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!

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 :)
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This will be aor fourth year to use this product. It does what it says it does within reason and is priced right.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
[1 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
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.

Looks nice and works too!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The trap is pretty but did not work. I have had it on my counter for 3 weeks and it hasn't killed/caught one single fly. Unfortunate as I was hoping it would work as opposed to more evasive chemicals and treatments.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We had so much trouble with fruit flies and couldn't get rid of them. We bought this and within 3-5 days they were completely gone.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This is placed by my worst pest area, the kitchen sink. It's pretty and works great. I saw a significant reduction in flies in just a very few days.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Very nice soapstone container and it works
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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:

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.

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 !!

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:
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.

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.

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.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.

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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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 [...]
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This fly trap holder is great for the kitchen. It does not stand out and hides with its function is.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product was easy to use and worked quickly. Because the trap is inside a covered container it's attractive too.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It doesn't attract the fruit flys at all. If anything, it seems to make more come into the fold... a waste of money.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The fruit fly traps work in any area, are orderless and with the soapstone box it is very attractive.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Easy to use
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I had fruit flies everywhere before I bought this. Within a day or so of putting it on the counter they were gone.

these little contraptions really work well! we have 2 of them in our kitchen....one near the composter and one near the fruit bowl. it has really helped to reduce the amount of fruit flies in our house to almost nothing. and it looks pretty while doing it's job :)
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!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
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.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The box looks nice in the widow and the smell was ok, but thats about all it does. Vinegar and liqiud dish soap, did a greater job at getting rid of the bugs. The smell was strong at first but was not offensive.

This product certainly has curtailed the fruit flies circling in my kitchen. I was surprised at how large the box and trap were- thought they would be smaller. Bought one for myself and another for a friend and she had the dame comment.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
When my mother returned from her winter home in Florida, she brought me back one of her outdoor plants in a beautiful pot, so I needed to keep it in doors till it got warmer out. The plant unfortunately came with lots of fruit flys. With in days my whole house was full of fruit flys. I purchased the fruit fly trap along with the soapstone box and with in just a few days I noticed the fruit flys were all gone. I love this product and would recomend it very highly. The soapstone box looks great just sitting out on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It hides the fruit fly traps and looks very attractive.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have been using this product for years & it really does work. I have a large kitchen so use 2 at a time. The box is attractive & discrete. Will definately keep buying!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
There was no possible way I could have made it through another summer of composting in the kitchen, were it not for this highly effective product. Once I placed the trap on the counter next to the compost pail w/cover, I have yet to see another fruit fly.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The soapstone dish is beautiful. The plastic bait-inserts has a mild vinegar smell. Unfortunately, the fruit flies hand out just inside the top and will fly out as soon as you touch it. So, it doesn't kill them, just attract them. After about 4 days, the smell is reduced and no more flies are attracted to it. :(
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Had a house full of fruit flies that came from nowhere one day. Put out the traps and they were all gone in 24 hrs.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I would forewarn people that liquid will leak if turned sideways. I didn't know it was a liquid.
So far, it appears to be working. Will know for sure once the weather gets warmer
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This trap works great. We use it in our ice cream business to keep fruit flies away from our bananas.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I think the refill insert has cider vinegar in it, which is effective for attracting and capturing fruit flies. The vinegar can probably be "topped off", and the refill insert replaced only when it has reached capacity. The soapstone box is larger than i had imagined it, but attractive. I have not seen a single fruit fly since it arrived.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Finally a way to control those darn fruit flys without chemicals or looking ugly. No smell, no clean up, easy to use, and looks nice doing it. Can't get any better than that. Refills are a bit expensive, and needed every 30 days, but it's very much worth it.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Love the looks of the box and the easy to use instructions.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
When I recieved the soapstone box with the fruit fly traps I was surprised at their size. They were much bigger than I had expected, but that is not a problem, that just means that it will trap more fruit flys. The fruit flys are not out here yet so I do not know how well they actually work. However, I am looking forward to seeing how well they do.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The container is attractive. I find this works in smaller spaces like the kitchen but in the office it was not as effective (large conference room).

Purchased one for the kitchen, where a bowl full of fruit regulary rests on the counter. The fruit fly population was completely eliminated in that room; significantly reduced in adjacent hallway and dining room. I will continue to use this product.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I started using the product early to prevent the abundance of fruit flies and so far it is working. I have a small kitchen and dining area and the saopstone box is an attractive way to house the traps. It is very easy to set up and there are no unplesant odors.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I loved this. I have seedlings in my kitchen right now, as I am getting ready for my garden, which has added to my fruit fly problems. Within an hour of setting up my traps I had none at all, anywhere!!! I have already recomended them to mutliple friends. I live in a very wet area and bugs are a problem and this got rid of them--it was GREAT, a real life saver.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I found that I needed to get the soapstone container so that curious visitors wouldn't pick up the trap and turn it upside down. When they did that, the liquid bait ran out of the hole on the top. However, the soapstone container is much nicer looking on my kitchen counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
Looks great on my kitchen counter, is safe and easy!
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This sits right next to my compost crock. It worked immediately; I haven't seen a fruit fly since the day it got unpacked. Although it is larger than I anticipated, it looks quite pretty in my blue kitchen, and does not use an excessive amount of space.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I received this fruit fly trap as a gift and found it to be very effective both in my home and at our farm fruit sales barn. When my mother complained of fruit flies in her kitchen, I didn't hesitate a moment to give her a gift of this attractive soap stone dish with easily disposed of traps.

