If you remember, back in my Pro Flowers review I was complaining about fruit flies. (I got a basket of fruit.) I tried the wine in the glass on the counter that someone suggested, but that didn’t help, unfortunately. Recently, though, I was given the chance to review the Terro Fruit Fly Trap from The Family Review Network! What a great little product! I put it in my kitchen about a week ago. I have fruit sitting right next to it and not a single fly flying around. I was so tired of seeing those little guys everywhere. It made me feel like my house was dirty! The trap is simple to use: you open the top of your “apple”, pour the bottle of non-toxic lure in and leave it on your counter! If you want a good read about other pests, head over to What’s Bugging Stew? Here’s a little about the Terro Fruit Fly trap:
NEWS RELEASE
Eliminate Fruit Flies with TERRO Fruit Fly Trap
Fast Acting Fruit Fly Trap is Non-toxic, Ready-to-Use
ST. LOUIS—Aug. 13, 2010—The fruit fly, one of the smallest flies found in homes, is also one of the most annoying. A familiar problem for most homeowners, fruit flies are commonly spotted swarming around kitchen fruit bowls and near garbage storage areas. Now, TERRO® (http://www.terro.com), an industry leader in pest control products for homeowners, is making it easy to get rid of these irritating pests with a highly effective new product. New TERRO Fruit Fly Traps not only get rid of fruit flies, they are environmentally safe and the apple-shaped trap looks right at home in any kitchen.
“TERRO Fruit Fly Traps are designed to lure adult fruit flies, using a special non-toxic food-based liquid lure,” says Stew Clark, technical director for TERRO pest control products. “Flies that enter the trap can’t escape to continue breeding.”
Fruit fly populations tend to be greatest in late summer and early fall as they infest fruits during the harvest season. According to Clark, “The key to successful elimination of fruit flies is to locate their breeding source and place the TERRO Fruit Fly trap nearby. Look for fruit fly sources in areas where unrefrigerated fruits and vegetables are stored, near garbage cans and recycling bins.”
All stages of a fruit fly infestation depend on moist organic debris to complete the fruit fly life cycle. The non-toxic acetic acid found in the TERRO Fruit Fly Trap lures the flies to the traps and eliminates the infestation. “Within a few days of placing the trap near a breeding source, you will see a significant decrease in the number of fruit flies,” says Clark. “And homeowners will also appreciate the ease-of-use and attractiveness of the trap itself.”
The traps retail for about $7.99 and can be purchased on line at www.terro.com. Or contact Terro at 1-800-837-7644 for the location of a store near you.
