09/21/25
Terro Fruit Fly Trap, manufactured by Woodstream, is a fast-acting trap that uses a long-lasting liquid bait to lure fruit flies inside. Once inside, fruit flies are unable to escape, leading to a cessation of breeding and control of the fruit fly population.
This product is specifically designed to appear as an apple, blend into your home's décor, and not raise suspicion of fruit flies. As fruit-dependent pests, fruit flies will travel toward the scented trap and ingest the bait formulated with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 0.08%, leading to death within 24 hours.
Terro Fruit Fly Trap is an attractive food-based liquid lure that does not stain. Its built-in windows allow you to monitor the product with little handling.

How to Use
- Step 1: Determine the areas where fruit flies are most active and remove competing food sources by storing and cleaning surrounding areas of food residue. Enclose all trashcans to seclude competing food sources further.
- Step 2: Place traps upright on a solid surface and remove the cap from the lure.
- Step 3: Insert the lure bottle tip into the center hole of the trap. Empty half of the bottle into each trap.
- Step 4: Place the traps where fruit flies have been seen and where they will not easily be disturbed or tipped.
- Step 5: Throw away the traps once 45 days have passed after the first application.
