Common Use Areas:

Traps are most effective when placed near breeding sites. Place behind or under kitchen counters, sinks, dishwashers, food, near fruits and vegetables, and any other location where fruit is stored. TERRO Fruit Fly Trap is designed to lure adult fruit flies, using the special food-based liquid lure. Flies that enter the trap can’t escape to continue breeding.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

How do the TERRO Fruit Fly Traps work to control fruit fly invasions?

All stages of a fruit fly infestation depend on moist organic debris to complete the fruit fly life cycle. The non-toxic, food based liquid in the TERRO Fruit Fly Trap lures adult flies into the traps. Once the flies enter the trap, they cannot escape to continue breeding and multiplying.

The insects swarming around my house aren’t attracted to the TERRO Fruit Fly Trap I just purchased. Can you explain why?

Often a gnat, drain fly or other type of nuisance fly invasion is mistaken for a fruit fly invasion. As their name suggest, fruit flies are attracted to fruit - they’re small, winged insects typically found around ripe produce in your kitchen, near garbage cans and open bottles of wine.

To determine what type of infestation you’re dealing with, simply place a TERRO Fruit Fly trap near the area where the insects are swarming. If the flies aren’t attracted to the lure, you’re most likely not dealing with a fruit fly invasion.
