The presence of flying insects in our homes can be a constant source of irritation and inconvenience. Pesky pests like fruit flies, wasps, house flies, mosquitoes and moths have an uncanny knack for finding their way into our living spaces, causing annoyance and even potential health hazards. Traditional solutions for dealing with these winged intruders, such as fly paper, can be unsightly and ineffective, while other toxic options pose risks to our families and pets, leaving homeowners frustrated in their search for a safe and effective solution.

The science behind The Fly Inn involves behavior and attraction mechanisms of insects. There are visual attractants such as light, color and patterns that draw insects to specific areas. Positively phototactic insects will naturally move towards light. A prime example of this behavior is any time you see flying insects around windows. This is why the Fly Inn is designed to be placed on windows and glass doors.
Studies show that flies and mosquitos are particularly attracted to blue tones, as these insects associate blue tones for being hosts.
The Fly Inn traps include a geometric pattern with various hues of blue to increase catch rates. In six unique lab tests, the trap with this visual attractant caught on average 522% more house flies than traps without a visual attractant.
