  • Suitable for tabletop or hanging
  • Includes two weeks worth of non-toxic lure
  • Additional are also available

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

We receved the Traps on a timely manner.
When we open the container they did not enclosed the packet to be used in the trap.
Fortunately I had ordered an extra box of 3 and
we were ok. When I ordered another product from
your company I complained about the shortage
and you very kindly sent me another packed.
The traps worked ok for a couple of days and we
thought we had won the war. However the devils
returned in full force again. We have set up the traps again and we are still at war.
We will keep you posted.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

Fruit flies trapped in this item after one week amounted to less than ten. A fly swatter was much more efficient.
I intend to rework the trap by installing a small LED lamp and making a decorative fixture out of it.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

First, it looked like one that someone had returned because there was residue inside the jar...oh well. It looks very cheaply made as well (China). I didn't catch a single bug in it after a week.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

Have placed it both above the kitchen sink on a shelf and right beside the fruit bowl. Bought the trap powder and it worked, but a pain to mix up first. Tried balsamic vinegar and it worked like a charm, too! We had a crazy amount of fruit flies this summer and fall, so I am very glad we found such a great trap!

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

I place it on the ledge above my kitchen sink and it is like a magnet for fruit flies..It is attractive and effective.Very soon I didn't see any fruit flies..and unless I look under it I cannot see the insects inside the jar...I like the color as it matches my kitchen...I am sure another color might be nice for those with different color schemes..Other than that I recommend this product highly.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

Like everyone else at this time of year have fruit flies. I carefully researched several products and reading the reviews on this one I bought it. I am sooo happy with it. It looks pretty on the counter BUT it does the job. Within days there was less flying around bothering my grapes. This really works. You will not be sorry.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

I have used several of these for 3 years, inside and outside the house. We have yellow jackets, wasps and flys intermittently and my husband is allergic to the yellow jackets. I bought the jars elsewhere but I'm happy to find somewhere to buy more. We don't buy replaceable traps - we mix sugar water, and just pour it in. Takes some practice but ultimately fine. One of our jars is clear and we just color water per kids request for fun. We hang them from trees in back yard, deck and one in kitchen. They look lovely and no one knows what they are. We did replace the corks outside with rubber ones after 1st year. It's sunny here most of the year and they were destroyed. No trouble with the rubber. They were less than $1 at hardware store.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

After 5 weeks of using vinegar, beer, foggers and sprays, I used your fruit fly trap. This is the most efficient trap system-effective even after 4 weeks since putting it out and still is catching bugs. Nice looking container and I highly recommend it for people plagued by fruit flies. As I continue to bring in garden produce those bugs enter as well. The trap takes care of them. Worth the money spent!

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

It's small, pretty and really works! I looked all over town for one that was "cute" and could not find one. This really fits the bill. I suppose, if asked to come up with a con, I could ask for different color combinations, but this one even works with my kitchen's color scheme.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

Kind of messy to fill -too shallow of a "moat" to hold the amount of liquid recommended. Needs to be very close to the fly source, which can't happen in my tiny kitchen.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

Very easy to use just be careful not spill. The bait solution can be a sticky mess. On the first night of use we collected quite a few pests. We hung it right over our fruit bowl. In about a week most of the fruit flies were gone.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

I have a composter and a garden and therefore, I have fruit flies. I felt I had tried everything that didn't look horribly offensive and didn't smell to get rid of them. I bought the glass fruit fly trap because it looked cute and I would happily leave it on my counter. It rocks! I put it out and it worked like a vacuum. 20 fruit flies were inside, caught within 30 minutes. I recommend this to anyone with a fruit fly issue.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

This really gathers the fruit flies and am glad I found something that works. I am disappointed that when I went to wipe it off that the paint came off too. Now it is a very plain jar sitting on my sink. The smell of the solution is slighly offensive.

I've used the soapstone box and trap for fruit flies, but this cute glass jar looks better and works better. Very satisfying to see all the trapped flies in the jar (you have to look closely to see them).

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

This looks great by my kitchen sink and wasn't too hard to fill, although I did have to pay attention to make sure I didn't spill any of the contents. When I checked the next morning, the trap had already snared a fruit fly or two. Since last year they drove us buggy (!), I'm hopeful that this trap will solve the problem this year.

Comments about Glass Fruit Fly Trap:

I wish the replacement lures came in a larger pack. Having to change the lure every 10-14 days makes it so 3 replacements do not last very long. [...]I would love to be able to get 6 or more in one pack at at time.

We had fruit flies this summer, as usual, and this little item did the trick. It is the right size and looks good in our kitchen. Now I have to find where to get additional packets of the powder that goes inside. I've shown it to friends and highly recommended it.