It stays out on my kitchen counter
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
We keep a compost bin and love our fruit, and so fruit flies seemed to be something we just had to endure until I found these traps (from another source). The problem was, the traps are lightweight and not very attractive, even though they are very effective against fruit flies. So, when I ran out of traps (they last for about three months each), I ordered from Gardener's because they had the soapstone container. Now the trap doesn't get shoved all over the counter accidentally, and it's quite lovely. It doesn't seem to keep the flies from being attracted to the trap, either. It should work equally well at the office coffee service or anywhere fruit flies are a bother.

Cleared up most of the flys. still have a few strays show up here and there but most are gone. Larger than expected but looks better than most traps.An open bottle of cheap red wine works just as well and doesnt look as good but is easier to obtain.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
My daughter had a terrible problem with those pesky black gnats or fruit flies. Since she has a new baby in her house she didn't want to use chemicals to kill them and the fly strips she had helped but didn't stop them. After using these for about a week her problem is almost nil. She also uses the refills without the soapstone box in her other rooms. I would definitely recommend this product either with or without the soapstone box.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I have two of these soapstone vessels. The "color" of stone is chosen by the supplier, but neither has disappointed. Both are beautiful. The triangle design fits everywhere. The soapstone is so lovely that it does not need to be hidden just because it catches gnats. This is a remarkable product. If you don't need to catch fruitflies with the product insert, then use this vessel for office supplies or seeds or absolutely anything.

Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It has not completely removed the fruit flies, I often see them sitting on the trap inside and if the container gets bumped, they come swarming out.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I like this product. It does the job of warding off fruit flies and it is also attractive. I have it set out on my kitchen counter next to the fruit bowl. It is also important to me that it is non toxic. My only surprise was that it is larger than I expected, although, maybe the size of the trap needs to be that large.

The soapstone box looks nice on the counter and the flies are attracted by the smell, but they do not go all the way into the trap. I made sure that I opened the holes with the provided, but the flies aren't trapped. They sit on the trap.

I used the traps on my kitchen counter. Now that I know this product works, I can get ahead of the population next year when I start having garden produce in the house.

Attractive on the kitchen counter. And it does work. Attracts fruit flies and traps them.

I think that the refills are too expensive for the activation period. Other than that I like mine. It's not 100% effective but it has helped.

I have had this out next to my kitchen compost for about 3 weeks and there is absolutely no reduction in the amount of fruit flies.

After experiencing an invasion of fruit flies and trying several remedies to no avail, I tried these fruit fly traps. Within a couple days I was fruit fly free.

Takes care of a problem and looks great, too.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It works wonderfully, but, it could maybe be a little smaller so that it wouldn't be so noticable - however, it does have an attractive soapstone box!

I got this box for my kitchen when it was inundated with fruit flies. The first day I put it out, the flies landed on it, but not in it. In about two days, there were fewer and fewer hanging around. They were all pretty much gone within four days, even though the source (a bucket for kitchen waste that doesn't always get emptied every night) is still around. The soapstone container looks nice too.

This product just did not work that well for me. I did better with a little vineager and dish washing liquid in a shallow container.

I was hopeful that this would work so bought a second one as a gift but it hasn't worked. The product has not proved to do what was advertised.

Looks good on the kitchen counter while holding pest control for gnats.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
The only advantage of the soapstone box is looks. It's more attractive than a homemade trap. Both traps will attract fruit flies. The flies don't always enter the traps. Sometimes they just hang out by both traps.
Because fruit flies multiply from the eggs they lay, I needed to bomb the house. In the end, I bombed 2-3 times in a 2 week period to finally rid the house of fruit flies.
I spent a lot of money for a product that looked good & was natural; but it didn't work.

As a family who enjoys a lot of fruit, this is a wonderful device. Seems no matter how hard we tried, we could not escape having fruit flys. This product has completed removed the fruit flys. In addition, the soap stone container is attractive and no one would ever guess it's purpose. Thanks!

I use this fruit fly trap in my kitchen to keep the fruit flies at bay. However, they prefer the fruit to the vinegar in this trap. Maybe they should have grape juice or beer in the trap to make it more effective.

Use to control flies in our camper, good product.

This produst is pretty. But it did nothing to help get rid of fruit flys. Dont worth my money or time.

Ever since I moved to my new house two years ago Fruit Flies have been a major problem in my Kitchen from August to October. The traps have really helped cut the problem and the soapstone holder is a nice way to have them on the counter.

This product does work and lower the number of fruit flies. No odor and in it's little container it looks good in the kitchen.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product works great, but if you have a large area to cover you need to order more than one. That was the only problem I saw. They are simple to use, do not smell and anyone that came to my home did not know what they were for.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
I put this near my sink when I was invaded by fruit flies this summer. I resisted getting the product because of the cost but found that it worked so well, I was glad to have made the purchase.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
For the price, I expected the traps to cover the area of my entire kitchen (10'x20'). If I want to keep fruit flies away, I have to position this trap between the fruit bowl and my composter. Otherwise, the flies begin to swirl.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
This product is the only thing I've found to get rid of fruit flies. I was overrun with them, put out the trap, and within a day they were completely gone! The soapstone container is attractive and completely hides the trap, so I can leave it on the counter.
Comments about Soapstone Box with Two Fruit Fly Traps:
It works well for about a week then the flies just hang around on the trap but stop going in.
