Have not seen any fruit flies going into the trap, but sure have not seen any fruit flies in my kitchen. It was horrible last year and this is wonderful.

Seems to be doing the job - no more fruit flys

A beautiful addition to my kitchen island that blends in very well. Holds the traps and works very well.

Just the way it is described
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We always have gnat and fruit fly problems during the summer here in Florida. This product really does the trick. I was skeptical at first, but it really does work! And the soapstone box looks nice on the window sill.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have my trap stationed next to the compost pot next to the kitchen sink. Last year we were riddled with fruit flies, however, this year I placed the trap on the counter before spring started. I have seen a couple of flies; however, they disappear shortly after seeing them. If I notice any flies near the fruit bowl across the kitchen, I just move the trap there temporarily until the flies are gone. Definitely would recommend this product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It is a pretty box that I will find a use for after I give up on the traps it hides.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product works great. I had what seemed like an infestation of fruit flies and within two days they were gone. Very happy with the product!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I got these last year to control the little flies that the cat box attracts even when you clean it daily. The soapstone box is attractive & it looks like a potpourri thingy. I got refills this time since the flies ramp up when it gets warm out. I place it near/on top of the cat box. It just plain works. Ordered the refills this time.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This was absolutely worthless! We had fruit flies all over and the box did not attract them or catch them.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Had a small problem with fruit flies with my counter top container I use until I can get scraps outside to the composter. No more problems. Looks great on the kitchen counter too!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Open pet food bowls were drawing the fruit flies. I can put the covered box on the floor next to the bowls and the pets can't get in it!

