Aunt Fannie's FlyPunch Fruit Fly Trap for Indoor and Kitchen Use, Ready to Use, Made with Plant Based Ingredients, Safe Near Food, Each Bottle Lasts Up to 30 Days, Pack of 2

This stuff works great. We had a fruit fly explosion in our kitchen a month or so ago. I couldn’t figure out the source, we had never had them so bad before. They were so attracted to whatever is in this bottle, it’s kinda gross seeing them all dead in the bottom…but they became less and less of a hoard and now they’re gone. It took about 2 small bottles to get them out of the house. Now I keep a fresh bottle under the sink in case we get raided again. Really worked for me.

The media could not be loaded. I’m not usually one to leave reviews on things I buy, but if any product deserves one, it’s Aunt Fannie’s fruit fly trap. I would personally thank Aunt Fannie herself if I could because this fruit fly trap she cooked up is the only thing that has liberated me from these tiny, sweet tooth- having insects year after year. My only regret is not writing this review much much sooner!For context, every year for the past 3 years the flies make their return like clockwork. It starts out with only a few, but I have trouble with executive functioning so my house can become… less than spotless. (Ironically, this review is brought to you by me procrastinating cleaning my house). And despite my better judgement, I slack off on disposing of their favorite snacks and give them prime real estate to move in and start a family of, ohhh I don’t know, hundreds? Thousands? Idk but there’s enough of them where this is their home now and I am merely a guest.When I finally reach my wits’ end, I call upon Amazon to deliver to me this magical concoction Aunt Fannie has blessed us with. And every year without fail, I’m able to evict (from earth, permanently) the minuscule trespassers. Aunt Fannie needs to keep her fly trap recipe locked up tighter than Mr. Krabs’ keeps the Krabby Patty secret formula, because it is perfection. 10/10, 5 stars, no notes.Others may have qualms about the pungent smell the traps give off, but I honestly only really smell them right when I first open them or if I’m in like a 3 foot radius of them. If you have ever cooked with apple cider vinegar, you’ll fare just fine.I mean really, would you actually prefer to give up eliminating the fruit flies from your house just to avoid taking a single big whiff of some ACV? Seriously, unless my sniffer’s gone bad, you’ll be fine if you put it literally anywhere else besides 10 inches from your face on your nightstand.I could just be lucky, but I have yet to receive them anything but bone dry, no leaks. Even if it did come leaky, unless they’re completely out of juice, why not just dry it off and wash your hands, no? Ah well, different strokes for different folks after all.Anyways, Aunt Fannie, you are now an honorary part of my family now and forever for saving me from the wrath of the fruit flies with your traps. In all seriousness, this product has been miles more effective than any other fruit fly elimination product, I can’t recommend it enough (clearly).Well, I guess the review’s over now and I have to get back to cleaning (ugh). I wish you good luck in your quest for victory, fellow fruit fly sufferers. Aunt Fannie and her fruit fly traps are your ticket to the finish line!

FRUIT FLY SEASON IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND I'M DETERMINED TO PREVENT LAST SUMMER'S INFESTATION. Update : I contacted the company multiple ways and multiple times.Amazon and the company totally ignored my legitimate complaint. Obviously they don't care about their customers dissatisfaction. It's not about the money - it's about blatant misrepresentation and unethical behavior displayed by both companies. I couldn't even get Amazon to include the "frequently returned" box on the item's page.I bought three bottles of auntie's product on Amazon 6 days ago to replace my DIY liquid attractant of appl cider vinegar +brown sugar +dish detergent.It's been 5 days and can confirm the other negative reviews that the product CAN'T contain the same liquid attractant - the fruit flies feed on the liquid and are not trapped - they can fly away!!!I unintentionally performed a side by side experiment using this WORTHLESS product against my attractant. Both liquids were placed next to separate hanging cylinders of bright yellow sticky fly paper.I actually watched the flies fly from the auntie's product into my liquid. Unlike the auntie product, any flies that were not trapped in my DIY liquid were trapped in the fly paper.After 5 days I had to replace the fly paper adjacent to DIY liquid. in contrast, the 3 bottles of Auntie containing who knows what had A TOTAL OF LESS THAN 20 IN THE BOTTLES AND ABOUT 10 TO 20 TRAPPED BY THE FLY PAPER.I am so angry about wasting money on products from Amazon with good reviews. This product has overall rating of 3.8. But that rating is CUMULATIVE - The much older reviews are generally positive compared to more current negative reviews. I conclude this is due to a change in formulation that neither amazon or the seller made clear.I was so pleased that Good Housekeeping had recommended the best way to eliminates fruit fly infestations in a recent article. The GH panel incorrectly included this product as the only commercially effective liquid attractant since it contained malic acid as part of the formulation. TheFRUIT FLY SEASON article made me remember that I had used Aunties successfully a few summers ago and loved their esthetics and effectiveness.I already emailed a request for them to provide evidence of its effectiveness using a recent bottle.I am requesting a refund from this seller based on my results and will update the status with both responses.Meanwhile if you are battling with fruit flies, infestations made worse by the higher temperature (I live in Connecticut) in the Northeast, read below.First understand that you must use the following steps throughout the fruit fly lifecycle (over several weeks so that the original fruit flies are trapped as well as the their progeny hatched from the hundreds of larvae deposited on whatever they fed on. {I am a biochemist and patent attorney so I needed to know what was going on}.Keep in mind for DIY solutions or other traps that you must attract and rid them from escaping. Otherwise you'll have dead flies near and flying around the attractant.A single fruit fly will deposit hundreds of larvae on fruit and vegetables and existing food sources.Follow these steps :1. Clean all surfaces daily with your typical all purpose cleaner (I use Fantastic with bleach) wherever you find these annoying bugs. For us this is primarily the kitchen in addition to the bathroom and TV room.REMEMBER THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO LIGHT AND 1 FLY WILL DEPOSIT EGGS THAT MATURE IN about 5 to7 DAYS.2. Unfortunately surface cleaning every 1-2 days is necessary to eliminate flying flies you see and larva that will hatch that you can't.3. Immediately thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables (existing or new) and refrigerate.4. Eliminate All food debris from kitchen counters, microwave, garbage cans, toaster oven, pet water and food bowls, etc. and keep everything covered or washed like used knives, glassware and plates.5. If you think this is drastic like I did, then you will see an infestation that feels as if those little things won...6. in the article, Good housekeeping recommended this product as using malic acid which is found in apple cider vinegar. It was part of discussion on using a DIY solution see ingredients above. Any solution must also contain a detergent which causes the flies eating on the attractant liguid to sink in the solution. They can't fly away and begin a new cycle of depositing eggs. At the beginning of the infestation I used the ingredients above along with standing/hanging yellow sticky fly paper I also bought from Amazon.I am very frustrated that I didn't do the research and work upfront instead of wasting money trying to find the non-existent magic bullet all summer!! As much as I love tasty vine ripened tomatoes and other summer fruit and vegetables, it's just not worth it. I think the high temperatures in July throughout the North East as well as nationaly/globally contributed to the problem experienced by me and almost everyone I know.

I must say worked very well ! So after a year they are back . I am reordering!

Packaged well. The sender even taped the lid on, so it would not unscrew and leak. This stuff does its job attracting gnats and fruit flies. I pour some in those little tomato looking things and it works great. The insect goes in the little holes in the top to get the liquid and can not come out.
