Container traps lure flies in with bait and kill them with either poisoning, drowning, or dehydration. Zap The type of trap you need will vary depending on your situation. The kind of species you want to target is one of the most important questions to ask, as not all traps will work for every kind of insect. Though most traps on this list are suitable for all flying insects, for infestations of fruit flies you’ll likely want a trap specifically designed for this species, like the Terro Fruit Fly Trap.After 30 days or once the trap is full, wrap a bag around the trap and put it in the trash. These traps are specially designed for flies—if mosquitoes are the problem insect in your yard, you might want to hire a mosquito control company or use a mosquito repellent. If you’re interested in natural outdoor pest control methods, consider planting insect-repelling outdoor plants in your garden or around your home.

Change the bait regularly, ideally every few days. As the bait in the trap starts to decompose, it will become less effective over time. Most fly traps should automatically attract and trap flies when they venture too close. However, knowing exactly where to place the trap helps yield the best possible results.

The non-toxic Safer Indoor Fly Trap is the best fly trap for indoors, especially for homes with curious kids and pets. The trap uses light as a lure so it doesn’t have any chemical insecticides or baits that could be harmful. The trap looks more like a night light or an air freshener than a fly trap and is one of the best-designed on our list, seamlessly blending in with home decor.Whether it’s a colony of fruit flies in the kitchen or a house fly that won’t stop buzzing around the trash can, a fly invasion is a huge annoyance. And once they’re inside, it often seems impossible to get rid of them. Compared to others on our list, this fly trap has a slightly more complex setup, and you’ll need to supply your own string or wire for hanging. Follow the directions on the bag to expose the trap entrance, then add water to activate the bait and hang the trap outside. Lured by the scent, flies enter the trap through the cap and drown in the water. When the trap is full, discard the dead insects into the trash, re-bait, and add water to reuse the trap. The wide mouth of the trap allows easy filling and washing, though keep in mind the trap should not be cleaned in a dishwasher. Always identify your species of fly before purchasing a trap—not all flies are attracted to the same traps,” Thomas says. “A successful fly program starts with cleaning up the source of infestation, sealing any entryways, and trapping and/or treating the remaining adults and larvae.”