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had fruit flies every room of the house and the day after putting out the trap i didn't see a single one! It's been about 2 months and I've still only seen 1 or 2.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The pests come home with you from the stores and soon start multiplying. they cannot resist this trap. It really works.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Odorless and decorative. It is a bit larger in size than expected taking up more precious kitchen counterspace.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I love this product so much I've given it as gifts to my sisters and friends! It's inexpensive and does what it claims...eliminates those nasty little flys around your fruit and vegtable baskets in the house.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Like it so much I purchased one for my daughter's kitchen. She loves it too. Looks great on the counter and disposes of all those nasty little flies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The traps are effective and easy to use. There is no muss and no fuss- it is easy to change the traps as needed. The traps are extremely effective as in no time at all, the bug population is depleted. The soapstone boxes to hold the traps allow them to be placed even in conspicuous places and not be an eyesore as they look like little boxes that hold trinkets.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone container for the product to get rid of fruit flies is very attractive, so you don't even notice it. Makes it possible to put up with the "treatment".
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I use it next to the compost bucket where when I lift the lid the fruit flies emerge. Seems to help control the flies!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I must be doing something wrong as I put these near the fruit basket and nothing happened. I could only get a few flies to go into it.
I'm going to give it anoter try.
The soapstone box is quite beautiful and looks good on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We enjoy our fruit at room temp, now our fruit can be left out on the counter without the bothersome fruit flies. I gave each of my 5 sisters one of these for christmas, they truely loved it.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
My mom had a problem with fruit flies in her kitchen she was using fly strips but they were so ugly. This is much better.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
IT WORKS AND LOOKS GOOD TO. PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHAT IT IS FOR
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The fruit fly traps definitely work. It took a little while but the fruit flies are gone. Thanks!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I got two fly traps and didn't trap a single fly.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I'm relly not sure whether the "trap" did the job or the "beasts" died of starvation while I was gone for Thsnksgiving break - but I'm pretty sure (based on previous experience) that it was the "thing" that did the trick
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
No fruitflies in the winter, but in any case, I can't get the soapstone box open! Maybe when the weather warms up...
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product was not effective. The fruit flys did not go into the receptable.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product really works! We regularly have a major fruit fly issue and when they come they are hundreds. We usually hang up fly paper (so attractive in the kitchen)so I decided to give this a try instead.
It goes anywhere in the kitchen and is safe and unobtrusive. And, it works! Excellent product
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I'm not sure how effective this is, and since the "solution" smells like vinegar, I think I'll make my own and not buy any refills.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Worked Great
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It doesn't work at all!!!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We placed this item right next to our fruit bowl after a trip to the store brought fruit flies back to our house. Within three or four days, the fruit flies were gone! The soapstone color was pretty. One thing which we found surprising was the size of the trap - the sides of the triangle were about four inches long (I was expecting someing only an inch or two long from the photo). All in all, a great product!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Nice looking trap...no one will ever know!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
In a short time the pesky fruit flies were a problem of the past. The Fruit Fly Trap did just what it was supposed to do - trap fruit flies. No more pests hovering around the bowl of fruit.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We had a small number of fruit flies this fall around the kitchen sink. Even though low in numbers, they were still a BIG nuisance. I had never tried a fruit fly trap but trusted Gardener's Supply Company and read other purchaser's reviews. I purchased the product and am extremely happy with the results. It took a few days for the flies to be attracted to the trap but eventually I could see them down inside the soapstone container working their way into the trap. Our numbers went down to an occasional fly. I would recommend this product to others to try. It worked for me!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Flies did not seem to be affected by it. In fact, there are more of them post trap than there were before I used it
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have this on my kitchen cupboard to get rid of those little fruit flies. It looks good and works great!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I always get fruit flies when I start bringing in tomatoes and fruit in the late summer. I have been using my own homemade fruit fly traps (a glass or jar with a solution in it), but you end up with a glass on the counter with a bunch of dead fruit flies in it. Not very appetizing. This is much more attractive, less subject to spilling, and it works.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
near kitchen sink and near herb plants
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought this with high hopes it would take care of the flies that come in with my bananas... I have had it in place for two weeks and just last night I saw several fruit flies just hovering around the trap - not going in not really bothering with it at all. However they were interested in my glass of wine. This is precisely why I purchased the product and so far I see no effect at all. Dissappointed!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Love the way these soapstone boxes look. Very pretty and don't look like "bug traps." Seem to be quite effective since our little flies have all but disappeared after 2 weeks having the boxes out.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We eat a lot of fruit and tend to have fruitflies more or less constantly. I believe the numbers of the little critters may have been reduced since i started using the product, but they aren't GONE.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
simple to use and look good
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Bought this for Xmas gifts for friends and they all wanted to give to their friends!!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
doesn't eliminate them completely, but does help reduce the population.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The only thing to remember about this lovely soapstone box is to change the insert when needed, but the fruit flies will remind you.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I love the pretty design and way it blends with the counter. Hard to tell how well it worked - as we still had pests all summer (mild). Perhaps we would have had more problems if we hadn't used the trap? Seems many people had more issues this year than in previous, so we'll keep it out and keep monitoring.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Love this. Bought 2, one for myself and one for my friend. Just put it out yesterday and it's working great. No more little pests around the fruit or trash can! Looks very nice on the counter and you can't tell it's a trap.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product works great! I grow tomatoes so I had a constant problem with fruit flies. Within a few days of putting theses traps out the fruit flies were gone! I haven't seen one since. So glad I got these and would definitely recommend them.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It just doesn't attract fruit flies which is the intended purpose..a waste of money
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Very attractive and effective way to get rid of our annual visit of fruit flies. We've tried all kinds of methods, but this has been the most effective.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The container is attractive so I plan to use it for storing small objects.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have to constantly fish flys out of my glass of wine. I even place it right next to the glass. I have tomatoes ripening on my window sill, same thing and it is getting down to 30 at night.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Clever design and I like the looks of the soapstone. However, the traps - which only contain a weak vinegar solution - are outrageously expensive. The product is effective, but you need to have it in place BEFORE you get fruit flies and give it time to work. Don't expect miracles. If the traps could be rinsed out and refilled for at least 2 or 3 reuses, I would give the product 5 stars.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
cleared up problem quickly
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We have kept the fruit fly traps on the kitchen counter near a fruit basket. Last couple years it really controlled the population, but this year not so well.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The Soapstone box is attractive, but larger than I expected. Most of the fruit flies disappeared from our kitchen, but I see a couple here and there[...]I've only been using it for a couple of weeks and it should be effective for 1 month. Overall, our situation is noticeably better.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
All my summer produce sitting on the counters welcomed fruit flies. After placing the fruit fly trap on the counter, my problem went away.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had swarms of fruit flies and traps I got at local store helped but still had a lot. A few days after I got this one fruit fly population decreased and is almost gone now. I did find the source about the same time, a rotten onion is bin I no longer used but it was dried up by then.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have used this model for many years and have always had success. When I am canning, fruit flies can be such nuisance but they don't seem to proliferate when I have this trap out. It is not particularly noticeable on my counter. I have recommended it to many and even given it as a gift in August!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Put the fruit fly trap on the counter near my counter top composter and the pesky little pests have disappeared. I've recommended this product to all my friends!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We purchased this product at the end of the growing season. Next year will provide a more full picture of how well this product works. For the two weeks that we have been using it, it appears to be working well. We are still harvesting mass quantities of tomatoes and bring them to our kitchen. Thus far, we are not seeing fruit flies, anymore, and that's very encouraging.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have avoided bananas whenever it was "open window" time. After using the fruit fly trap, bananas are back on the menu, minus the fruit flies! The soap stone looks great on my counter top too. I do wish the initial cost wasn't so high but it does work.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The trap works very well. Having the soapstone box makes the trap inconspicuous and is actually attractive (no pun intended!)
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Verdict is still out on this. Seams to be doing the job, but since it is starting to get cool and not as many fresh vegatables sitting on the counter it is hard to say if it is the soap box working or the weather. It is very pretty and nice looking when sitting on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This is an effective product. However, it seems to work most efficiently when placed in the center of the fruit platter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Used two in my mother's kitchen and a MAJOR fruit fly infestation was soon under control!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone box is attractive sitting next to (or in) my fruit bowl on the island, but I honestly cannot tell if the lure is working. I see no evidence of trapped flies. Although, to be honest, I see none flying around either. We only had a few flies from ripe fruit which we removed from the bowl, so I cannot tell if the trap is effective or if we just do not have a problem. In the past, we have found a little white wine is a great lure, so if we have a problem in the future, I will probably just pour a little wine in the bottom of the box to see if that works.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Doesn't really seem to eliminating the nasty little flies - I get to share my breakfast with one every day.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It seemed we were experiencing a fruit fly invasion. After I began usin the trap the flies decreased rapidly and soon it was rare to see one again.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Fruit flies decided to move into our house. We like guests, but not flies! Tried cleaning and not leaving food out anywhere...still had a few. After buying and setting out the trap, our problem has flown away [pun intended].
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soap stone container is pretty but way larger than I expected -- so I had to find a different location in my kitchen then I had planned. But it almost immediately cured my fruit fly problem.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
these are no better than putting out a small bowl of vinegar with a drop of liquid soap! I wanted something that would be effective on the fruit flies in my kitchen, and I didn't like the smell of putting out a dish of vinegar although it does the job extremely well. Unfortunately, these traps are just a plastic container that has a vinegar solution in it. And, I had better luck with a dish of vinegar. Would not buy again.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
While I find that the trap is attractive,easy to use and safe around food and pets, the bottom line is that it just doesn't do the trick. I set it out and hoped for the best,but after two weeks I'd have to say it hasn't done much. Maybe Oregon fruit flies are too tough? Just kidding,if this is the worst thing I ever get from you I'll be just as happy because everything else I ever get is great! Thanks

