Sweet Surrender Fruit Fly Trap distinguishes itself with a seamless blend of functionality and ease-of-use. This reusable trap includes two doses of Dr. Killigan’s proprietary, plant-based attractant, liberating your home from the cycle of constantly buying disposable traps. It’s a lasting investment against a recurrent problem that plagues households all too frequently.
The trap is engineered with vent lines that guide fruit flies to the point of no return. The attractant—a proprietary blend of citrus, sucrose and vinegar—uses a specialized fermentation process with grapes for California. For fruit flies, it’s to die for. They are lured into the trap, ensnared by the aroma and quickly meet their demise. The end result? A home free from disease-spreading invaders, and a sigh of relief from you, the now-satisfied homeowner.
Confidence is woven into the very fabric of the Sweet Surrender Fruit Fly Trap, which is why it comes stamped with Dr. Killigan's 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Effective against:
- Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)
This product is not intended to be used against gnats and drain flies.
Fruit flies can spread harmful bacteria like E. coli, salmonella and listeria. They are attracted to processes associated with fermentation, and commonly breed on over-ripe fruit and other produce. In the fermentation process, yeast acts on sugars, producing alcohols and CO2, and these by-products are what fruit flies have been found to flock to.
Dr. Killigan’s Sweet Surrender Fruit Fly Trap is a patent-pending design with vent lines calibrated to perfection, allowing just the right amount of attractant to escape. These lines serve as pathways, directing fruit flies to their ultimate destination. Even the entrance holes at the end of each vent line are meticulously sized to be inviting only to our targeted pests.
Vinegar is a key ingredient in Sweet Surrender’s plant-based attractant, using a specialized fermentation process with grapes from California. With the results from well over a year of testing, Dr. Killigan’s found these specially fermented grapes consistently outperformed other attractants, logging up to 10x the catch rates to competitor formulas. Plant-based sodium lauryl sulfate changes the surface tension of the formula and when fruit flies attempt to feed on it, they end up drowning instead of being able to remain on the surface of the formula.
This product is a "minimum-risk" pest product, with ingredients recognized by the U.S. EPA to pose "little to no risk to human health and the environment." It qualifies for exemption from EPA registration under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
