apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I was looking at these last night, and bought them this morning.

You can also buy them singly for $9 each, so that two singles cost less than a 2-pack ($21). I also googled up a promotional code that takes 10% off all S&H orders til November, WEBP157, so my order of two flycatchers was $16.20 before shipping/handling and tax.

Here's hoping they put a dent in our yearly plague of yellow jackets...

I also saw some colored Smith & Hawkin fly/wasp catchers at Target. I didn't purchase any as I don't have an outdoor space, but they would have matched the very cool candleholders I got on sale.

Could you use these indoors? My SI does not have screens in his windows and we constantly leave then open for the fresh air. But the moths and gnats that come in are ridiculously annoying. I am thinking this could help?

Does anyone know if it is easy to clean out the bugs afterwards? Do they just dump out, or does it get pretty gross?

But you can see all the little corpses through the glass! I bet they don't look half so pretty filled with jam and dead bugs...! Franceshilary.com has some which are coloured, so you don't have to watch the bugs in their sugary death-throes, and they have a cork in the top so you can just pour them away and not have to touch them. I'm not sure if moths are terribly fond of sugar tho?

Bought one this afternoon as a gift. Cute, cute and more importantly, environmentally-friendly...well, killing bugs isn't very environmentally-friendly but the way of doing it is I guess.