Really haven't notice a difference.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone was much darker than pictured and the size was a bit larger than I expected, but overall quality and effectiveness are excellent. I would buy again and would give as gifts.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
these traps work great to reduce the fruit flies of summer, and the holder makes it nicer to look at.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I must agree with another reviewer that this product is not worth the money. The box is nice to put perhaps some potpourri in, but as for killing the fruit flies, no. They are attracted to the lure but they do not go into the trap. It's been three days and I have as many fruit flies buzzing around the kitchen as before I got the trap. Don't bother to buy it unless you want the box for something else.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Tried half dozen of home made traps, none very effective. This product ACTUALLY WORKS.The fruit flies were driving my wife and I nuts every summer. Not any more. It takes a few days, but you can see the fruit flies on top of the trap, then they are gone.
GREAT PRODUCT
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I don't seem to have the usual amount of fruit flies which i would have with all the garden vegetables. The product was easy to use. It was bigger than i expected, but nicely made.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I placed this out 1 week prior to having any fruit flies and they are not going to this container. I would not recommend this to anyone unless they want the soapstone container.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We grow vegetables for the farmers' markets and are always washing the produce. We were being take over by fruit flies. Now the kitchen is free of those little flies. Hurray!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was so excited to finally be able to get rid of the fruit flies in the kitchen. It just doesn't work. Period. The flies would gather around, but did not enter the trap - plus it seemed to attract more flies than I ordinarily would have. Very disappointed in this product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
would appreciate clearer instructions, i.e. should plastic container be punctured to open access to fly attractor? or just drop container into soapstone box
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Excellent during the summer months when fruit flies come in with the fresh produce. I had two main problem areas so I bought an additional trap and my fly problem was eliminated within 2 days. I love this product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Pretty design and seems to work well, just larger than I would've liked. We bring in a lot of our own garden veggies, fruits and flowers, and this has really helped eliminate our constant fruit fly problem.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Fruit flies were driving me insane!! Tried the cider vinegar & dish soap method. While it worked modestly, the source was never eradicated.
I could hardly wait to get these traps! The fruit flies were gone within 24 hours!! I WILL keep a supply of traps on hand at all times -they really work!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Attractive sitting on counter. Fruit flies were gone in days.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
A little bigger than I expected, more like a coffee cup than a match box. Either way, I love it. I haven't seen a single fruit fly since the day after I put this out on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Eradicated the mass of fruit flies that came out of my compost pail in less than 24 hours
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have repetedly ordered this trap and holder to control pesk fruit flies in my kitchen. It is safe and easy to empty and refill, and does a complete job.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had a horrible infestation of fruit flies... Mainly due to my apartment complex having lots of banana trees I think... And since I have used the fruit fly trap, it's been an amazing difference!
The craftmanship and good quality materials used for the fly trap cover were most impressive--- it has a bit more weight to it than I expected.
You simply refill with new cartridges and you are good to go!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Got rid of the problem
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had been eyeing this product for several years, but just kept trying to battle the fruit flys surrounding my kitchen compost container. This year I finally purchased the soapstone container with fruit fly traps and cannot believe how well it works. No more nasty little fruit flys flying around my kitchen and the container is attractive as well. I am very pleased that I finally purchased this product.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I keep the fruit fly trap on my kitchen counter near the compost pail. It is so effective that it controls the fruit flies from the bananas that are at the opposite end of the counter, about 5 feet away!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product effectively diminished the fruit fly population taking over our kitchen in a safe way. It can be placed directly in the fruit bowl.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This fruit fly trap is wonderful, You can place it where ever you have fruit and you wont see any fruit flies. I love the soapstone box, it looks very naturl and hides the trap.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was surprised by the size, it is bigger than it looked in the picture. However, it is just the right size. I was also surprised by how lovely the carving in the soapstone is - very classy.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have not seen a fruitfly since I put this in my kitchen. The box is very nice to look at. It is slightly larger than I had expected.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We have an open bowl of kitchen scraps that goes out to the compost each night, and a large fruit bowl. The trap has resulted in a large decrease in fruit flies, although since our compost and bowl are at other ends of the kitchen, I think we'd have better luck with two traps. The soapstone box is fine-looking, but a little large. If I did it again, I'd just buy the traps and save the money. The traps themselves can be tucked behind appliances, bowls, etc.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We use this on an open shelf between our living area and our kitchen. The compost container is right there and we have NO pests; not one!! This product is effective and attractive, both to look at and to the bugs. Wish I'd known about it a year ago!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
have a compost right out the kitchen window...this is a life saver! with the soapstone box it's even nice to look at! took a couple of weeks to really kick in..now I have no more little fly's :)

