And better yet, gone are the days of unsightly traps — this attractive, apple-shaped trap looks right at home in any kitchen.
Don’t let these annoying pests get the best of you — get rid of them with Terro’s ready-to-use, fast-acting Fruit Fly Trap.
Is it a Fruit Fly?
Fruit flies can be found swarming around fruit bowls, kitchen garbage cans or dishwashers. They are distinguished by their red eyes. The Terro fruit fly trap uses a food based liquid lure that is designed to lure adult fruit flies. But they are not the only pests that can be found flying around the kitchen. It’s possible your problem many not be fruit flies, but a drain fly or fungus gnat.
Drain flies, as the name implies, would be centralized by your kitchen sink and develop in the gunky, black material that build up in sinks and drains. They can be taken care of simply, by treating your sink with a common chemical drain cleaner. Fungus gnats may be seen congregating around any house plants- especially those that have been over-watered. Allowing your plants to dry between watering can effectively help to control these pests. The Terro fruit fly trap will not be effective against these pests.
Trapping Fruit Flies with Terro
All stages of a fruit fly infestation depend on moist organic debris to complete the fruit fly life cycle. The non-toxic acetic acid found in the Terro Fruit Fly Trap lures the flies to the traps and eliminates the infestation. Within a few days of placing the trap near a breeding source, you should see a significant decrease in the number of fruit flies.
Fruit Fly Breeding Areas
The key to successful elimination of fruit flies is to locate their breeding source and place a Terro Fruit Fly Trap nearby. Fruit flies are commonly spotted swarming around kitchen fruit bowls and near garbage storage areas. Place traps behind or under kitchen counters, sinks, dishwashers, near unrefrigerated fruits and vegetables, and any other location where fruit is stored.
It’s as Simple as 1-2-3
Activate the Terro Fruit Fly Trap by pulling the leaf-like lid off the base of the trap and exposing the vapor chamber. Empty the liquid lure into the trap, keeping the lid open while trap is in use. Place the trap in an area where flies have been seen and where the trap can go undisturbed and would not be tipped over. You’re done. You won’t find an easier trap to use.

Customer Reviews
Fruit flies began popping up everywhere, flying in front of my face when I was doing dishes, in front of my computer screen in a dark room, landing in my coffee cups every morning when I wasn't looking, and of course, a dozen would launch into flight any time I neared the kitchen sink. I began to wage war - I kept my house spotless from food or damp places they could nest. I would lock onto one and stalk it around the apartment, my back huntched, my hands out ready to squash the beast as soon as I got an opportunity. Unfortunately, this was a battle I was losing.
I found the Terro 2500 Fruit Fly Trap whilst googling home remedies for getting rid of fruit flies. I ordered two, and was at first confounded - several fruit flies would land on the outside of it and sit there, almost as if to mock my feeble attempts to one-up them on the battlefield. This continued for several days. However, I soon started noticing the bastards climbing down into the chamber, and now, a week later, there are at least 20 carcasses in my Terro 2500 Fruit Fly Trap by the sink, trapped dead forever in the red liquid, serving as a reminder for every new fruit fly that crawls down the trap - I will be victorious.
