Aunt Fannie's FlyPunch Fruit Fly Trap, Indoor Kitchen Use, 6 oz, Pack of 2

I am soooo happy I found this stuff! I first discovered it last year when we had a gnat infestation from a plant. We couldn’t understand where they were all coming from until I read somewhere that they can lay eggs in a plant. I had one plant and we bought some of this fly punch and put the plant outside. Within a week, we were gnat free! So, this year, I started seeing a few gnats flying around, I don’t have any plants anymore, so I have no idea where they were coming from( no fruit or veggies sitting out, bleached the sink drains, etc) but I ordered some more punch to nip them in the bud before it got out of control. We had only seen about a handful of gnats when I sat the punch out. When I woke up the next morning, there were 40 gnats in the punch!!! Where do they come from?! I had tried everything in the past to get rid of the gnats. I had the homemade liquid traps set out, I bought a couple of the sticky light traps, nothing was putting a dent in the swarm, until I bought this punch! The smell is pretty pungent, but it’s a small price to pay to get rid of them. I do wish it lasted a little longer. It seems to evaporate a little each week. One trap probably lasts 3 weeks to a month. I bought the 2 pack, so I’d be covered for a couple of months. I’m going to keep the containers and invest in the refill bottle next time. If you’re having a gnat issue, BUY THIS! It definitely works and catches a ton of the little annoying boogers!

I’ve tried all kinds of DIY traps and gimmicky sprays for fruit flies, but this is the only product that’s worked quickly, cleanly, and reliably—and I’m never going back. 🍎 Instant Results Within Hours As shown on page 3 of the listing, FlyPunch! is a powerful attractant designed specifically for fruit flies—and it absolutely delivers. I popped open a bottle and left it near my compost bin and fruit bowl. Within hours, I could see it working. By day two, the fly population had noticeably dropped. 🌿 Safe, Plant-Based Ingredients According to the product description (page 1), it’s made with plant-based ingredients, contains no harsh chemicals, and is safe to use in kitchens. That’s a major bonus if you have kids or pets around, or if you just don’t want toxic fumes near your produce. 🫙 So Simple to Use There’s zero setup. Just flip the lid, place it down, and let it do its thing. Each bottle lasts up to 30 days (page 1), and the 3-pack gives you plenty of coverage for multiple problem spots—sink, fruit bowl, garbage can, etc. 🏠 Perfect for Everyday Use The packaging shows it being used in real kitchens and food prep stations (page 3), and I can confirm it works great in high-traffic or humid areas. I’ve even recommended it to coworkers dealing with office breakroom fly issues. ✅ Pros: Works fast and consistently Non-toxic, food-safe ingredients No setup or mixing required Each bottle lasts weeks ❌ Cons: Has a bit of a vinegar scent when first opened (but fades quickly) Overall: This is a no-brainer if fruit flies are invading your space. It’s safe, natural, and actually effective. I always keep a pack on hand during warmer months—it’s now a staple in my home.