I have a fruit bowl on my counter that use to attract fruit flies like crazy but not any longer. I have the soapstone box and fruit fly trap on the counter too and no more fruit flies swarming around the fruit bowl.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have a lot of gnats outside, that come in the door every time I do. Thought I had a couple of those gnats that found their way into the kitchen. But after setting the box on the counter, I had a small swarm within a day. Never saw one go into the box, but they slowly disappeared within several days. The gnats at my house are an ongoing battle, since they come in every time the door is opened. But they seem to be minimized by the box.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I use this product in the kitchen on my counter and it looks nice in its beautiful container. There are no fruit flies since I purchased it even when I have fruit on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Every year I dread the fruitflies that get stirred up the minute I grab fruit out of the bowl or open the kitchen garbage can. I was going to try the do it yourself method of sugarwater but didn't want to see dead bugs floating around. I love the look of the soapstone holder and I have only seen one fruitfly so far. Compared with what I used to battle, I will continue to use this item.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
These traps work very well on my kitchen counter. I'm sure they would also work in an office break room, or wherever you keep unrefrigerated fruit stored. The soapstone holder is very pretty -- you'd never know it's holding an insect trap. Disposal is simple and your hands never have to touch anything yucky.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product worked fairly well...We had an unusually large infestation of fruit flies, so it was a daunting task. I feed fruit and veggies to my parrots, everyday whose cages are in an outside porch. The fruit flies are inevitable, but the traps really helped, after a few days of use.I put one under each bird cage.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We haven't had any fruit flies in our area yet.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This fruit fly trap seems to be working great! I have a summer garden and always have lots of produce on my counter top. Of course, I also have lots of fruit flies! I have looked at this trap for years and was skeptical that is would work. But so far, this trap is doing it's job. I would recommend this as a safe and effective way of controlling fruit flies. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for two reasons: price is a little high and trap is a bit larger than expected but is not too obtrusive.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We were having a large fruit fly problem, we were hoping to use a more natural way to get rid of them and ordered this. Didn't seem to attract them very much, in fact, the flys were more likely to perch on the box then go to the trap itself. We could see a few in the liquid, but most we had to kill with a spray.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This didn't seem to have any effect on fruit flies for us. I sure was hoping it would work, but it didn't.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I think it works since there are fewer fruit flies in my kitchen. I have seen many landed on the trap but I am not for certain they enter the trap.
It is a little larget than I thought so finding a space for it where it is effective and not in the way is a bit of a challenge.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables that are organic.
This fruit fly trap worked immediately and effectively at home and at work.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I've used the fruit fly traps for years but only bought the Soapstone box this year. I love how it looks in my kitchen garden window. Very attractive way to use the fruit fly traps.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
After just one day I have no more fruit flies. I put it next to my bananas and it worked. It also looks nice so I don't mind having it sitting on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Box is attractive and a great idea,but fruit flies are ignoring it
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
the soap box disguise is nice, but the fruit trap should last longer.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We bought two, one for the kitchen and one for the sunroom where we grow many plants. The one in the kitchen works very well, since it's right by the compost pot. The one in the sunroom doesn't work as well because it has to cover a very large area. I would recommend only trying to cover an area of limited space. Otherwise, a good thing.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It is great for use in the kitchen. Takes up very little space.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
No fruit flies this year...so far!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Doesn't look out of place n the counter. Seems to be effective. Put one in my office at work to combat an ongoing problem with gnats. Marked reduction in number seen. Looks nice, not like an insect bait.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Friends commented on an "invasion" of fruit flies in my neighborhood this spring. I'm not sure whether it abated on its own or this trap turned the tide, but the pesky critters are gone. Buying the soapstone cover, [...], made it an expensive solution, however, hence the three stars.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have not had this long enough to tell whether the traps really work. The weather has been too cool and not many flies yet. The box itself is beautiful. A bit larger than I had envisioned but substantial in weight so that it won't get brushed aside.

After trying several home methods of getting rid the fruit flies I went with this trap.
We had been unable to get rid of the flies well into the Winter months and needed to really get them out!!!
This product worked immediately. The fruit flies were gone in two days and have not come back. We had MANY flies before using this trap and they were gone! The soapstone box looks nice on the counter too.

No more fruitflies--we love this!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Since we seem to breed fruit flies in our house, we are very hopeful that this will do the trick. So far we haven't had a fruit flies since we put this on the kitchen counter. The real test will come in a couple months when we have more fruit sitting out.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The fruit flies in my kitchen were getting annoying, but this got rid of them pretty quickly. It looks nice on the counter. Just wish I didn't have to keep buying refills.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It was everything I hoped it would be.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I am so happy to be free of pesky fruit flies in my kitchen. For anyone with lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Fruit flies were a constant problem. We would bring them home from the market on the food we purchased. This product promised to eliminate them and within a few days the flies were gone. I would recommend this product.
It works and it is pleasing to the eye, as well.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I used it on the counter near my compost pail and did not see significant results. The presentation is good though. I will keep trying it for awhile.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Perfect to sit beside our compost pail in the kitchen. The soapstone color is a little darker than I had hoped it would be. But the description for the trap before I bought it did say the color could vary from photo on site. But still attractive.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Great for pet birds and other loved animals that enjoy fruit, grains and seeds. Erases those annoying fruit flies and grain moths without poison or smelling home remedies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Great idea. easy to use,looks great.no mess no fuss,and it works!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This holds the plastic vinegar bait trap. It is soapstone & no 2 are alike (I bought 2, one being a gift). Very attractive to have on your kitchen counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Easy to use, punch holes in the product and set in soapstone box. Within days they are gone. Can move from place to place as needed. The box doesn't look like a pesticide and is quite attractive (literally!!!)
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This was a gift for friends to use coming summer.
So i do not know yet how effective it will be.
Time will tell!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Very attractive but a bit larger than we anticipated. I bought these as gifts for family members
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Trap is odor free and attractive. Has eliminated all the fruit flies that were in our house, which seemed to be anywhere there was a drain. It sits in the kitchen by the sink, unobtrusive and out of the way. I highly recommend it.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Looks nice, works great -I keep it in the kitchen.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Don't turn the trap over once you've poked holes in the top or the liquid inside will spill.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The boss has knats and fruit flies, cause he leaves food standing out on his desk. This was a perfect gift for him.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought two of these boxes, one to put near the cat's litter box, and one for the kitchen counter. The fruit fly infestations in both places are entirely gone. I haven't seen a fruit fly since I put them out. Also, these are very attractive in appearance. I will note, however, that these boxes were somewhat larger than I expected. I thought they were going to be smaller.

