DIY Zevo refills for MUCH less --- more than 90% discount :) :) :)
UPDATE - These have been working extremely well for me. I am adding my template. I cut the pieces three and five-eighths inches wide. I only cut one side and the top of my refills, for the other side and the bottom I use the edges of the trap. Although I wrote the height on the template, it's just the height from the red line to the bottom of the trap. Since the top of the trap isn't sticky, I cut most of that part off. I made the decision that it's ok to have adhesive almost all the way to the top. You could make them longer and cut the arch and dip farther up from the red strip. You would have more adhesive-free area to pull the trap off, but it also starts to get harder to pull the trap out from behind the bar on the Zevo insert. Happy catching!I am extremely happy about how well this product worked for a slightly off-label use. It turns out that this product makes a very reasonably-priced replacement for the grossly overpriced, proprietary Zevo UV light refills. Here's my story...A certain person let in some flies this summer and their progeny have been an extreme annoyance ever since. I ended up trying out an (overpriced) UV nightlight with fly paper, otherwise known as a Zevo flying insect trap. I didn't know if it would work, but I was sort of desperate. It turns out that once I found a good outlet for the light - not over a countertop with cabinets overtop but on a bare wall nearer the floor - the Zevo did a really good job at catching bugs, both the flies that I knew we had and a few fruit flies that I didn't even know were around. I wasn't entirely happy with it, though, since this is a $20 nightlight that uses UV light and refills were $7.50 for a two-pack. Fly paper seemed to work almost as well and is only 50 cents a roll. Flypaper is really gross, though, and I couldn't put flypaper in the room the flies liked, so the much more attractive and expensive nightlight won out.Since the light trap worked, my next problem was the refills. The refills have a special shape and a plastic insert that needs to be pushed into the lamp for it to be turned on. A reasonable safety feature since this light produces a little UV light, but also very convenient for Zevo in that it makes substitutions much harder. After examining the refill, I realized that it was just some sticky goo on a plastic sheet, and the glue could be scraped off. I went ahead and scraped off the glue. I STRONGLY STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend doing this with a new refill before it has any insects on it. Just trust me on that one. I first tried replacing their adhesive with double-sided tape which didn't work and was a real pain to get back off.Then I did some research online and found this product. Unlike the other fly window papers that I had found on Amazon or elsewhere, this one is bigger and I don't have to piece together two strips each time. Unlike double-sided tape, there's just a small strip of adhesive on the back. Enough to stick, not enough to cause much trouble when removing the trap for disposal. Turns out that the trap sheets are big enough that I can cut the papers in half and then trim them slightly and they fit the Zevo light very well. I'm still working on placement and hope to add photos if I can get the template just right. For now, I've put the 1/2 sheet fly traps just under the top plastic tab in the refill, rounded the bottom edges a bit, and it works. Within just a couple of minutes, I had my first victim. The window fly trap stays in the Zevo light well and is easy to remove.Yes, it's maybe 10 minutes of annoying work to remove Zevo's adhesive in the first place - but their refills are two for $7 or $3.50 each. With these (at the current price), it's 24 XL sheets for about $13 which means I get 48 refills (each sheet is cut in half) for that price or about 27 cents each. That's more than a 90% discount over Zevo's prices and means I can justify using the light. Also, when the Zevo company makes a product with the intention of requiring your repeated patronage for that product to continue working, then prices the refills so unreasonably, I must admit that I am filled with a sense of devious satisfaction when I rip one of these window traps off their refill and slap a new one in its place.If this review helped you, please click the helpful button.

It work very well!
I have two other bug zapper in my house. One in the bedroom and dinning room. We open our back door a lot to let our dogs out. We get a lot of flies that come in. I seen this and read other reviews. Thought I give it a try. It works well for me. I put four on our back French doors. It catches a lot of bugs as you can see in the pictures. I’ll keep buy this. It’s easy to clean off the windows. I just pull it off and replace another one. There isn’t any smell or odor. Sometimes I forget they’re on the windows too. It ain’t too expensive like other products. Very easy to put on too.

Amazing
I was super skeptical about these but they are amazing! The amount of flies they have caught is great. These are worth the money and I like that I can set them on the windows and not worry about someone running into the strip that hangs off the ceiling. It's outta sight outta mind for the Littles too. It's really easy to take off and put on and leaves no residue. And when it goes on its clear so it isnt ugly. Of course when rhe flies stick you can see them but the stickiness is very strong and it works great.

This really works!
If you put these in the corners of your windows, you will be surprised at how many flies will be trapped. It’s a little gross to see dead flies on your window. But it’s better than them flying all over your house. You just have to be patient.

Discreet and just work
I find these a decent solution to flies in the house, although this might depend on how your house is laid out. Our dining room, off the kitchen, has large windows, and we stuck 6 of these to those windows and nowhere else. We'd noticed that we were swatting a lot of flies in that room, and that would be my suggestion - think about where you need to keep the fly swatter and use the windows in that room. It took about a month for the first set to be covered, and we're filling up the second set at the same rate with our new dead fly collection. The nice thing about this is that if visitors stop by, you can discreetly just rip them off the window and into the trash in seconds :). I've honestly been surprised and happy at how well these work, no chemicals, just clear well-designed stickers.

This past summer
I saw these bottom perfect for the value of the product. The functionality was perfect. The stickiness is very sticky witnessed flies not being able to escape from this product on the Windows. This is a perfect idea to catch flies in the house. This sure beats having to spray harsh chemicals that seem to suck the oxygen From you I highly recommend this product!

Great concept!
I purchased the MaxGuard Window Fly Traps hoping to tackle a persistent summer fly problem in my home. While the quantity provided was ample, and the traps were easy to set up, I found that they were not as effective as I had hoped. The adhesive did trap some flies, but many of them seemed to escape or avoid the traps altogether. I think they may work if you leave your windows open and the flies enter through the windows, however living in Florida my windows are never open, the flies come in through the door when opened. They are easy to use and easy to dispose of. Additionally, the design made it difficult to peel off and dispose of. Overall, while the concept is good, the execution fell short in terms of effectiveness and convenience.
