Amazing! Could not be any happier. Walmart never has their kind in stock, so I ordered this here because for over a week I've had over a dozen darn fruit flys all over. Got these two days ago, very simple to use, squirted the included liquid into the cup, easy! I set it out that night and yesterday I had at least 8 or more trapped and dead, and even one bug that wasn't a fruit fly! I haven't seen any others since! Couldn't believe it worked so good and so quick!! And I have 5 more to this pack, which will last me a long time. Update 8/21/15 After just three days or so I now count about 22-24 total dead bugs in this little trap, two of which are larger non fruit fly type and I never realized I had that many flys in the house to begin with. This trap must use the force or something, it's a fruit fly black hole. I don't understand the viewers who said it didn't work or that they needed a different attractant than the one supplied... They must have genetically engineered robotic nanotechnology fruit flys or something. But for my normal non ninja trained fruit flys, they didn't stand a chance against these traps. Edit 12/5/15 I suddenly had a fruit fly over run of my house recently and grabbed another of these traps, but this time it did absolutely nothing... I then deployed a second and my last one of this six pack kit with same nil results. After almost two days I now have fruit flys all over. Both of these traps are close to each other and near the epicenter of the fly problem but one has only 2 flys in it the other now has maybe 7 and I have a couple dozen fruit flys flying around the area. These worked beyond belief the first few times but now are not working at all. Yet it's the same bottle of attractant that was used the first times. I can only guess maybe different variants of fly are attracted to different scents etc. Maybe this last round is a hybrid fly. I now have ordered a plug in light and glue trap style in hopes to solve my problem. I also ordered another 6 pack of these because of how well they did the first few times. Once these latest flys are gone I'll go back to these traps for the next time to try again.

UPDATE: THEY CHANGED product. The RED liquid that now comes prefilled in each trap is USELESS. I have not caught ONE, NOT ONE SINGLE GNAT in these since this change. Before I would catch so many all you would see was BLACK BUGS in the liquid... now they don't even acknowledge it. UNTIL THEY GO BACK, IF EVER, TO THE OLD PRODUCT - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. OLD REVIEW when it was clear liquid in bottle and you filled traps yourself... These work great. This year my home became infested with these little gnats in late summer. I put one of these in every major area of the house and am 100% satisfied with these. They trapped a lot of those little annoying things. The only fruit we have on the counter is banana's and I keep them in one of those green bags. The only issue is that the people I live with always forget to wrap the bag back up so it's not wide open. This when combined with the dropping in temperature outside is really bringing the gnats into the house every time a door is open. I've even noticed them coming in thru the screen openings when a window is opened. See photo. This is the 2nd trap I used in the entry room, when they come in from outside. The first one I threw away after 20 days because it was so full of gnats I could barely see thru them when holding up to the light like I did on the 2nd one for this photo.