Near composting
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We had a big problem with fruit flys, so I got this and the problem was eliminated
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It reduced the number of fruit flys but did not eliminate them- even though we had two traps out.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
like to leave the fruit bowl out and this didnot diminish the # of fruit flies.... would return it but used both traps thinking i didnt have enuf take care of the flies... would not buy again ... and though the soapstone container looks nice.... the trap doesnt work

This is the first time I have purchased this product and I am very pleased with my purchase. I have noticed fewer little fruit flies around my house and that was the purpose for this purchase. Yes, I would purchase it again! Thank you.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Easy to use & set up & seems to have handled my fruitfly problem...there WERE occasional 'guests' for a while after I set out my box, but all is well now !!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
the product looks good on our kitchen counter and has reduced some fruit flies but still have some.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This trap is attractive and seemingly safe to use. I still have some flies around, but the number seems to have diminished.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Constant fruit flies all of the time, but within two days all are gone and none have returned.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I like the soapstone box and would recommend this product to anyone needing to get rid of pesky gnats. The box is solid and a little bigger than I thought, but it's not an issue.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
A bit too big for my limited counter space. Looks good and works really well.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I like the looks. It blends in so you can't really tell what it is unless you already know. Fast results!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I've been very disappointed in this. I still have the same number of flies in my basement.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I keep it in the kitchen for the fruitflies. So far, they re all gone. did not realize that bait is liquid, so spilled some at first.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I get these little pests every fall and when I saw the picture in the catolog I decided to try them and they are perfect. They have no odor and they are safe for children and pets. The soapstone container looks like a decoration so no one knows that they are getting rid of bugs.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This is an easy, attractive and pleasant way to get rid of those pesky fruit flies!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was impressed by the ouality of the box. Looks very nice on the counter next to the fruit bowl. No one would ever know it is a bug trap.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Not sure what is in it, but the fruit flies love it. This good-looking trap was a sanity saver during the fruit fly season. I would highly recommend it. It didn't totally eliminate the fruit flies but pretty darn close. I will definitely order more traps next year.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
attractive and functional
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Bother by numerous fruit flies, I found this product to be ineffective. I had just as many flies before as after I opened the product.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Normally I get the fruitfly when my fruit is bad and they go away when I remove the fruit. Well, this year they have been bad and I could not get rid of them, even when all fruit and plants were out of the house. I read the Gardener magazine and saw this and decided to give it a try. Almost immediately the flies were gone. We are talking perhaps an hour!!! I love it and will always keep one in my kitchen from this day on...
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Blends right in on the kitchen counter. Put it right next to the fruit baske.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We had about 5-6 fruit flies that started to become a problem in our kitchen so we purchased this product after reading the reviews. The first day, nothing spectacular happened and I was tempted to return the product. Well, the second day, everything changed - no more fruit flies! We are coming up on a month and I have to say, we haven't seen a fruit fly since placing this on our counter. Very happy with the product!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
So far so good. I discovered this product late in the fruit season but it seemed to work well against my obnoxious fruitfly collection. It sits on my counter next to the compost container.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was skeptical at first because I want instant gratification. I get fruit fly infestation around the end of the year with the harvest and have a really hard time getting rid of them. I tried this and was impressed. It did not work over night... but I had fruit flies all over the house as a result of my tomato harvest. They were centered in the kitchen. The system did not work immediately but in one-two weeks the fruit flies were gone. I was disappointed at first because it didn't work right away.... I was considering sending the system back but with time, it worked and that's what important. I am glad I was patient and gave it time to work. It's pretty and all that like the reviewers say... but I wanted an end to the fruit flies in my face... and with patience... I got it.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I've had problems with fruit flys for the past year, even in the winter, and the very next day after I put this product out they were gone. Amazing product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had gotten a large # of fruit flies -- and they were increasing by the day. This works. It doesn't work IMMEDIATELY!. It will take a while to get them all --- but it eventually does get them all. I noticed a notable reduction after 24-48 hours. After 2-3 weeks, I didn't see any. Sometimes, I would move the container around if I saw one or 2 hanging about in a different place.
The soapstone container is very attractive--- able to sit on a counter without being offensive. And is small enuf to tuck "here or there".
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have had the product in my kitchen over 3 weeks and the flies still prefer doing the backstroke in my coffee till they drown. The soapstone is nice,which is why I give it an average rating.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Love the soapstone container - larger than I expected, but that is fine. Placed it where the fruits and vegs are stored and appears to be attracting the fruit flys. YEA!!!
Thanks for a great product.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought one for my mother and myself. These fruit fly traps really work and look nice sitting on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Worked like a charm--got rid of the fruit flies in the kitchen area. Then I brought it down to the family room and it worked there too. No more fruit flies!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have alot of indoor plants that are outside for most of the summer. Even when repotted before being brought in for the winter, fruit flies and other pests will hatch shortly after. These really work well to keep bugs under control and it is not unsightly.
The inserts do seem to lose their bug-fighting capacity before the month is over, but not by that much.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Got rid of fruitflies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product not only works but is attractive sitting on my counter. Don't expect immediate success, however. It takes a couple of days to attract all the fruit flies - and don't lift the lid to see if it works. Flies will escape.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It is nice looking sitting on the counter of our kitchen. I think it worked 'ok' overall, however a few bugs wouldn't go inside. I ended up killing them by hand. It is a bit pricey.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Have it on my kitchen counter--was overrun by fruit flies until I put this out. Now they are gone!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It is a good looking device and it is quite effective in the kitchen i.e. a large area.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
