# The sticky yellow gnat traps work SO well but they are also so…

The sticky yellow gnat traps work SO well but they are also so frustrating. Sometimes I bump it and it sends soil flying. I feel like I always have one stuck to my arm or butt. Today I got one stuck in my hair and it pulled out quite a few strands lol. Last week we had to cut one out of my dog’s tail!

I have a few long hair cats with bushy tails. They have gotten them stuck on their backsides and then take off through the house!!!

I can’t even imagine with cats. My dog was so freaked out when he got it stuck in his tail.

This happens to me all the time! I used nematodes to get rid of the fungus gnats and I now don’t have to use as many fly traps

I’m starting to use diatomaceous earth and hoping I won’t need them anymore pretty soon

Feeling this!

Prayer plant stalk was the latest victim. The entire pot got knocked off a tall shelf, sticky trap snared several leaves when it fell. It’s okay, I think she needed a smaller pot anyway.