FRUIT FLY SEASON IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND I'M DETERMINED TO PREVENT LAST SUMMER'S INFESTATION. Update : I contacted the company multiple ways and multiple times. Amazon and the company totally ignored my legitimate complaint. Obviously they don't care about their customers dissatisfaction. It's not about the money - it's about blatant misrepresentation and unethical behavior displayed by both companies. I couldn't even get Amazon to include the "frequently returned" box on the item's page. I bought three bottles of auntie's product on Amazon 6 days ago to replace my DIY liquid attractant of appl cider vinegar +brown sugar +dish detergent. It's been 5 days and can confirm the other negative reviews that the product CAN'T contain the same liquid attractant - the fruit flies feed on the liquid and are not trapped - they can fly away!!! I unintentionally performed a side by side experiment using this WORTHLESS product against my attractant. Both liquids were placed next to separate hanging cylinders of bright yellow sticky fly paper. I actually watched the flies fly from the auntie's product into my liquid. Unlike the auntie product, any flies that were not trapped in my DIY liquid were trapped in the fly paper. After 5 days I had to replace the fly paper adjacent to DIY liquid. in contrast, the 3 bottles of Auntie containing who knows what had A TOTAL OF LESS THAN 20 IN THE BOTTLES AND ABOUT 10 TO 20 TRAPPED BY THE FLY PAPER. I am so angry about wasting money on products from Amazon with good reviews. This product has overall rating of 3.8. But that rating is CUMULATIVE - The much older reviews are generally positive compared to more current negative reviews. I conclude this is due to a change in formulation that neither amazon or the seller made clear. I was so pleased that Good Housekeeping had recommended the best way to eliminates fruit fly infestations in a recent article. The GH panel incorrectly included this product as the only commercially effective liquid attractant since it contained malic acid as part of the formulation. The FRUIT FLY SEASON article made me remember that I had used Aunties successfully a few summers ago and loved their esthetics and effectiveness. I already emailed a request for them to provide evidence of its effectiveness using a recent bottle. I am requesting a refund from this seller based on my results and will update the status with both responses. Meanwhile if you are battling with fruit flies, infestations made worse by the higher temperature (I live in Connecticut) in the Northeast, read below. First understand that you must use the following steps throughout the fruit fly lifecycle (over several weeks so that the original fruit flies are trapped as well as the their progeny hatched from the hundreds of larvae deposited on whatever they fed on. {I am a biochemist and patent attorney so I needed to know what was going on}. Keep in mind for DIY solutions or other traps that you must attract and rid them from escaping. Otherwise you'll have dead flies near and flying around the attractant. A single fruit fly will deposit hundreds of larvae on fruit and vegetables and existing food sources. Follow these steps : 1. Clean all surfaces daily with your typical all purpose cleaner (I use Fantastic with bleach) wherever you find these annoying bugs. For us this is primarily the kitchen in addition to the bathroom and TV room. REMEMBER THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO LIGHT AND 1 FLY WILL DEPOSIT EGGS THAT MATURE IN about 5 to7 DAYS. 2. Unfortunately surface cleaning every 1-2 days is necessary to eliminate flying flies you see and larva that will hatch that you can't. 3. Immediately thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables (existing or new) and refrigerate. 4. Eliminate All food debris from kitchen counters, microwave, garbage cans, toaster oven, pet water and food bowls, etc. and keep everything covered or washed like used knives, glassware and plates. 5. If you think this is drastic like I did, then you will see an infestation that feels as if those little things won... 6. in the article, Good housekeeping recommended this product as using malic acid which is found in apple cider vinegar. It was part of discussion on using a DIY solution see ingredients above. Any solution must also contain a detergent which causes the flies eating on the attractant liguid to sink in the solution. They can't fly away and begin a new cycle of depositing eggs. At the beginning of the infestation I used the ingredients above along with standing/hanging yellow sticky fly paper I also bought from Amazon. I am very frustrated that I didn't do the research and work upfront instead of wasting money trying to find the non-existent magic bullet all summer!! As much as I love tasty vine ripened tomatoes and other summer fruit and vegetables, it's just not worth it. I think the high temperatures in July throughout the North East as well as nationaly/globally contributed to the problem experienced by me and almost everyone I know.

I had a pretty bad fruit fly problem in my kitchen by my sink, so I decided to try this first. It is very potent smelling, which attracted quite a few flies. I would say that it definitely put a dent in the problem, but we still had to try other methods to completely get rid of the fruit flies.