People are catching on to this product. I even saw them used last summer in the fruit section of the grocery store I shop at.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Easy to use and works great!!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This little gadget is on the kitchen counter by the fruit basket. I'll be ordering another one to put in the rec room, as some drinks seem to attract these pesky little critters.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This item worked okay and the soapstone is attractive. However, I could get the same results by putting some beer into a glass, which seems to attract fruit flies just as well as this item. I would recommend this item primarily because the soapstone is a heck of a lot more attractive than the beer glass!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The fruit flies around my compost pail disappeared immediately after I put the Fruit Fly Trap out.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It was extremely easy to use and the display box truly is nice!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
did not attract the flies that seem to come from my fruits. Also, leaks if tilted.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was skeptical that this would actually control those little fruit flies that I have every year when harvesting my tomatoes.
Well, I was pleasently suprised, when within 24 hours, there were far fewer of those pests flying around my kitchen.
I'm a believer!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Fruit flies plagued me, my plants and my produce all year - this little number seems to do the trick. I'm only through my first trap, and it's started to get cold, so the true test will be Spring - but for now, all's well that seems to be well!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
had no effect at all on the fruit flies, but the box is nice to look at
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This thing takes up space about the size of a grapefruit, my impression was that it was much smaller
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I've tried just about everything to get rid of fruit flies - honey, pieces of fruit - everything I could think of but nothing worked. The first and second day after I set this up, I didn't think it was working but by the third day - no more fruit flies!!! It doesn't give off any odor and it looks good on my kitchen counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I found the traps work best directly in the fruit bowl, so I didn't really need the actual soap stone dish though it is very attractive. I used the dish in the bathroom because kids throw food in the trash.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I think the fruit-flies are laughing at me for spending so much money.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I put this on the counter in the kitchen adjacent to the ripening bowl. I think its working because there are less fruit flies but this is that time of year when they flourish so its hard to tell if the item is really making a huge difference. The disposable insert is good for thirty days and likely by then I won't need it again until spring when I can't find it and I 'll buy another. Because those little red-eyed tyrants are just that infuriating and I'll take any reasonable measure to minimize their aggravation. Its vinegar-based trap so its safe around kids and other living, growing things and makes sense and isn't obtrusive. Good product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I plan to purchase more
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Looks very nice, but larger than I thought, not unobtrusive and I was lucky that I had the space to put it somewhere close to where it needed to be. Check your space first before buying.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
After reading the reviews I was somewhat concerned about the product. I too sat and watched the flies. They didn't appear to go into the trap, just fly around it. However, the flies in my house have GREATLY reduced. I may find one here or there, but not like the problem I had before. My conclusion is that it must be working!
I must say I was a little confused about how the display/product worked. I want to mention that the box is only decorative. If you wanted to use the fly trap without the decrotive box you could. The trap is white with three hole in the top. If you do not mind the look, then I would save your money and not get the decorative box.
Overall, very pleased.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
At the end of every summer, our neighborhood is crawling with fruit flies. Not sure why, but everyone around us also suffers like we do. We didn't know what to do, so we thought we would try these traps and see how they would help.
After removing all signs of anything I thought the flies would enjoy, and putting the trap out on the counter, we have seen a reduction in the number of flies. It has not totally gotten rid of the flies, but we are much more comfortable. We are mainly seeing them in different parts of the house still (which is confusing me, because the only food we have is in the kitchen and all of our garbage bins are covered).
I would recommend them. It does take a few days to start noticing a reduction (at least that has been our experience).
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I placed the product on the kitchen counter right next to the fruit and vegetables. It fit easily into a corner. I was initially excited because it was both attractive and low profile. However, it didn't do the job. The fruit flies continued to show up in that area and preferred the fresh produce to the lure inside the container.
Oh well. I intend to keep the soapstone container, but I'll do some research and probably fill it with some other ingredient.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I keep it in my kitchen near the sink and the compost pail. It takes a couple of days to get the fruit flies and if more come in the house, well here you go again. I expected it to work a little faster.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Had fruit flies all over in our new condo, didn't know what to do about them. This trap works, will always keep it on my kitchen counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Used product in my kitchen and it works!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I am considering them as gifts to anyone that has fruit on the counter in a bowl.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was hoping this would keep the fruit fly problem in check, and it did for 1 week, then they came back with a vengeance! They say the inserts last 1 month - but mine stopped working after 8 days.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I tried the vinegar thing while I was waiting for delivery and caught no bugs. I didn't see a lot of difference when it first arrived but many vegetables had been brought in from the garden and covered every surface. Once we go through winter, I want to see how this works starting from no bugs.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Having a major issue with tiny fruit flies in my house (as I did last year this time), I was so excited to find this product and was so hopeful that it would solve my problem without having to resort to the nasty sticky fly strips intended for a barn (as I had to last year). The soapstone box is beautiful and well crafted, but I didn't need it except to hold the fly traps. The bait traps appear safe and effecient, but I haven't appreciated any decline in the number of pests I'm experiencing. Sad to say I have had to go back to the fly strips to get an effectual elimination of my bugs.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought two because some of the reviews mentioned limited coverage area. I have only needed on so now I have one as a gift!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This works for about a month, as advertised. I needed it most mid-summer and it was there for me.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Don't Even Know its there.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product is an attractive cover-up for the fruit fly traps. It does not detract from other decorative objects in the home - and serves a useful purpose at the same time.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought this right before a 10 day vacation. Decided to wait until I returned to put it out thinking that 10 days without food available would eliminate my pests. Had 2 flys remaining when I returned so put out the trap. Within hours, I had hundreds of fruit flys. I am still trying to kill them 2 weeks later.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Did not work as well as I had hoped. This year the number of fruit flies is unbelievable and they are everywhere. This may be more effective under normal conditions.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Looks good in the kitchen, blends in with other things on the counter and best of all, it works!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
