Gnat Sticky Traps that are Black!
I have an issue with anything a bright cadmium yellow and I normally put gnat sticky traps on my pots just in case my daughter overwaters them. π₯Ί The bright yellow is too loud for me so I found black ones and guess what? They donβt stand out as much anymore! π My focus isnβt the bright yellow but the green foliage! Did you know there were blue ones too??? Who would have thought there were black traps!!??? π₯Ή

I have seen other colors but as @jcPlantProper said, Iβve only used the yellow because apparently gnats are attracted to them. Let us know how these work! Iβm intrigued π
Well, I was going to ask how they work because of the exact reason @jcPlantProper and @kscape mentioned.
Could you keep us posted on them?

@AnnMarie420 in the reviews, you can kind of see the gnats because they are black on the black traps. So, you can see they are getting caught but thereβs no contrast which is a plus for me. π
@Yeeha234 Iβm not sure what attracts them. Iβve watched them fly and just settle on the traps for a rest and get stuck. They have blue ones!
@PlantMompy Iβll definitely keep everyone posted! I currently donβt have gnats but I can put a trap outside and see how that works!
@jcPlantProper that was one of my issues with the yellow. Not just the color but seeing the gnats once they were trapped. Mostly it was the bright yellow that drove me crazy. They just stood out every time I looked at my plants or walked past them. Did I tell you how much that color personally bothers me? I have problems with it! ππππ
@jaysjungle yes! I think itβs just a place to perch and get caught on when they are tired. I love not having the obnoxious yellow tags in my pots!

I donβt mind the yellow colorβ¦I just pretend they are blooms even on the plants that donβt flower! I appreciate being able to monitor the insect (gnat vs soil gnat) both inside, on the plant porch, and even in the prop boxes. I cut them down for those. When Iβm working at the bench and get assaulted by a gnat with a death wish Iβll grab one from a pot and wave it around until I get it. A sick little game but Iβm a plant momma so I gotta protect the family!!
@Yeeha234 I think thatβs a wonderful approach. Yellow makes me feel anxious and itβs been with me since I was about 22(?) π€·π½ββοΈ I have some yellow flowers outside however i avoid it as much as I can. Your thought process is a very good way to look at it. I think Iβd be okay with the traps if they werenβt so big or bright however I do prefer the black or even indigo or midnight blue due to my own laid back nature. Yellow makes me nervous. π
I have problems. π€£π€£π€£
@WickedValkyrie mine too!
