Terro Fruit Fly Trap Review & Giveaway – Ends 09/06
One of the worst parts of summer is the insects – especially flies! Are you tired of fruit flies in your kitchen? One lucky Contest Corner reader will win two Terro Fruit Fly Traps, so read on!
Fruit flies are one of the biggest nuisances during summertime – they really “bug” me (terrible pun very much intended). Any time I set out lunch on a summer day, I have to be sure and cover the food with a kitchen towel until we’re ready to eat, so the flies don’t get to it. Yuck! They always seem to find a way in – so when I had a chance to try out a Terro Fruit Fly Trap through the Family Review Network, I was very eager to see if it would make these flies “Buzz off”!
My Terro trap arrived on Friday, and as I pulled it out of the box, the first thing I noticed was that a fruit fly started buzzing around me! I shooed the fly, pulled the trap out of the package, and the fly zoomed back to inspect the trap. It was already drawing major interest from these pests – and I hadn’t even filled the trap yet!
The trap is designed to look like a little apple, which you fill with a liquid lure and set on the kitchen counter (or wherever you notice the most fruit flies). Right away, I saw flies landing on the trap. I noticed that they would walk into the trap, but then fly back out; I thought it was a little gross to see all these flies congregated on top of the trap, but not going in. I wondered how effective this was going to be – then I had a look at it this morning.
The above is a photo of my trap which I snapped today. I know, what a charming visual, right? 
Those little black spots you see are all dead flies – I counted 8 or 9. That’s just over the course of a weekend! I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. I’ve also noticed that the flies aren’t congregating on top of the trap so much now. I love that the trap is attractive and keeps the flies hidden and contained, unlike flypaper, which is disgusting to look at. I still have one or two fruit flies buzzing around, but given that I’ve only had this trap out for a few days, I feel pretty confident that they will “Bug off” soon!
You can find Terro online on Facebook, Twitter, and their blog.

I really want the fruit fly trap, but would also try the ant killer spray. I can’t seem to get rid of those guys since I canned corn. Thanks!
That looks so cool. What a great idea. Get rid of those little pests!
At the moment, the only things bothering me are fruit flies and mosquitos.
I could really use the Liquid Ant Baits.
I follow on gfc.
I need the ant traps to, lol.
The fruit fly trap is definitely something I’d like to try. I hate those things! They always fly right in front of your eyes while you’re eating. I live in the woods, so I could use some of their ant solutions — but I have to find out what kind of ants I have. The traps I had before aren’t working this time. sigh*
the ant traps – we have ants in the kitchen – yuck

I could use the Fruit Fly Trap or the Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits!!

Definitely ants! Not only do we have fruit flies but sugar ants as well. I see they have an ant bait that looks like it’s worth checking out.

I would have to go with the fruit fly trap as I cannot use any of the outdoor things,because I have chickens and ducks running around and do not want them to get hurt!!
But I really think the fruit fly trap would work for me,here lately every time I try and eat pizza rolls and ranch they come out of there hide out! I never ever see them until I try and eat ranch!! Argg it drives me crazy!!!

We have a major ant problem… therefore I think the ant bait would be a perfect fit.