I bought a bag of apples from Trader Joe's and left out the bag; didn't refrigerate. I ate one apple and just left the bag out, closed but after beginning to suffer from a plague of biblical proportions I noticed the apple bag was filled with infestation and threw it out. I foolishly thought that would solve the problem but things got worse. They dive bomb my face and seem to eat my face, even fly into my nostrils. My face cloths, laid out on the sink, damp, were smothered in them and they were on the walls, doors, just everywhere and in every room. I'm old and never had to deal with this before. So I started to research. I made traps using saran wrap with holes poked with my tooth/ gums scraper, a pointy sharp instrument. Covered the containers with the Saran Wrap with the holes poked after applying a rubber band to seal the wrap around the rim of the container. The most successful was a container with leftover shrimp salad sauce from Zabar's: a mayo with sugar sauce, to which I added organic apple cider vinegar Bragg brand from Whole Foods and a squirt or two of face cleanser. One trap had a pear core with the vinegar and soap. This was also very successful. So I think adding some sugar might be a good idea or any fruit. Poking the holes was tricky since I have two sizes of these flies, one a bit larger than the other. Not sure whether they are both fruit flies but they both act the same. One advantage of the BEAPCO traps is they have a great opening which should allow all my flies in easily, and few out. I expect that poking the holes in the saran wrap is more effective with holes only in the center area. I put holes everywhere and they try to get out around the edges so keeping the holes in the center area might make it more likely for them to get in and not out. Another advantage of BEAPCO is that they can tip or fall and only a little splashes out, while if my traps tip or fall it would make a catastrophic mess. A disadvantage of BEAPCO is that you can't easily add stuff like fruit bits into BEAPCO since it doesn't open. I started making my own traps three days ago. I have five of my own now and the fruit fly population is less but still vast, and very offensive. My BEAPCO order arrived today and I put out two of BEAPCO, one with plain Apple Cider Vinegar, BRAGG ORGANIC from Whole Foods. One with their lure. Both are attracting the flies and in a few days I'll compare the results of each. I positioned them next to each other and I will set more of them soon in a similar way. It may take a long time for me to win this war but I'm prepared to fight to the end. Update: The inner hole on BEAPCO isn't as narrow as I thought. So you can add bits of fruit or fruit juice and I'd recommend that for increased effectiveness. I ended up setting seven of the BEAPCO and five larger ones I'd previously made. I lost one BEAPCO when the tray tipped and one empty trap disappeared. I set half with their enclosed lure and half with the apple cider vinegar and some with a bit of fruit. My apartment was so badly effected the problem isn't solved yet but it is very greatly improved. The traps are working with the plain enclosed lure as well as with the Bragg Organic apple cider vinegar. The later is only slightly more effective. I will update after a longer time when the differences in success may be more easy to see. Both have a lot of corpses in them but I find it hard to count them. I'm assuming one will fill up first. It's been five days since I started fighting back. There had been many coating walls and door in the bathroom for example and now few but there are still quite a few crawling on the outside of the traps and my jars and bottles. Remarkably less than before. I understand to keep traps out for a long time after they seem to be gone because of their gestation period of ten days, but I have to assume that when I think they are gone they may not be really gone, so I intend to wait at least a month after they seem to be gone before removing the traps. I had a little trouble pouring the cider into the BEAPCO traps. A bubble forms, some spills. I have some tiny funnels somewhere and that would be a good solution for pouring. Also squeezing the traps a bit helps the cider to get in there. The bottle BEAPCO provides is good for this so one might add some regular apple cider vinegar to their bottle, too. I think that would be a successful mix. I assume they have some soap mixed with theirs which helps the flies sink to the bottom, and drown sooner. I'd consider mixing in some fruit juice or sugar into their bottle too. Their bottle has a narrow thin tip that fits well into the traps and doesn't spill. If you really feel their mixture isn't as good as theirs, throw out theirs and use their bottle for your own mixture. I figured out the box finally. The front seems to suggest you do add fruit to the mix and their pictures with the layers inside their traps depicts their traps with added fruit! But their directions don't even mention fruit. I think that's because of translation from the French, perhaps? Over a two week period I put out several traps, three in the kitchen, three in the bathroom and four in the bedroom dining room living room area where I spend most of my time. It took more than two weeks to resolve the problem but I believe the great war has been won. I will leave the traps out for another month to be sure they don't reinfest. It's my opinion that Apple Cider Vinegar with a bit of fruit or sugar, and a bit of liquid soap, is equally effective as the commercial traps sold in this package. Cover a container with saran wrap, seal with a rubber band, and poke very small holes in the center area of the saran wrap after sealing with a rubber band. These traps are equally effective to home made, smaller, less intrusive and they are effective. I don't think that they are less effective than regular commercial Apple Cider vinegar but they are nicer to have around. The important thing is all these methods do work; you just have to wait long enough. With a severe infestation like mine, it takes a few weeks for the problem to seem gone but make sure you keep the traps out for another few weeks minimum, so the hatched eggs can also be trapped. Now I have yet another question. I do have some moths. Does anyone have a solution for getting rid of moths? Why is the picture above different from what we get? The traps they depict have layers of stuff in them and the solution is a different shaped bottle. Seems quite odd...

