FAQs
How does the Evergreen Natural Fruit Fly Trap work?
The trap contains a plant-based liquid attractant that lures fruit flies into the bottle. Once inside, they are unable to escape and are trapped.
Is this trap safe to use around food and children?
Yes, the trap uses natural, plant-based ingredients and is pesticide-free, making it safe for use in kitchens and around food when used as directed.
How long does one trap last?

Can I use this trap outdoors?

What should I do if the trap gets knocked over?
If the trap is knocked over, carefully set it upright. If the attractant has spilled significantly, it is best to replace the trap to ensure continued effectiveness.
Does this trap attract other insects?

How many traps do I need for my kitchen?
For most kitchens, one or two traps placed strategically should be sufficient. For larger areas or severe infestations, you may need to use multiple traps.
Troubleshooting
Fruit flies are not entering the trap.
Ensure the trap is placed directly in the flight path of fruit flies or very close to their source. Confirm the protective film has been completely removed from the opening.
The trap seems to have stopped working before four weeks.
Check if the attractant liquid has evaporated or if the trap has been overturned. For best results, replace the trap if significant reduction in activity is observed before the expected lifespan.
Fruit flies are still present in the area.
This trap is designed to reduce and monitor fruit fly populations. For severe infestations, consider using multiple traps or identifying and eliminating the primary source of the fruit flies (e.g., decaying organic matter).