Works great 👍hint, remove cap and stretch a piece of saran wrap over the top and punch small holes in the wrap with a small nail about 5 and rubber band to hold in place

This is a long story. I bought canned cat food from Amazon, as usual I put it in the cupboard and went on with life. Fast forward, a few days later little bugs started flying around my kitchen, I thought they were fruit flies. For two days I put up with them then bought this. Basically this is apple cider vinegar mixed with sugar. You can make the recipe yourself, which I would do instead of buying this. Now, upon a week after the food was put in the cupboard I opened it and was attacked by these little bombers with wings. The gray of cat food was infested, hundreds with eggs. The can of food in the second tray which was covered with the standard cardboard and outer plastic was split which made a great environment for these little jerks. It took me a week to hand kill these things- thankfully they were slow. Perhaps they were not fruit flies and that is why this product didn’t work. This is not why I am giving it two stars. I am giving it 2 starts because of its application. Once the top is flipped open it is easy to tip over, it is not balanced. The top is completely open because the goal is for the flies to go in for a drink and drown. Well, unless you put this inside a mug it is very easy to accidentally tip over. The smell is nauseating, but that is not the fault of the product, sometime the “medicine” is just awful. I also think it is a little overpriced. $8. For ingredients that would cost at most $.75. I know it is the ease of use and when you are being overtaken by bugs you are willing to pay anything. I am giving it 3 stars because I am indifferent of its effectiveness. I am not sure if these were fruit flies- if they were, then this product didn’t work at all, if they weren’t then I am judging the other aspects of the product: ease of use, quality, cost. Etc. Quality: Nice looking label, The high pungent smell of vinegar is enough to make you gag- so, it is the real deal and not watered down. Ease of use: just peel off the thin protective film and flip open the lid- voila. Cost: I think it’s a little pricey for the ingredients which you could easily make yourself. (They give the recipe online) But, isn’t it easy to press the “buy now” button and have the delivery guy drop at your door 48 hrs later?

Works very well, use at work in the bar.

For some reason, this summer was bad for fruit flies at our home. We also had an invasion of these strange flies that looked like mini house flies whose wings folded completely over their bodies... no idea what they were. Anyhoo, the long and short of it is that I watched a $÷!+ ton of TikTok videos and tried what seemed like a gazillion "fruitless" methods of ridding my home of the Amityville Horror invasion of flies. None of them worked. I purchased fly strips that were allegedly scented to attract flies, apparently they dont smell appealing to these flies. I purchased sticky fly boards, I think I caught approximately 12 fruit flies as I frustratedly swung the board through the cloud of flies on my way to deposit it in the trash we had moved outside in a bid to mitigate the buggers. I remembered seeing this advertised late last winter when I purchased some Aunt Fannie's carpet fresh and I searched Amazon until I found it. My mom lives next door and she was under attack as well so I purchased a 2 pack! Fast forward to the arrival and within an hour of me putting this fly ninja stuff out I had trapped and drowned more flies than I had in the entire month of TikTok tries and strips/boards combined! It's a jar of vinegar and perhaps soap? I put it on the window sill above my sink and they dip in for a looky loo and never come out! Well worth the price to find that apple cider vinegar really does lure those flying germ spreaders in! Hands down the best at riding my house of both types of flies and I will purchase again! They worked equally well for my mom and she says she is purchasing the next 2 pack we need ;)

Thought was a little pricey for what it is but it was so worth the money. Have recommended it to family and friends will definitely use again if needed. Had fruit flies in a bedroom and kitchen and within 2 days they were gone and there was loads of them. Definitely use this product you won't be disappointed

This is effectively vinegar in a plastic container. You could make your own for around £1 and it would be more effective . The container is not even shaped to trap them. They fly around it but not in it. This seems to attract flies but it doesn’t trap or kill any….not a single one. Using your own trap is better. Please don’t waste your money … this is just an expensive rip off and doesn’t work.

I loved this! I had so many of these horrid tiny flies flying around my fruit. Decided to get this. It isn’t cheap but it sure well does the job. I’d say in 48 hours I caught 20 plus in there. Thanks Aunt Fannie

Initially trapped and killed fruit flies but quickly lost its potency

This really works! I don’t know how I got a fruit fly problem, but this stuff sorted it out. It doesn’t smell very nice, but a small price to pay.
