The Best-Selling Fruit Fly Traps on Amazon Are Only $3 Apiece Right Now

What do you look forward to the most about summer? If you're eager to go on vacation, dine outside, or visit your favorite pick-your-own farm, you're not alone. But while so many fun things are returning for the season, there are also quite a few pesky critters ready to make their presence known—and one of them is fruit flies. If you're wondering how to get rid of fruit flies inside your home, try these proven traps that are on sale for just $6.

Just like their name implies, fruit flies are attracted to fruit. That's why you are most likely to find them lurking in your kitchen. But the Terro indoor fruit fly trap works quickly to eliminate any type of infestation. What's more, the traps come in a set of two, so you can place them in more than one location—and the liquid needed to make the traps active is included as well. Plus, the traps are shaped like apples to help to lure the bugs in and still look cute on your counter.

"Within minutes they were on top of the apples. Within a day, 90 percent of them were gone," shared one five-star reviewer. "I tried five different traps and home solutions to get a fruit fly problem under control," wrote another shopper, "This was the cheapest and best solution of all of them!"

The Terro traps already have a whopping 24,600 five-star ratings and 2,500 positive reviews, and many shoppers point out how efficiently they work. Some of that comes down to how easy the traps are to use: Plan to squeeze half of the liquid into each trap, place the traps in an upright position near your fruit, sink, or trash (the areas where fruit flies tend to lurk), and peek through the built-in window to check how many flies are trapped inside. You won't have to worry about emptying the traps or swapping them frequently, either, because they remain active for up to 45 days once they're in use.

"The solution that they use is irresistible to fruit flies, and they have a lot of trouble getting out the way the plastic is designed," shared a shopper who said the traps solved their fruit fly problem quickly and noted that they plan to purchase additional traps to have on hand, just in case they come back.

After waiting for months for summer to arrive, don't let fruit flies get in the way of your seasonal fun. Instead, shop the Terro fruit fly traps for just $3 apiece, and quickly eliminate those pesky insects from your kitchen for good.
