TERRO Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors (4 Pack) + 180 Days of Lure Supply - T2503SR - Lure and Kill Indoor Fruit Flies Near Fruit, Trash Cans, Countertops - Ready to Use Trap - 180 Day Supply

We were inundated with fruit flies last spring when I discovered these. In a couple of days the fruit flies were pretty well gone. I expect to be buying these again before long as fruit fly season is not far off.

They work fast with wonderful results. I compared them to electrical traps and these court far more fruit flies and very fast. They were wonderful, and very affordable.

These have been somewhat effective. While I have seen less of these pests when I've got this active, I've also seen them literally just hangout on top of the apple. It's like it can see its dead incestuous disgusting family in the goo and it actually takes it as a warning to not proceed. Perhaps I should stop reusing the same trap... Once this stuff runs out, the pests start right back up again. Not as dense as before, but it is noticeable. I'd rather have this than nothing, that's for sure. I wish this came with way more of the liquid. I feel like I have too many apples and not enough liquid. This seller doesn't appear to sell the liquid in bulk, you just have to buy more traps, which is annoying. I also prefer filling it way more than it suggests because if I fill it less, then I have to replace it more frequently. Ergo, providing more of the liquid would be far more useful. This does emit a faint smell, but I've found that it only smells when I'm directly above it. Make sure to tell your guests or family that this thing can spill if you pick it up wrong. I'd ideally rate this maybe 3.5 stars. It works well enough to keep the pests down, but it's not a permanent solution and they don't always fall for the trap. Update: I've changed my mind. Solid 4 stars. I noticed German roach nymphs wading dead in the liquid. I've been keeping these near my sink because that's where the fruit flies hang out. It appears as though the roaches, while trying to get a drink in the sink, find the fruit fly trap and want in. I have a small infestation of roaches in my place, so if they don't fall for one trap, I'm glad they'll fall for another. I don't like having roach traps on my counter due to the chemicals used, so this much-less-poisonous-to-humans trap is a great alternative.

These traps saved me from having to find little bottles to turn into fruit fly traps. They’re simple to use. Just pour their lure into the holes. When that expires, pour a little vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar because I had more of it on hand.) into the holes. When you see the traps are filled with flies or the vinegar is low, spill it out, rinse and refill. Easy. No mess. No electric parts. No noise. Reusable. Effective. They’re small enough to fit anywhere. The red color is just right to fit the little apple 🍎 shape but not so bright as to be noticeable. Worth the money for me. 😉

We had a lot of fruit flies from other apartment units (we are very clean and cover all foods, and dump trash regularly). This apple WORKS. Within hours the fruit flies hovered around it and then they died inside the apple. We have two apples now and the fruit flies mainly hang around them. They are no longer all over the house. Not many fruit flies left. They keep dying inside the apples.

Works extremely well. Takes a second if you’ve got a good amount of flies but after a week I barely saw any at all, within two they were all gone

I’ll save kitchen scraps in a small bucket in my kitchen, and that led to a fruit fly problem. I bought some of these, and they worked really well. They do dry up pretty quickly, and the manufacturer wants you to buy their liquid to refill them. I found that you can do a mix of apple cider vinegar and dish dishwashing detergent at about a 4 to 1 ratio, and that works just as well. I only gave it three stars though because you still have to refill them often. It does catch lots of flies, though, and I no longer have the problem, even though I still keep kitchen scraps on my counter.

I compost kitchen waste, but it generally takes a good while to fill up the can as I do far less food prep than I used to. I guess the fruit flies and little gnats are coming in with my fresh groceries. I have been using flypaper for years. Decided to try this product, mainly because of the TERRO brand, which I've used for decades when there's an ant invasion. The only minus is the small amount of liquid for the price. No cleanup. Bugs go in, they don't come out.
