Best Fly Traps for NZ Homes: Reusable & Chemical-Free
Not all fly traps are equal. Here's how to choose the best reusable, chemical-free fly trap for your NZ home — and why UV-tough NZ-made wins.
The problem with most fly traps
Most fly traps sold in New Zealand are single-use plastic filled with harsh chemicals. They work for a week, crack in the sun, and end up in landfill. Kiwi households deserve better.
What makes a great NZ fly trap
- Reusable — refill with household bait, not a new plastic unit.
- UV-stable — won't crack after one Kiwi summer.
- Chemical-free — safe around kids, pets and bees.
- Designed for NZ conditions — not imported for European weather.

The GotchaPest Reusable Fly Trap ticks every box. It's a screw-on bottle trap, NZ-made from UV-stable plastic, and uses everyday household bait — no chemicals, no refills to buy. Ideal for homes, cafés, farms and food-prep areas.
Where to buy
