Pest-Stop Fruit Fly Trap

Not sure if it worked

This flytrap does work as fruit flies were attracted to the trap and ended up in the liquid. However, this did not happen in the quantities I had hoped for. It is easy enough to hang up and has no unpleasant smell so I would consider trying again in a different location to see if that were more successful.

Great idea, careful how you pierce the thing - back of the sachet is weaker than the front so careful you dont go right through! Smells stronger than other similar items, but doesnt seem to actually be catching any flies unfortunately

I pierced the hole in the centre as instructed and it's been next to the main source of fruit flies in my room for over 2 weeks and it hasn't trapped any of them. It's basically just vinegar in a plastic lemon anyway so it's probably pretty easy to make a DIY version of this if you wanted to

We "lost" a bag of potatoes in the pantry a few weeks ago. The fruit flies found them and we had a biblical plague of the little beggars who then moved into the fruit bowl for a winter break. This thing caught most of them. It contains a thick vinegar like substance. They love it! Unfortunately for them, they love it so much they drown in it. Must be a lovely way to go if you are a fruit fly - completely organic. You make a hole in the top, place it next to something like your fruit bowl where the flies hang out and that's it. We caught hundreds and you can see the walls again now. Recommended. Doesn't work for bluebottles and normal sized flies, only tiny fruit flies...UPDATE : there are a few of things you should note about this fly trap.1 - it only works for fruit flies. These are the tiny flies that breed in fruit and vinegar. It won't work for larger flies or blackfly, white flies, green flies, etc2 - if it's not working, you might need to make the hole in the top a bit bigger.3 - it works best if you put it near the source of infestation like the fruit bowl4 - make sure you find the source of the infestation and get rid of it - the mouldy fruit or vegetables. Otherwise you don't break the life cycle.

You do need to make the hole bigger, we didn’t seem to catch any!! However the flys have now gone !? I’m unsure if Thays from this trap OR my excessive cleaning, swotting and general hinching!!

Well after a gazillion fruit flies driving me insane, I ventured to find a trap or device to rid me of these annoying insects... Received this in good time, and followed the instructions and for the first day or so didn't see any results. Then from then on the word must have got out and the little critters were dive-bombing it and well it soon became a graveyard. Will certainly get some more for future use

Note that the hole you make should be a bit wider than you think. At first, this was attracting the flies, but none of them were going in. Once I'd widened the hole a bit, they all started dropping in like, well...
