Raid Essentials Indoor Fruit Fly Trap, 5.4 oz

I've bought a variety of different bug removal products and this is the one I had the least confidence in. Reviews didn't seem bad but the negative outweighed the positive in my head and I nervously made the purchase. Let me tell you, I was wrong 100x over. The first week I set it up I noticed it attracting them in droves, sitting around the rim but not going in. I was scared here but I carried on. Not too long later I peered in when passing by and it had caught TONS. I have had it open a bit past the 21 days it recommended, and while the strong smell has vanished, it still seems to attract them even now. It is a bit gross with seeing clumps of the little dead things at the bottom, so I wouldn't recommend keeping it out for long. I don't receive guests so it was no inconvenience for me to keep this in the problem areas indefinitely. Next to my sink for the drain buggers, and right on my dining table. I'm keeping it open for a few days more and will definitely be buying another when I'm next able! Maybe two, but that might be a bit much haha!

The smell is awful! It's so strong and it makes you nauseous. However it works! It's cheap and small and doesn't take up much space and works really well!

The product works great from the moment it's opened, but the smell is horrendous. It's a strong, rotten, sour odor that can be nauseating. I cannot use it inside my home. I understand this smell attracts fruit flies, but as a human, it is so pungent it upsets your stomach/senses. It might be better for shed, unfinished basement, or barn use.

Purchased this previously, about a month ago, and received 2 jars. Second shipment only received one jar (same price). And I just pressed “order again” option. Not worth the price. Jar just contains apple cider vinegar anyway. It catches flies but not enough for the high price. Besides, you have to shake it up often as the flies are only attracted to the bubbles.

If you have gnat or fly problem this thing works miracles! I’ve tried every trick to get rid of the gnats that come out of our drain to the kitchen sink and nothing has worked. This catches them literally soon as they come out apparently I’ve not seen one flying around since I opened this. It’s been like 3 days. This thing is small and out of the way, affordable and all you have to do is shake and open it does smell bad but as long as you don’t put your face right up on it it won’t bother you or stink your house up.

I started using these Raid fruit fly traps in my kitchen and around my plants and they really do work. I've bought several more since buying the first one because they cut down the gnats so well. The smell is strong when you are close to it, but for me the results are worth it. I think I may have brought the problem in from bananas or other fruit, and these traps helped get it under control almost overnight. They are easy to place around the house near the source of the problem. If you are dealing with these pesky little fruit flies, give this product a try. It was very effective and worked great for me.

I set this out as soon as i got it, peeled off the top and let it work it's magic. In 3 days no fruit flies we're to be found!

So far it's working but slowly it's trapping the fruit flies

What an absolute waste of money. The smell is ridiculous and it caught 1 fruit fly! The rest are flying in the room laughing at the product

Absolutely stinks of white vinegar and takes over the entire room with the smell. Much better products out there
