I have tried: Zevo Flying Insect Traps (RECOMMEND) Husaco Store 2 Flying Insect Traps & 2 Cartridges - Compatible with ZEVOM364A Refill Katchy Flying Insect Trap Indoor Terro Fruit Fly Traps - (RECOMMEND -this product) I tried several products for my recent gnat/fruit fly/super tiny demons from hell infestation. I really wanted to like some, but basically overall the ZEVO was superior. Thankfully I bought that one initially, but did not realize how severe my infestation got (as I was away from home for abit). Zevo pretty immediately and quickly toned down the flying creatures, and I noticed quickly the trap filling up with more and more. A good week in it was basically all covered up. I ended up getting a total of 4 Zevo traps, in certain areas I knew would fly to at night. Night is very good at getting them. I think it helps having no other lights on either. I will mention I also got Terro fly trap, and they are just lil tiny apple looking containers that you fill with some nasty vinegar mixture. I fill it up just a small amount, because honestly that is enough and I can keep refilling it. One I had to dump because of so many dead bodies and I refilled it up. I put one of those in my fridge just incase. And some near the other traps to try to attract them faster to the Zevo's light of death. The Katchy and offbrand zevo aka Husaco store traps, just basically didn't trap as many.... Like say a week went by and I could count the flies it was a handful. They just weren't as amazing/fast for me. I had such a drastic reduction with 2 Zevo's and now that I got 4 going, I think they might finally be eradicated. (With the Terro assists. I liked putting them by the sinks. These Terro were my first go to to remove gnats. Like banana's? Yeah, these were good and enough for that. Read more

I'm totally amazed at how effective the Terro Fruit Fly Trap is. My kitchen was, for a lack of words, infested. No matter what I did, the little buggers returned in numbers. The one thing I found was you have to have a little patience - it doesn't take long. Set up is easy and not messy. Depending on how bad your problem, you will notice their curiosity to start off slow. Don't fret, give the little apple shaped container to do its thing. After a day or so, more and more buggers came to visit. They checked in but not out - almost like Hotel California for fruit flies. As of right now, I can honestly say my problem has been resolved. Totally worth the money - totally effective. Highly recommended. Read more

These have been somewhat effective. While I have seen less of these pests when I've got this active, I've also seen them literally just hangout on top of the apple. It's like it can see its dead incestuous disgusting family in the goo and it actually takes it as a warning to not proceed. Perhaps I should stop reusing the same trap... Once this stuff runs out, the pests start right back up again. Not as dense as before, but it is noticeable. I'd rather have this than nothing, that's for sure. I wish this came with way more of the liquid. I feel like I have too many apples and not enough liquid. This seller doesn't appear to sell the liquid in bulk, you just have to buy more traps, which is annoying. I also prefer filling it way more than it suggests because if I fill it less, then I have to replace it more frequently. Ergo, providing more of the liquid would be far more useful. This does emit a faint smell, but I've found that it only smells when I'm directly above it. Make sure to tell your guests or family that this thing can spill if you pick it up wrong. I'd ideally rate this maybe 3.5 stars. It works well enough to keep the pests down, but it's not a permanent solution and they don't always fall for the trap. Update: I've changed my mind. Solid 4 stars. I noticed German roach nymphs wading dead in the liquid. I've been keeping these near my sink because that's where the fruit flies hang out. It appears as though the roaches, while trying to get a drink in the sink, find the fruit fly trap and want in. I have a small infestation of roaches in my place, so if they don't fall for one trap, I'm glad they'll fall for another. I don't like having roach traps on my counter due to the chemicals used, so this much-less-poisonous-to-humans trap is a great alternative. Read more

Best product to catch fruit flies. I had some 30-40 flies all over my kitchen and almost all just vanished overnight. I found them dead inside the trap in the morning. I tried zevo first but it is not so successful in catching fruit flies because they didnβt go to the light, instead went for bananas. After this trap none survived. There were some that were left. I killed them using zapper racket the next day. Finally i got rid of them. Read more

If the flies are mostly crawling on the top but rarely going into the trap, there's a good chance they're phorid flies, not fruit flies. They look very similar, but phorid flies are more attracted to water and decay than fruit flies. As recommended by some other reviewers, I added yellow sticky flowers to the top of the trap (see photo) and that has worked much better for me than the apples alone. My infestation is not fully gone yet, but there are definitely fewer flies than when I was using UV traps only. I have heard that powdered liver is a better attractant than vinegar for phorid flies, so I'm going to experiment with that next. Read more
