Indoor Bug Lamp or Other

[Thirteenth Star]

Can somebody recommend one, or some other effective non-aerosol means of eliminating indoor flying insects?

Fly paper. It's not high-tech, but it works....

April fish!

How about a few of these?

The website says they eat 2-3 flys a month, so if you have an insect problem, you'll need a bunch of them.

There are propane powered ones for mosquitos. I'm pretty sure they're for outdoor use though.

Yeah, don't use the propane ones indoors. The use the propane to generate carbon dioxide which is, in concentrations, poisonous.

Hairspray works on flying insects. It hardens on their wings and then they can't fly and you can swat them easily.

That reminds me, my mother uses Fantastik , or something, a cleaning spray on the window screens above the kitchen sink and it kills flys just as fast as bug spray and is "soft on hands"

Last Summer I put a scented oil, such as cocunut, in a cup and placed the cup in a high traffic flying insect area (BTW, do insects have a UNICOM frequency?). Insects were attracted to the oil, landed on it, and got stuck.
