Re: fly paper



I posted this question not long ago.  The consensus was that it is safe.
Something is added to the strips to make it smell like food to the
flies, but they die from landing on the strip and not being able to get
off, and not from pesticides.  Not a pleasant way to go, so I try not to
think about it.  I have them all over the Archives (the flies and the
strips).

The strips state "no poison no fumes."  The active ingredients are
mineral oil, rubber, and rosin.

Hi All,

I know this topic has come up before, but I just thought I'd check
again.
Is fly paper damaging to collections?  Please advise.

Thanks and Happy Friday!!
