Supplier product information ↗THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Bring your own apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Open, fill and place — then keep the surrounding kitchen clean.
Open the trap to access the base. Have your own apple cider vinegar and liquid dish soap ready before filling.
Two traps are included. Vinegar, dish soap, gel and lure packets are not included.
Pour apple cider vinegar into the base, keeping it less than half full, and add a few drops of liquid dish soap. Repeat for the second trap.
Add your own bait. There is no packet to dissolve and no water-activation step.
Close the trap securely. Set it upright on a stable surface near fruit fly activity, away from food preparation. Check it regularly.
Reset the source, too. Remove overripe produce and food residues. Empty, clean and refill the traps when needed, following the supplied care directions.
Use your own apple cider vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Keep the trap less than half full. Follow any supplied directions for opening, closing and cleaning.
Keep filled traps out of reach of children and pets and away from food preparation. Avoid spills. Traps catch adult fruit flies; removing their breeding sources is essential.

Common fruit flies are small, often tan or brown, and usually have red eyes. They gather near fermenting produce and liquids. Location alone is not enough to identify them. If you are unsure, compare a close-up photo with a university Extension identification resource.

Add your own apple cider vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Keep each trap less than half full. The vinegar attracts adult fruit flies and the soap helps them sink. No gel or packet is supplied, and plain water is not the bait.
Traps catch adult fruit flies. Removing breeding sources is essential: check produce, sticky spills, recycling and damp cleaning cloths. Keep observing for renewed activity.
They may be fungus gnats, which need a soil and moisture check. Fruit fly traps are not designed to solve a fungus-gnat problem. Review watering and drainage, and seek plant-care advice if activity continues.
Keep traps and bait out of reach of children and pets. Set traps upright, away from food preparation, and follow the supplied care directions. Do not consume the bait mixture.
