We have to hand it to Alex Drummond: Ree's oldest daughter gets real on Instagram and we're so grateful for it. Whether she's updating us on a leak in her house or the latest toy for her dog George, it feels good to get suggestions and advice when you know she's just telling us like it is.
Take her recent visit to Instagram Stories, for example. Not only did we get to see her weekly self-tanner in progress, but she got right to the point about something that we all deal with but don't really want to talk about: bugs. Ick. "I wouldn't say we have a lot of noticeable gnats or flies," Alex admits, "But I've noticed a fruit fly here and there." It annoyed her enough to head over to Amazon to purchase something she's seen "all over Instagram and TikTok." It's the Safer Home Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap.
If you struggle with houseflies, fruit flies, moths, gnats, you name it, this is a chemical-free solution you should definitely try. This is how it works: You plug it into a wall outlet and a small UV LED light naturally attracts the flying pests. Behind the discreet design is a hidden glue card that traps them and rids your home from the constant buzzing and annoyance. Each plug works for a 400 square foot space, making it ideal for practically every room in the house.
Once the trap is mostly full, all you have to do is replace the glue card. It's as simple as that! No chemicals that could endanger kids or animals. No chasing around with a swatter to kill off bugs one at a time. All you have to do is plug it in and it does the work for you! Plus, it's under $20 for the plug and two replacement glue cards, making it affordable as well as safe and effective.
As for Alex's verdict? In the short time she's had it, it's already caught about ten flies. "It's the easiest, cheapest little contraption," she notes, adding that "everyone needs one!" Even if you only struggle with the occasional fly, it's an easy, affordable solution to take care of pests so you don't have to. Plus, it's so discreet that it will go unnoticed while it does the dirty work. We can totally see what all the buzz is about! Thanks for recommendation, Alex!
