TERRO T2502 Ready-to-Use Indoor Fruit Fly Trap with Built in Window - 2 Traps + 90 day Lure Supply

I almost never do a review, but this deserves it. I had an issue with gnats, aka fruit flies or maybe sewer flies ( they look the same w/o a magnifying glass) in my kitchen. Anyway, I don't think the thing was working, till I looked through the little window on the side and it had a bunch of the little b***ards in there! After a couple of weeks I never see a single gnat, er fruit fly or whatever...

These worked as described. I've only had them a few days and there are lots of gnats dead inside. The cycle seems to be broken and I haven't had any new gnats flying around.

Had a bad fruit fly infestation. Was trying everything. These lil boogers had 100+ flies in each trap within 24 hours. However, it is a fancy plastic cup with apple cider vinegar as the bait. It is humorous that you could 3D print this. They really should disclose that you can re use it by changing the vinegar vs. throwing it away after a few weeks.Use these in conjunction with https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WZT2NYY?ref=fed_asin_title where you can rage against flies.

This product does not trap the flies whatsoever. The holes on the top are far too large and the flies can just buzz right out whenever they want. The only flies it actually kills are the ones who drown themselves! As a lure, the chemical (smells like mostly apple cider vinegar) works very well, so here's a breakdown of what you should do:Step 1: Recon-Examine the areas the flies congregate in. Generally this will be places like a produce basket, an under-the-microwave light, the garbage, a compost bucket, and the sink or other moist places.Step 2: Address the congregation areas-The flies are searching for food and water, especially anything sugary.-If they are attacking your produce, determine if there's any old or broken produce and dispose of it. Place other produce in the refrigerator or inside enclosed (tupperware) containers. Clean the normal produce container inside and out, preferably with a dishwasher or soak in hot water. Clean the areas near it as well. Don't forget the onions and potatoes you might keep in a different spot! The oven is a great place to store things if you don't have alot of containers, but be careful that you don't bring the flies with you.-If they are hanging out by the garbage, empty your garbage/recycling more frequently and clean the receptacles.-If they are in the sink, try to wash the dishes immediately after use instead of leaving them for later.-If they are in your dishwasher, try the above and hand wash for a week instead or run the dishwasher more frequently instead of letting dirty dishes sit.- If you compost, leave the bucket outdoors for a while or stop composting while you deal with the infestation.You get the idea.Step 3: Lure and Kill- If you bought these lures, place them in the biggest offending areas in a prominent place, preferably close to lighting (leave the lights on if you can). You will see the little devils sit right on top or slightly inside the lures. They may also hang out nearby. Now is your time to strike!-Grab a bottle of windex and make sure it sprays a nice mist instead of a jet. Your best bet is to attack while they are grounded, but often the mist will weight their wings down and they will fall to the closest surface. It may take a second squirt but they will die rapidly in a pool of windex.-Don't go crazy trying to get every single fly as they will settle down and congregate again in a little while.-Be prepared to spray the windex whenever you approach the offending areas. If you're about to open the dishwasher, rip it open and spray right away! Same for garbage or the fridge.This is a fool-proof way to commit fruit-fly genocide. They are going after essentially dirt and grime so get cleaning! Now is not the time to be eco-conscious and save that bruised apple. Use it, eat it, compost it, throw it away!If you follow this guide your infestation should be under control within 72 hours and nearly/completely gone within a week. Be careful not to reoffend by going exactly back to old habits though!Good luck!

The scent does attract fruit flies ,but attracting them to the little apple doesn't kill the fruit flies.Some fruit flies sit on the top of the apple. Others enter the holes- then come back out.Terro doesn't provide sufficient solution to near the top of the apple, which gives fruit flies plenty of time to change their minds and fly back out.To top it off ,the solution EVAPORATES. I discovered that I have a whole bunch of EMPTY Terro apples.The fruit fly traps are advertised as lasting for 90 days, but they don't.A Terro customer service representative told me that 90 days means 45 days -per trap !She said that "90 days" means 90 days only if customers use only ONE trap, and re-fill the one appleafter it evaporates after 45 days (or less, in my experience).Advertising 90 day effectiveness of a product that last 45 days constitutes False and Misleading Advertising.Terro refuses to send me lure or additional apples with fruit fly "lure" to replace the ones which were advertised as lasting for 90 days, but which Terro knows evaporate in 45 days (or less.)I've spent a good deal of money on Terro fruit fly traps- because they USED to trap fruitflies- and I've been desperate.These traps probably cost Terro 25 cents a piece, but Terro won't sent me any lure to replace the lure that evaporated.I'm going to mix up apple cider vinegar with sugar and put that in the Terro apples. The fruit flies do seem to be intrigued by the apples. and a few have drowned .Save your money and buy Apple Cider Vinegar & sugar.I read that one should put clear tape over drains in order to identify the source . IF there are flies stuck to the underside, the "fruit flies" are drain flies, and the best way to get rid of them is to clear out the drains.Good Luck with your fruit flies .
