Raid Essentials Fruit Fly Trap, Made with Essential Oils, Child and Pet Safe, 5.4 oz

What an absolute waste of money. The smell is ridiculous and it caught 1 fruit fly! The rest are flying in the room laughing at the product

It does stink, but this is the 5th trap ive bought that seems to be luring them in like crazy . Others take weeks and then barely work or dnt work at all

These fruit fly traps are easy to set up and start catching gnats almost immediately, thanks to the sweet scent of the bait. I like that they use essential oils and are safe to use around my kitchen, and the small design blends in near the fruit bowl. They don't trap every last fly, but they noticeably reduce the population over the span of a couple of days. The traps dry out and need replacing every few weeks, yet they offer a convenient, non toxic way to keep pesky flies at bay.

It worked, I suppose? I still have some fruit flies buzzing around, and even in a clean, closed room with three of these, they weren’t completely effective. I really didn’t care for the fact that it was just a wide-open jar. Most products like this have a topper with holes for the flies to go through, but this was just open with nothing on top. Did it catch some of my flies? Yes, it caught a bunch. Did it solve my problem? Not completely. Did it work any better than the little red Apple product? No, and I think the product really suffers from not having a cover on it. Usually, those help to trap whatever flies have scented the bait but haven’t yet drowned. Most of them can’t fly back out once they’ve flown in. This doesn’t have that. It was a bit of a flop for me, but it’s still useful.

I've bought a variety of different bug removal products and this is the one I had the least confidence in. Reviews didn't seem bad but the negative outweighed the positive in my head and I nervously made the purchase. Let me tell you, I was wrong 100x over. The first week I set it up I noticed it attracting them in droves, sitting around the rim but not going in. I was scared here but I carried on. Not too long later I peered in when passing by and it had caught TONS. I have had it open a bit past the 21 days it recommended, and while the strong smell has vanished, it still seems to attract them even now. It is a bit gross with seeing clumps of the little dead things at the bottom, so I wouldn't recommend keeping it out for long. I don't receive guests so it was no inconvenience for me to keep this in the problem areas indefinitely. Next to my sink for the drain buggers, and right on my dining table. I'm keeping it open for a few days more and will definitely be buying another when I'm next able! Maybe two, but that might be a bit much haha!
