Product Information

After setting up the trap in the kitchen for two weeks, we were able to catch over 50 fruit flies, and yet the board was not full. Each TERRO trap looks like an apple, so you can leave it on the counter or even put it right into the fruit bowl to treat your fruit fly problem. Since the gooseneck in the pipe below the sink drain is a common source of moisture, he suggests taking it apart and cleaning it thoroughly. Depending on the severity of the infestation you are dealing with, you can either use the yellow sticky fly traps whole or split them into two smaller traps by cutting them in half down the middle.

The active ingredient is citronella, which naturally kills fruit flies and drain flies on contact, similar to how citronella candles work. The adhesive is odorless and nontoxic, but you should still keep it away from your kids and pets because it can easily stick to clothing, skin, hair, and fur. Fruit fly tape is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and safe to use around children and pets. Given that you’ll need to replace the glue card every 21 days or sooner if full, pending your infestation, the cost of refilling the trap can add up over time. This applies to everything that we at MOOWY influence, such as the quality of our products and packaging.Note: If you are dealing with a severe infestation, yellow sticky traps will fill up with insects in no time. Odourless and free of harmful chemicals, they attract flies towards them with a sweet-smelling glue, which they stick to and die.

Once inside your home, they can breed and develop in many different areas, though they are particularly drawn to drains; garbage; dirty cleaning supplies; and ripe, rotting, or decaying food products.

The key to successful fruit fly elimination inside your home is to locate their breeding source and place a fruit fly trap nearby. The best course of action is to have a professional pest control company perform an inspection and look for the source, based upon their years of education and experience.This very attractive apple-shaped trap contains a non-toxic food-based liquid that attracts fruit flies and once they are inside they cannot escape continuing breeding and multiplying. Electric fly traps use UV light to attract flies of all types, killing them as they make contact with the electric grid in front of the light. Our top choice for the kitchen, Aunt Fannie’s FlyPunch, contains a mix of vinegar and fermented fruit, making it safe to use around food. Not only does the strip target current fruit flies but it also helps to prevent any future infestations. To make this one, all you need to do is pour some apple cider vinegar in a glass, cover the top with plastic wrap (you can secure it with a rubber band or hair tie), and poke some holes in the plastic.

The bright color attracts fruit flies, gnats, and other pests while the strong adhesive keeps them from getting away. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Besides, the real damage is often caused by the insect larvae that live in the soil which the traps simply do not catch. While you can also use yellow sticky traps outdoors, in orchards for example, there is a risk that the traps will catch beneficial insects alongside the destructive pests. Therefore, the quicker you remove the eggs and pupae stage, the quicker you can stop the infestation in its tracks.

To keep this test even and fair, I used the same baitin each trap (aside from the wine bottle trap). Although the glue is non-toxic, it is very sticky and if you get some on your hands, just remove it with some vegetable oil and then wash your hands with soap and warm water. The UV light draws fruit flies and other flying insects into the trap, where a fan pushes the insects out of the air and down onto the adhesive boards. In my ever-present desire to eat more fruits and vegetables, I pile up big bowls full of tomatoes and peppers, bananas and apples. We put this device through its paces, and we’re obsessed with its small size, which is comparable to a Glade Plug-In.

You can leave the bowl uncovered on your counter or any surface near where you tend to add fruit flies. Shereen Jegtvig is an author, fact-checker, and expert with over two decades of experience in health and wellness in the lifestyle space.
