Amazing!

Okay
2 of 5 stars
By Jen in Pensacola, FL on 06/03/2010

Worked well for the first few weeks. Then it stopped working completely.

Expert Response  Expert response:

These traps do a great job of catching fruit flies, but the key to stopping fly activity is to find the source.  If you do not get rid of the source of the problem, then these traps will only work for a short time.  The traps will only attract for 30 days, then you need to put new ones out.  The key however is to find the source of the problem.  It could be rotting food behind something, or the flies could be something else, like drain flies or fungus gnats.

You may have drain flies, which are often confused with fruit flies. You can check your drains by placing an angled glue board with the sticky side down over drains in the area where you are finding the flies. Our Drain Fly Kit contains glue boards, InVade Bio Drain Gel, and On Time Aerosol for complete drain fly monitoring and treatment: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/drain-fly-kit-p-1052.html. This product page also contains an excellent step-by-step video demonstrating how to use the products in the kit.

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry that you did not receive the results you hoped from the Vector traps. It is possible that you may have been dealing with a different type of fly other than fruit flies. Be sure, also, that you have removed the plastic film covering the attractant before placing traps out in the target area. We are glad that you were able to locate the source of your fly problem. Please let us know if you have further questions; we are happy to assist you anytime. We appreciate your comments and your business!

Expert Response  Expert response:

If the flies you see are flying right by the traps, then you probably don't have fruit flies.  You most likely have drain flies, or phorid flies.  Not fruit flies.  It is important to identify exactly what you are dealing with so you choose the proper treatment method.

Vinegar in a fancy case
1 of 5 stars
By Aaron in San Antonio on 07/22/2014

Yea, the flies come and hang around it but that's it. I opened it up and it had killed maybe 1 fruit fly. Save your money and just use your own vinegar.

Smells, but functional
4 of 5 stars
By Guy in New Market, MD on 10/27/2011

The smell is maybe not something you'd want in your kitchen, but it did catch more than a few fruit flies, which is, I guess, all that matters.