To date, we like the appearance of the soapstone container as we have soapstone counters and sink
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I was over run with fruit flies.Everything I tried ,before the Soapstone box,didn't work. The box worked quite well. It took a few days to get them under control. Will use them again next fruit fly season
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We used two traps in the kitchen: One on the island counter where we sometime prep food and the other on the sink and stove counter near our basket of potatoes,onions and squash. Fruit flies are still present so we cover any prepped food with a kitchen towel. While we've seen them in and around the trap, they are not zoning in on it exclusively. They are still quite a bother but, grudgingly, perhaps not as much if we didn't have the traps at all.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I called once to complain after 1 week of use. Was told to make the holes bigger and assured that it does work. I am still not sure. I did question the picture on the box that depicks the trap sitting in the fruit bowl. It didn't make sence but I even tried that.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
SImply put, it doesn't work
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
About a week after setting up the trap, we have no more fruit flies. Great that there is nothing to "do" other than put the bait in the container and put it on the counter. If you're on a budget, I think you could use the trap without the decorative container.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Not only is the container attractive but haven't seen one of those pesty fruit flies since putting it out!!!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Easy to place in the kitchen - works well. Got rid of all those pesky fruit flies that hang around the fruit bowl.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Growing a garden of our own, not wanting to use the AC much (only when really necessary) - we prefer open windows with fresh air, we get fruitflies. Especially when I purchase bananas and leave them on the counter. I purchased these two products and both my husband & I are pleased with the results. Fruit flies are next to non-existant in the home now, and the soapstone box covers the fruitfly trap and actually matches our counters and cupboards - so it does not stand out like a sore thumb.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone box is sturdy and attractive. The traps were a little ineffectual. I have head one can just use apple cider vinegar in a cup with seran wrap and holes just as effectively.
I recommend the box but not the traps.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Attractive product, but not very effective. Disappointing.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Fruit flies were taking over our home, and we didn't know where they were coming from. As soon as we put the soapbox fruitfly catcher near our garbage and one on the counter near the sink, the bugs disappeared. It looks nice and is easy to use.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I looked at this product for a couple years, then decided with this year's harvest, we needed something to take care of the tiny flying insects. This did the trick and without invading our space negatively by smell or any other way. Just innocently on the counter looking pretty. Thanks for a great product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I keep this on the kitchen counter because I have so much garden produce sitting out until I can put up the vegetables on the weekend. It helps to keep this on the same counter as the produce. One thing each summer that has always bothered me is fruit flies in the house from the tomatoes on the counter. This has totally eliminated that problem and the extra money I paid for the soapstone box makes me feel good about having that on the kitchen counter!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
very easy to use, just take out of box and put on counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had a terrible fruit fly problem this year. I tried to make "home made" traps with wine, etc... but nothing really took care of it. This trap works wonders. No more pesty little bugs flying around my kitchen!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I am confused by the positive reviews. This product did not do a single thing to alleviate the cluster of fruit flies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I bought one for myself as well as for a friend who had trouble with fruit flies. We both agreed that it was very effective in keeping those pests away. I saw maybe 2-3 all seasons. I definitely am going to order refills for next year.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This was the best. Haven't seen a fruit fly all summer. We've always been overwhelmed by these things and I've tried various products but none were as pain free and so so easy to use. We hope you never never remove this from your inventory
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I still have fruit flies, maybe a smaller population but they are still around- ugh!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Innocuous presence that effectively rids the environment of fruit flys! Not even a basket of ripening tomatoes or open wine bottle attracted the fruit flys because NONE are left after installing our traps!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I live between two homes and sometime forget the fruit on the cabinet. These Fruit Fly Traps are just as advertised. On the day I received the Traps I arrived at my home to find an invasion of Flys - I opened my package, placed the Fly Traps and in moments the Fruit Flys were gone! Also the soap stone box is very decorative! Now I plan to buy another set for my 2nd house.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It works good, looks good and has no odor. My only problem was when my husband was checking it out he flipped it over and some stuff leaked out. Silly man.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I purchased the soapstone box which looks as good as it works. I love that you cannot tell that it is a death trap for those pesky little fruit flies! I wish I had found this wonderful product sooner!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The functional soapstone box is lovely and doesn't look like a bug box. However, why is the box so large for such a tiny bug that it is meant to attract? I'm assuming that the bug trap is luring the bugs since I haven't seen them.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We had an awful fruit fly problem in the kitchen this summer, which I suspect was exacerbated by the rainy summer we had. Within one day of installing this trap near the fruit basket, and starting to use the the new compost bucket (closed lid) I'd ordered at the same time, the problem was solved. Thank you!!!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Lots of fruit flies from all the freshly picked produce. Gone in 24 hours. Granddaughter loves to see it in window. Beautiful soap stone
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Put it in kitchen near fruit bowl, maybe that's the wrong place? Fruit flies will come as long as it's summer and the fruit is sitting there. Doesn't seem to make a huge difference, but I do think it looks nice so I don't mind having it there. It's worth a try.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone box was bigger than I expected but an attractive way to hide the trap. New fruit flies have appeared since we got this product but they were also gone in a few days.

