Know before you buy
The trap uses a food-based liquid lure that mimics the scent of fermenting fruit, which is naturally attractive to fruit flies. Once they enter the apple-shaped container, they are unable to escape.
Yes, the trap uses a non-toxic formula. However, it is still best to place the traps in areas that are not easily accessible to curious pets or small children to avoid accidental spills.
Each trap provides up to 45 days of protection. After that period, or once the liquid has evaporated or become full of trapped flies, you should replace it for continued control.
For the best results, place the traps near common fruit fly hotspots, such as near fruit bowls, trash cans, or kitchen drains. The apple design is discreet enough to sit directly on your countertop.
These traps are designed as a single-use, disposable system. Once the 45-day lifespan is up, you should discard the entire unit and replace it with a fresh one.
