Terro2-Pack Fruit Fly Trap

Cost is great the product works! I've used this before it's very effective. Not the best smell if you get close but doesn't smell up the house. I've caught a significant amount in 12 hours. Cleaning it out is easy. Works for days. Make sure you put boiling water down your drains this helps in case they are living in there and take out your trash daily. Living down south these things can and will infest your house fast. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with this problem. The picture is less than 12 hours and the bottom has plenty of them in it.

Some of the reviews had me skeptical, but happy to share that I am very pleased with this product. I was a bit worried when I first set it out, there were a LOT of fruit flies sitting on TOP of the apples; but after the first night, there were just as many INSIDE the apples. After two nights, it has amassed a significant collection and there are significantly less flying around. It initially doesn’t smell the best but it’s not a lingering smell, just light a nice fall candle to quickly offset it. They are small and not unappealing, easy to place. Definitely worth the “investment.”

I've tried 4 things so far on amazon, so far these worked the best for my fruit fly problem, but not as much as i would like.

I had fruit flies that invaded my room, and I would be accosted daily with little dots hovering around my face day and night. This product cleared them up within days. The one thing to keep in mind is the bait does smell of rotting apples in it's immediate vacinity, so keep some scented air spray handy. But, if you keep the traps across the room, you can barely smell it. The trap does catch and drown the fruit flies in the bait, as it's essentially a scented oil container with holes, by the second day there were tons in the apple and none in the air. 5/5

I suppose the quality rating would vary depending on the attributes you value most. The little traps are cute. Not unobtrusive given they are red, but they are tiny. The liquid seems to be a watered down apple cider vinegar, so it attracts the fruit flies. These traps are easy to use if you are tossing them when the job is done. They are, of course, disgusting if you want to clean and reuse them. In my case, the traps lasted just over a week before drying out. This is less than half the stated time to expect. So, if cute and tiny is your goal these work. If a fast job is all you need, these work. If you’re brining in fresh organic (not sprayed) foods from your garden and store, these won’t be enough at times. If you’re not ok with plastic waste these aren’t for you. My homemade traps have been working for over a year without a refill and reuse plastic water bottles I got from people I know. So the homemade versions win for me and I put those back in place.

These are a nice little option to help if you have a fruit fly problem. You can refill with apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap. I have seen them used in bars where the fruit flies are attracted to the sugars in the liquors. Especially nice since they don’t look like they are hanging out due to a bug issue 😳. Not so great for fungus gnats around your plants so if that’s your problem don’t bother with this.

These little fly catcher’s are great! This year the fruit flies seemed to linger longer than usual because of the warmer temperatures. I tried everything from vinegar/soap combinations, making sure there’s no fruit left out, and constantly rinsing my drains. They just wouldn’t die! So, I ordered 3 packs of these in addition to a drain enzyme.Super easy to use, good value, and within a few days these were full. They catch so many flies. Highly recommended

Catches a good amount of fruit flies but there are a few that avoid it.