In my garage I guess you could say I have a severe case of fruit flies (I find/ki|| 40+ a day) so I bought these as the first traps to try. They're very good at attracting the bugs, but actually trapping them is another thing... anytime I go check on the traps, there's easily 10-20 bugs AROUND the traps, not necessarily IN them. Now, yes, the traps have caught plenty of flies, but considering how many I have in that room, and how many just chill on the surrounding table top, makes me question as to why there's not more in them. I had all 3 of these traps in the picture sat next to each other for about 4 days. For some reason the flies favored 1 over the other 2... once I realized these traps attract them but don't always trap them, I set up a cup with soap, water, & a little bit of vinegar next to it. Wouldn't ya know, in 12 hours it trapped 18 of those suckers! So if you're thinking of buying these traps, just know this- yes, they do work, but you might need to add a little something next to it to get better results. I'll keep using these traps for sure. I would definitely buy them again. It was just kind of annoying that I had to set up my own rig next to it because of the difference in attraction/trapping. I love how this pack came in 6, so I get a long time use out of 1 pack. It's fairly cheap too. Just put a piece of tape over the hole at the top until I'm ready to dump 'em & throw 'em away. Easy disposal. Pretty happy.

The included bait only catches fruit flies if there is nothing else around. A few drops of fruit juice will attract them far better and otherwise they'll still prefer to sit even on the outside of closed garbage bags or trash cans over going in traps. I even put a trap in the trash can but I still caught nothing until I didn't throw away any yogurt cups for 2 days. It makes it useless around my fruit eating animals that I can't just not feed since there is food out every evening and morning. With better bait the traps do catch fruit flies in the kitchen but the fact they are disposable and really difficult to try to refill makes them also pretty useless. Unless we refill all 6 of them 2-3x a day for several days they are not going to get ahead of the flies after wasting time waiting on these to work. If you only occasionally have a few fruit flies certain times of they year and can remove anything else that attracts them or enhance the bait then they do catch fruit flies. They don't catch anywhere near all fruit flies and a few will make dozens in a couple days so for fly problems that last all or most of the year these are not worth the cost to keep replacing instead of getting ones that easily refill with better bait.

The short version of my review (TLDR): Pardon my, French, but I am highly amused over how much better my shop vac was at this job than a commercial fruit fly product for kicking fruit fly booty. This product has, unfortunately, ruined my expectations of any future use of commercial fruit fly trap products. The long version of my review I'll be honest, I've used home remedies with mixed success in the past but I don't get enough fruit fly infestations to become an expert (I've had them twice now over an 8 year time period). In addition to that, I have little patience waiting for the flies to die or fly into a trap so my primary method of eradicating fruit flies is far faster and more effective, using my Ridgid 5HP 4 Gallon Portable shop vac. It's definitely more fun that way too! This product was listed as #1 Best Seller, with 3.5 stars average over 2,542 customer reviews. Can't go wrong right? I expect commercial products to work out of the box, unfortunately, I've had these out for over 24 hours with 5-10 flies in the house, one in each room, and they have yet to capture any. I'm not sure if I got a bad product, or if the liquid bait is manufactured to be less effective now, but it just doesn't work so I would have given it only 1 star, except that I noted that other reviewers had to use home remedies with this trap system. At least the trap system itself is economical and designed to work (I think). In the end, I ended up finishing the job I started on day 1 while waiting for this thing to arrive using a shop vac. On day 1, 30 minutes later, 150-200 flies dead. Nothing was moving after I was done. The next day, a few flies showed up, I figured I would let them live until the product arrived to see if it worked, but unfortunately it didn't after leaving the traps out for over 24 hours, I then killed the remaining 5-10 with the shop vac in 5 minutes. If you have access to a shop vac you own yourself, or borrow from a friend, or rent from Home Depot, it will definitely work and it'll be a lot more fun than waiting to see if a trap works. Cost wise this fruit fly trap product is $14.95, for $13 I can rent a shop vac from Home Depot for 4 hours to do the same job faster, or you can buy one cheaper from Home Depot for $79.97. I won't mention the other useful things the shop vac can do, that this product obviously can't do including it's own job. Sorry, but not sorry for this review. I want my money back.

