Fruit Fly Trap

Getting rid of fruit flies for good takes more than one swipe of a fly spray. This fruit fly trap collection brings together the traps, catchers, flypapers and fly sticks that actually work over days and weeks, not just for the flies in the air right now but for the new ones hatching behind them.

Why fruit flies keep coming back

Fruit flies are drawn to ripe or overripe fruit, spilled juice, wine and beer, food waste, recycling and drains. A single piece of forgotten fruit or an unrinsed jar in the recycling can be enough to keep a small population going for weeks, which is why a quick clean-up alone rarely solves the problem. A dedicated fruit fly trap, left in place near the source, keeps working long after you have stopped spraying, catching new flies as fast as they appear.

What's in this collection

You'll find non-toxic fruit fly traps and refills for kitchen counters and fruit bowls, general indoor fly traps and window stickers for house flies, and traditional flypapers and adhesive fly sticks that use a simple sticky surface instead of any spray or insecticide. Most of the products here are insecticide-free, making them a straightforward choice for kitchens, and safe to use around food preparation areas when positioned correctly.

How to choose the right fruit fly trap

For a handful of fruit flies hovering around the fruit bowl, a dedicated fruit fly trap or its refill is usually enough on its own. For a wider house fly problem, or if you want backup near bins, drains and recycling, a flypaper or fly stick gives you a low-cost way to catch flies wherever they gather. Using two or three traps together, in different spots, brings numbers down faster than relying on just one.

Every product in this collection ships fast from Essentials Fix, with full instructions on each product page so you know exactly where to position it and how long it will last.
