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

Most important info in front: From what I am reading and what I've seen, this trap might not "prevent escape" as it claims. It looks to really rely on drowning the flies in the liquid, so if you are looking for a way to move the bugs to the outdoors, this isn't the way to go. However if this is what you want like I did, make sure to keep using a liquid bait that will drown the flies and, if you are looking to DIY the liquid, look at an apple cider vinegar/dish soap mixture (haven't tried it but looks to be a good mixture based on other reviews).I have used Terro in the past for ants, so even though this product has lower ratings than some other products, I was more willing to spend a couple less dollars with a brand I use already. There is also quite a bit of reviews saying this doesn't work (or at least not well), and I can't work out why it works sometimes but doesn't for others. I have a feeling based on results that did work for one star reviewers that it may be down to the liquid. Maybe something about the strength compared to other things the flies can get to, maybe its quality varies a bit between batches. If it doesn't work for you, I might suggest making a DIY liquid recipe for the bait and just reusing the container and see if that works.The bait does seem to be vinegar-based from the smell, so if you don't like that smell, this may not be for you. I only found the smell being strong through when ours got accidentally knocked over and I was near the spill site. While Terro doesn't seem to sell the liquid bait on its own, you probably can get away with reusing these with a DIY liquid mixture or even another brand. I really like the look of these traps especially compared to DIY setups, and they hide away the death that will be coming without making it impossible to check without opening.We had the problem with the fruit flies for at least a week before we ordered these after some peaches started to rot. They had moved to the sink after the peaches were thrown, and a puff of flies would appear when we used the sink. We purchased this and within 72 hours of placing it, it had gotten most of the flies. After that, it was tipped, so I threw the first one cause I just didn't want to deal with cleaning the now clogged holes of flies. I placed the second one and used painter's tape to secure it and it has been there since.

These fruit fly traps have been a game-changer in my kitchen. I love how easy they are to set up—just place them where you’ve seen the flies, and they do the work. The built-in window lets you see the trap fill up, which is pretty satisfying! The lure lasts for 90 days, so I don't have to worry about constantly refilling. I’ve noticed a huge reduction in fruit flies, and it’s been a huge relief during the warmer months. Highly recommend if you’re dealing with these pests!

Works well but not enough solution for two traps.

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!