I've had fruit fly problems in the past, but always managed to deal with them by removing the most obvious sources of the problem (refrigerating all the produce, taking out trash and recycling, deep-cleaning all surfaces, etc.). Not this time. I'd gone from one or two flies to, like, a billion, in the space of a couple days, in spite of having removed anything they could possibly be eating. After reading the reviews, I ordered these traps and went ahead and started setting homemade cider vinegar traps while I waited. 36 hours later when the package arrived, I was almost in tears because my homemade version was doing little to nothing and the flies were worse than ever. I couldn't do anything in my kitchen without them swarming around my face. I was skeptical because the traps were smaller and flimsier-looking than I expected, but I could see how the design would be effective. I immediately set up 2 traps in my kitchen, where I'd seen the bulk of the flies, and one in my bathroom. For the sake of experimentation I put cider vinegar with a little dish soap in one of the kitchen traps instead of the included mix. Two hours later, the kitchen flies seemed to be hiding. The cider vinegar trap had caught 1 fly and the pre-mix trap in the kitchen had caught 3 or 4. The one in the bathroom had caught 25 and had another 15 swarming around the trap. A little over 24 hours later, the pre-mix kitchen trap has caught about 10 (the cider vinegar trap has only caught a couple, maybe I used too much soap?) and the trap in the bathroom has caught 50-75. Either the bathroom sink was actually the culprit rather than anything in the kitchen, or I just scared them all away while I was deep cleaning the kitchen and boiling water to run down all my drains. So what I'm taking away from this is that in order to get the most out of these traps, you need to place them in multiple locations and see what works. (You also need to eliminate any and all sources of food and places for them to breed, because the traps only kill the adults.) I fully agree with other reviewers's suggestions about refilling the traps, because the shape of the traps is really unique and effective, but $15 is a lot to keep paying for new ones. I ordered some disposable medicine droppers to make rinsing and refilling a little less tedious and gross.

I must have had a fruit fly hatching in my house. They were everywhere! I didn't even have any fruit, food or anything sitting out. Those buggers were so bad they were constantly in my face, even in bed! I bought these traps and they worked wonders! I filled all of them and put one in each room. Within a few days the traps were full and my house was bug free. Easy clean up too, just toss the filled traps in the trash. Update... I tried the “new beapco formula” and it does not work like the old formula. The above review was for the old formula. Don’t waste your money on the new and improved ones. I’ve removed stars accordingly. What did seem to work pretty well for me was taking a large sour cream or cottage cheese container, cleaning it out and then adding a little bit of fresh fruits or veggies and allow it to rot inside the container within my sink. I bought those yellow fruit fly stickys and taped them all around the top of the container with the fruit inside. When the fruit flys tried to get to the little bit of rotting fruit, they would get stuck on those sticky pads. Those yellow stickys worked better than the beapco traps. A bunch of those sticky traps come in a pack. Once they have too many flies on it I toss it away and put up a new one. That cleared my house from fruit flies much faster than anything else that was offered for sale.

Not working at all, Don’t waste your money

These traps in my home didnt seem to trap any fruit flys. But after that, they were great. They are still out but l will wait to see if this continues. These last for a month, so theres no reason to consider throwing them out now. I have seen, today a lot of tinyer flies so lm thinkin they have just hatched. They are workin well now and lm goin to buy more, because l think l will need them, if more flies are hatching. This is a new thing to me. Im just tryin to do what seems sensible, to get rid of these little blighters...... Will update later if l can. When l was lookin on the internet i found a list that said these are considered outhere, to be the number one traps to help in this situation. It seemed to be a scientific discussion about the best 6 traps and this was number one. Cant remember the name of the site, but it was not linked to the makers of this trap. Hope it helps for others too. Dont be disappointed if nothing is trapped for a day or two. It got better after that for me and our household.

Caught many fruit flies within days of having the traps out

Muy contento

El nombre en español no tiene sentido. Es una trampa para moscas de la fruta y la verdad no me ha funcionado.
