Terro Fruit Fly Traps for Indoors (12 Pack) + 540 Days of Lure Supply

For the life of me I cannot figure out why the Terro FFTs are rated lower on Amazon than the Zeros. Compare and contrast this Terro fruit fly trap to the Zevo FFT. I tried the Terro and the Zevo side by side next to our kitchen sink, a popular fruit fly hang out at our house. A single Zevo device and only one cartridge for it is $20 on Amazon (round numbers); the unit I bought with only 2 devices and 2 cartridges was almost $38. And while I'm sure the additional expense is minimal, the Zevo must be plugged in and use electricity to work. Compare to the $20 I spent for SIX Terro FFTs and enough bait to refill them several times. Way cheaper! But cheaper means nothing if it doesn’t work, right? Well, you can tell be the pictures, the Terro works and it works very well. Not sure of the exact count but in the picture you can see more than 10 fly floaters…or sinkers as the case may be. The Zevo, not so much in my house, only two flies on this unit that sat just a couple of feet from the Terro. I plugged the second Zevo in at our wet bar, another fly hotspot in our house. This Zevo trap did NOT have a Terro next to it and it only trapped one fly. And the Zevo had been plugged in next to the sink for several days before I put the Terro out next to it. So the Zevo had plenty of time on its own to trap flies but it didn’t. The Terro requires no power and they can be washed out and reused. Additionally if you search on line you can find recipes for homemade bait that by all accounts works very well My little experiment is certainly not going to pass the test of scientific rigor but it was enough for me to decide I'm not going to waste any more money on the far more expensive Zevo unit and it's refills (6 refills cost $20 on Amazon). For me the Terro traps are the way to go.

Super excited about this fruit fly product. I kept the bananas a little too long and fruit flys were everywhere. I tried this product and was pleasantly surprised at how effective it was. It looks like a small red apple and you are given the attractant solution to put into the apples. To those who have fruit flies in their sink you need another product which is made by the same company for your sink drain trap. It is called Terro Foam Drain Insect Killer which will get rid of the problem. Much less expensive than an exterminator and the apples are reusable. The refill solutions are available on Amazon. I would not put the apples within a child’s reach, if turned sideways the solution will come out. Apples come in 4,6 and 12 packs. Excellent product and value.

I put out four of these traps and each one has caught at least some flies, and I have noticed a decrease in the number of flies around. The only complaint I have is the twist off top on the reservoirs. It did not work well for me. Not a big deal, as I just employed a pair of scissors.

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!

Every summer my apartment has a fruit fly problem. After getting some Raid traps and a week of no results I swapped to these. Almost a week with only two dead fruit flies with the other one and I've gotten two dead in the one night I've had these set up. I've always used these traps in the past and decided to try another brand and I can now say they got a lifelong customer out of me after comparing it. Give it a few days. It might not get all of them at once or get them slowly, but it will help manage the fruit fly population. Sometimes , very annoyingly, you will find fruit flies hanging around it rather than going in: but from my experience after leaving them out for a while i've come back to find them with nearly a dozen or so dead inside. Even if they don't kill them right away, they will help keep the fruit flies in a single location: consider moving where the trap is slightly to at least keep them contained away from sight. Folks, there's a reason you see these in public. It really helps!

These little traps definitely caught a lot of annoying fruit flies! I read the reviews before purchasing and some mentioned it taking a few days initially and that was accurate. Set them out and be patient and the fruit flies will get caught in them. The little clear windows on the sides and bottom are helpful for seeing how many flies they are capturing. The apple design is nice for helping them blend into the kitchen rather than standing out like the DIY water bottle contraption I made to catch them! They are very easy to install. Just pour the provided liquid into each apple and you’re all set to go! Would purchase again.

I’ve never had fruit flies at my current house, but got them pretty bad this year in my kitchen. I made sure there was NOTHING send my kitchen that would attract the flies(put my fruit in the fridge or cabinets) put three apple traps out and they were gone in a couple days. You just have to wait it out, but they won’t work if you still have food/fruit bowls laying around. It won’t happen in one day. I’ve tried these before at other homes with no luck, but this time it got rid of them FAST. I used them simultaneously with fruit fly drain foam (not sure the brand).

UPDATE! After 4 days they took the bait. I am happy to say that this product works and I am pleased with my purchase…patience which I definitely ran out of. Does NOT work for Black Drain Gnats. I have a small kitchen and I set 6 traps with no results. Upon opening the solution which smells like apple cider vinegar the gnats came in close so I hurried and stepped away and watched as they landed but flew away without entering the trap. Today is the second day and if no results I will add more apple cider vinegar. Sadly, I may need to hire a professional IT WORKS! Give it some time. Fruit Flies or Drain Gnats are frustrating and annoying be patient lol unlike myself. I do recommend this product.

Please don't purchase this product. Simply waste of money. I have not opened the seal then also they r not arranging for pick up.

المنتج لا يؤدي الغرض وما يقتل الحشرات لا انصح به

This product doesn't seem to do anything, it's just a waste of money and you can't even return it for a refund.

I was upset that this product is more expensive than the competitors, and it didn’t wipe or attract anything

Use only minimum amount of liquid product, if you put too much seems to repel the purpose.
