Terro Fruit Fly Trap
06/13/26
Terro Fruit Fly Trap, manufactured by Woodstream, is a fast-acting fruit fly trap that uses a long-lasting liquid bait to lure fruit flies inside. Once inside, fruit flies will be unable to escape leading to cease of breeding and control of fruit fly population.
This product is specifically designed to appear as an apple to blend into your homes décor and not raise suspicion to fruit flies. As fruit dependent pests, fruit flies will travel towards the scented trap and ingest the bait formulated with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 0.08% leading to death within 24 hours.
Terro Fruit Fly Trap is an attractive food-based liquid lure that does not stain and allows you to monitor the product with little handlement through its built-in windows.
Tools Needed
Terro Fruit Fly Trap comes ready to use with no additional tools required for application.

- Step 5: Throw away the traps once 45 days have passed after first application.