After the problems I had last year I vowed I would buy it this year and give it a try. WOW.
I can leave fruit out and it takes care of the flies that want to hang around. I go to the farmers market a lot and have fruits and vegetables all over the place. No fruit flies though! Thank you. My friends are using it now too.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
After one month I still have fruit flys. I could have saved money by placing vinegar in a bowl and covering it with plastic wrap and poking holes in it. It was a waste of money.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone box looks great anywhere I placed it and it conceals the fruit fly traps which took care of the problem immediately.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I set this fruit fly trap near my plate of fresh fruit on my kitchen table. It is attractive and it works well to keep the fruit flies away during the summer. I purchased my first last year and bought another this year for my cottage.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Nothing is more satisfying than when a product does what it is supposed to do. The fruit fly trap works great!! I like having fruit displayed in a bowl on the counter in my kitchen. Fruit flies were always a problem. Not any more!!! The topping on the cake is the beautiful soapstone container that can sit on my counter and look great!!
I had put off buying it for a couple years. I wish I had gotten it sooner. Thanks for a great product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
just put it on the counter near the fruit and that's it....fruit flies begone.
arrived just in time after I had picked strawberies, blueberries and bought some bananas. So glad something works.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I don't have any fruit flys so it must be working

It's easy to move anywhere-I keep mine on the kitchen counter between the area of the sink and the fruit basket.

Nice looking way to get rid of those pesty fruit flies. It looks like a decoration and not a flytrap!

I hate fruit flies, especially when they land in my best lemon aide or on my plate, but no more fruit flies. No matter how long my fresh fruit is on the counter, no more flies!

It blends in nicely with the rest of the stuff on my counter. You don't know it kills fruit flies.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I use the product next to my compost bowl, where I put my scraps before i take them outside to the compost pile. It has almost eliminated all gnats that were quite bothersome before. In addition, it is an attractive way to handle an unpleasant job. Thanks.

I've been using the fruit fly trap for three weeks on my kitchen counter, near my fruit bowl and it seems to be working well. I have seen an occasional pest flying around, but not nearly what I'd expect to see at this time of year. I appreciate the portability of the product, as I can move it as needed to different areas of my counter tops depending on where I'm keeping the produce. I am very pleased with this product.

Box is attractive and seems to be keeping those pesky fruit flies away. I saw this at a friend's house, and hers seems to work well, too.

This is a great way to trap those pesky fruit flys! It works so well, that I bought two for myself and one for my sister in law. It's safe and effective! I wish there was a way to select the stone color when ordering [...]

We had a terrible fruit-fly infestation, because we keep lots of fresh fruit and tomatoes on our kitchen table. But within a couple of days of setting the trap, the flies all but disappeared. Now I see an occasional lonely fruit fly about once a week -- and then he, too, disappears. Also, the soapstone box nicely conceals the business end of the trap, and looks fine on our table.

This fly trap holder is great for the kitchen. It does not stand out and hides with its function is.

I was first concerned that the product was ineffective. It took approximately 5 to 7 days to eliminate the swarms of fruit flies. However, since that time we have been virtually fruit fly free!

Last summer I started back on my successful diet that requires 5-6 1-cup servings of fruits and vegetables every day. I fought fruit flies even through the winter. The soapstone dish is attractive and within 3 days of opening the trap, I realized that my home was fruit fly free. I still have no fruit flies even around the over-ripe bananas on my counter. No messy strips. No cleanup on the counters. Love it!

This product was easy to use and worked quickly. Because the trap is inside a covered container it's attractive too.

It doesn't attract the fruit flys at all. If anything, it seems to make more come into the fold... a waste of money.

The fruit fly traps work in any area, are orderless and with the soapstone box it is very attractive.

With summer comes fruit flies and they seemingly arrive by the hundreds overnight. This year I decided to give these a try and I am so glad I did. within 36 hours every single fly was gone and they haven't returned. I now can leave fruit on the counter to ripen and not worry about the return of the flies.

Who needs fruit flys flying near you or around your head at work or at home. With these small attractive soapstone fly traps, its a thing of the past and I no longer have to spray my house/office plants with an insecticide.

During the summer months my kitchen is full of fresh fruit and vegetables. I believe good food and a healthy environment go hand in hand. I hate to admit that fruit flies have been a problem in my kitchen, but no more. This cute little trap REALLY WORKS! It looks great on my countertop and blends in with the kitchen. I have tried home remedies in the past that didn't work as well and looked like a science project gone bad. I don't know if my results are common, but I have not seen a single fruit fly this summer. This product is definitely a must have.

The thing I liked most is that it doesn't look like a pest trap. It blends perfect with my granite counter tops. Best of all, no more fruit flies.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Took the fruit fly traps and soapstone box to our beach house where we often keep baskets of fresh fruit from the local farmers' market out on the counter or on tabletops. The traps effectively controlled the warm-weather fruit flies -- there is NO smell, as with other traps we've tried -- and the soapstone box is decorative. No one would know it's true purpose on the countertop. It's great!

This is a very attractive item to hide the Fruit Fly traps in. No one notice that it is a trap. Looks like it belongs on my cabinet top and does a great job of controling Fruit Flys.

We were about to have international guests stay with us at our home for 2 weeks. We had fly paper hanging everywhere- even above our dining table. (eewww!) We knew we had to control flies with something less noticeable. Your fly traps were the perfect solution. There have been no flies buzzing around since we put them out, and nobody guessed that they're fly traps! Great!

Did not attract fruit flies
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This trap is very effective and is decorative enough to put out on the kitchen counter. It does take several days to lure in all the fruit flies, but it does work.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Millions of fruit flies at the composter outside, but not a single one in the house near the kitchen waste receptacle. Its only a few months old, so that kept me from 5 stars.
