Best trap/bait I've tried to date
Over the past two years, I have tried a lot of different fruit fly traps. I've tried Do It Yourself traps and a handful of DIY baits. I've tried fly paper that sticks to windows. I have tried other traps made by different companies.This has worked best, hands down.What works:1. The bait is potent and by potent...the smell is off the charts. Think...outside trash bin in the hottest part of summer.2. There is enough bait to adequately bait two traps at least twice.3. The sticky paper does a decent job at catching the fruit flies that fly around the trap but never enter it.4. There is plenty of sticky paper (the green leaves) to refill each trap a few times. In short- this isn't a one and done set.What needs a little improvement1. The sticky paper is hit and miss with just how sticky it is. Also, if you put it in the kitchen - keep it far away from water, soap, and grease. If you put it in your bathroom, similar rules. The paper does lose adhesiveness if it comes in contact with water and/or cleaners. It is a real bummer to watch a fruit fly walk over the leaf and fly away.2. You can't buy refill bait without buying new traps. This isn't great for the environment. Make my own bait, you say? Once again...this stuff is potent and it works.3. I've seen fruit flies escape the trap.Would I buy it again? YES - I have and I will continue to use this product because it is best I've found.Would I recommend it to a friend? YES - and I have.It is not perfect but it does workNow - take it from someone who lives behind a house filled with fruit trees and has to battle fruit flies for most of the year....the best traps in the world can only do so much. Once you have fruit flies in your home, you MUST find their breeding ground and do what you have to do to make it unfriendly to bred there. This can include a massive bleach treatment. You must plug all drains, cover all sources of water (including toilets) and make sure there is no standing water. You may have to treat the soil in your plant containers. You may have to clean the breeding ground multiple times a day. All best traps in the world won't solve an infestation if you don't find and destroy their breeding ground. You also have to take away their food source.You might also want to invest in some flying insect spray if you have swarms. Zevo is outstanding for fruit flies but it will stink up a small space for several minutes.And don't live in a house that borders a home filled with fruit trees.

Didn’t work for me
Edit 10/08/22This company has emailed me weekly though Amazon asking me to remove this review. I had to block the email to stop the emails. Do yourself a favor and don’t order from this company. Changing rating from 3 stars to 1 due to this.Product didn’t work for me. No flies got stuck to sticky traps or inside the apple, seems as though the holes are too small. I have the comparable terro brand and it works a lot better. Holes in the top of the apple are larger and have successfully caught a lot of fruit flies with it. I have given this product 3 stars because the solution it comes with seems to be more effective than the terro brand.

Didn't Work
All of reviews I saw said it worked, maybe I wasn't infested enough for it to attract the gnats, after leaving out for 10 days, 2 gnats on 1 trap, 0 on the other, these gnats are so annoying, in our food, flying in our faces and hair, so yes we were infested, it just didn't work, best thing is Amazon return policy is great and the seller's, so I'm getting my money back. That's why I love shopping at Amazon!

They work!
Update: 8.30.2022My initial reaction was that they didn't work based on what little I saw on the sticky leaf and in the container after a week. The solution that comes with it isn't very good, so after that first week, I got results when I used apple cider vinegar + sugar + dish soap. After 3wks when I went to rinse them to throw them out, there were many in each of the traps. So I rinsed them and put my fresh solution in and set them back out. I will continue to use them, but with my solution that works.

These work really well.
I've had these for a while and ran out of the leaves. I came to see if they sold refill leaves (apparently they may in October of 2022 according to the question section), but I decided to leave a review while I'm here. Plenty of flies got caught in the bottom and on the green leaves. It's effective. You gotta remember to refill the liquid of course.I have had a couple of accidents touching the green leaves (they are very sticky) and once had a paper towel hit one and it stuck to the towel and spilled the bait on the counter. I should have put it in another spot or been more careful.I find I have to use a paper towel to get the green stem out when I want to change the leaves because those things are sticky. So I put 4 out of 5 stars on the ease of use. But they work really well which is why I want more leaves...

2 stars for 2 fruit flies, swatting them a paper plate is more effective.
The bottle leaked in the zip lock bag when it was shipped and leaked in the shipping bag so it stunk. Smelt like old socks with a hint of molasses which only briefly intrigues the fruit flies I’m dealing with. Why are the vent holes so large? It’s a community drinking pool gathering for those little buggers and if the attractant even worked, I’d end up with more fruit flies but I guess I’m lucky in that way they mostly stayed away from it. The curved base made no functional sense, the “apple” was easy to knock over and you end up with the stickiness everywhere when trying to put the leaf in top. Regarding the leaf, the adhesive really did not stick to any bug. There was one that did get caught, the other bug I had to press down for it to get permastuck. This device would probably be better for fragrances and the leaf could be a flat cotton felt with a longer stem to help with dispersing scent and evaporation. I wouldn’t be surprised if I see the description change to repurpose these things. Pretty bad Apple in all aspects as a fruit fly trap. Keep your money, it’s not worth it.

Thank you Customer Service!
These little apples are much cuter than a mason jar but did not work for me. But… Bugbane reached out to me after my original review wanting to make things right. I so appreciated their professional response! I guess it is possible that I had the unfortunate moment of a defective gnat trap, but the company offered a full refund. I don’t know if another would have worked, but I do know I can trust this company to stand behind their merchandise!
