Do these work on fruit flies?

They absoluty did! I used them on ripening fruit and the last of my tomatoes. Bay plants can't be without them! I use them on other house plants,too! 'More efficient than spray because they provide constant protection.

They only work for me when it's over 90 degrees. Last summer we only had 4 or 5 days over 90 and I killed more with my fly swatter than they caught. When its hot, they fill up fast. Make sure to hang in the sun.

The idea is that the insect is attracted to the red sphere thinking it is an apple and gets entrapped. I do not know if the same insect gets into blueberrries, I guess it could work, but does not seem likely. I checked on line after posting previous answer, it seems that these in fact have been used to control the blueberry maggots, I found on several different sites. The blueberry fly maggot may be related to the apple fly maggots, they look the same, only are a little smaller. I personally have had no experience with that, but perhaps the ones in my apple trees did in fact catch some and I was not aware of it. (I do have blueberries)

Yes. Holes are ver small. It keeps the fruit flies out. Just make sure you place something on the sides to keep it down.

Yes they do have a fly although I do not use them, I find them too difficult to put a large package through a small hole.

I use them to control white flies in my indoor garden. But I cannot see them working in an outdoor environment.arden

Not sure how effective this product would fork for deterring fruit flies, but I do think it would help. It does work will with mosquitoes and it helps with sand fleas. The biology is a little different with fruit flies but the lemongrass essential oil (an ingredient here) is effective for deterring fruit flies. It will not kill them however.

I really do not know. I only use them outside for flies and it works great. They are not that expensive so maybe try one inside and see what happens.

Yes quite nice. I use it for my compost dregs (in the kitchen) and do not want fruit flies etch..... "bugging" me! They I take it out to the compost bins and no flies! Win Win!

Yes, I did have some problems with fruit flies. So I used the old remedy of placing a small container next to the steel composter. Fill it with water, a little brown vinegar and a drop or two of dish detergent. The flies are attracted to the vinegar and cannot escape the detergent which breaks the water surface. They then drown.

I don't know if this works on gnats because that was not my intended use, I just wanted to disrupt the life cycle of biting flies and such. Check on google to find what is most effective, good luck!

That is what I used it on Anne. I got fungus gnats from a soil I used and it was crazy! Never having dealt with them before I thought they were fruit flies until I read up about them. My violets were fine after I used it. I also used fly strips.

I bought these last year and according to my search they do work on deer flies. I bought a different fly trap this year, don't know why I changed but anyway that one also is recommended for deer flies. I love these type of traps no mess no fuss. I always leave at least one in my barn and I never have any fly problems. I raise sheep, chicks, pigs. The pigs have one in their area also. Good Luck.

This buy zapper is only good for larger insects only, no good for fruit flies you may hit a few if lucky but not so with those type insects.

I know it works for more than just common "house flies" because there are more "bugs" in it than just those. I believe I have seen some horse flies in the bag too, but am not 100% certain (I do know what a horse fly is, just not absolute that I've seen them in the bag). In my opinion, for the cost, it is definitely worth the try.

Even if it doesn't, a good solution to drain flies is drain cleaner. I know, seems kind of cruel but it does kill them. Bleach works too.

It should, it killed fruit flies, yard flies, and the ones that bite (which I thought were horse flies)...
