them, they were so aggrevating. The sticks do work. Just be patient. Are you using the ones that you slide into a stick? Those are the best. I tried them all. Good Luck.

They don't have insecticide nor do they have anything to attract the bugs. They're entirely passive, just a patch of very strong glue on a piece of paper. Bugs are VERY predictable. They like to skitter around where the wall meets the floor, so just put the traps near the wall and in corners.

only if they are really little. Ants might have a chance but I don't think anything as large as a beetle could do it.

I have never had to deal with these little critters so can't help. Good luck.

If the pest flies or crawls, these sheets should be effective. I use sheets lying flat in my windowsill for Box Elder bugs. And attached to a metal stake to trap all sorts of flying insects when I move plants indoors in the fall - a simple pesticide free solution.

Hi they catch fire when you hold them in your hands. Then when the air get warm they fly

While they are standing, measure tip of toe to end of what is on the ground. They do not go over the dew claws. If in between, order the larger, they won't fall off.
