FAQs

ARE FRUIT FLIES DANGEROUS TO MY HEALTH?

Fruit flies aren’t directly causing health problems. However, they can – just like any other type of fly – spread bacteria on food and drinks. Did you know that fruit flies easily lay hundreds up till thousands of eggs in (ripe) fruit? You may want to think twice before you take a bite!

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CONTROL FRUIT FLIES?

Apart from being very annoying, fruit flies spread bacteria and will cause your fruit to go bad in no time, which is a waste! Also, if you don’t control the fruit flies in time, these tiny flies can soon become a huge problem. They reproduce quickly and will soon turn into a plague!

HOW CAN I PREVENT A FRUIT FLY PLAGUE?

Fruit flies have a very strong sense of smell. The smell of ripe fruit attracts them like a magnet. In one month, a fruit fly can lay between 400 and 800 eggs, that can hatch in just one day when the temperature is right. It’s important to control the fruit fly problem immediately to prevent a plague. With the Fruit Fly Ninja you can stop the infestation, as you will catch most of the fruit flies within only one day.

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO CONTROL FRUIT FLIES?

Fruit flies are very tiny and super-fast. They are impossible to catch with your bare hands! The best way to catch the fruit flies is to use a trap. With the Fruit Fly Ninja you will lure the fruit flies away from your fruit, right into the trap. The unique product design will make sure that the tiny flies can’t find their way back out. With the Fruit Fly Ninja you will catch most of the fruit flies in just one day.

WHY IS SUPER NINJA’S FRUIT FLY TRAP SO EFFECTIVE?

The secret behind the Fruit Fly Ninja? An attractant that the tiny fruit flies can’t resist, made from the right mix of natural ingredients. As they find this substance way more attractive than your fruit, they will soon be on their way! Due to our innovative product design, there is no way that the fruit flies can find their way out of the trap. The adhesive strip makes the trap easy to place, in a strategic and discrete spot. For instance, behind the refrigerator, or near to the source of the problem.

HOW COME THE NATURAL ATTRACTANT IS SO EFFECTIVE?

We searched for the perfect formula for a long time – and we have found it! The right mix of vinegar and fruit juice form a natural cocktail that fruit flies can’t resist. A surface breaking substance, similar to detergent, makes sure that the tiny flies wont float but will drown quickly.

HOW FAST DOES THE FRUIT FLY TRAP SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

The trap works immediately! You just have to unscrew the cap of the trap and place it in a strategic position, close to the source of the problem. Within a day you will have caught a large proportion of fruit flies, depending on the amount already present. Are you already suffering from a large infestation? Then place several fruit fly traps.

HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO REPLACE THE FRUIT FLY TRAP?

How often you need to replace the fruit fly trap depends on the number of fruit flies already hovering around in your kitchen. Just within one day you will be able to catch most of the tiny flies. Are the fruit flies a persistent problem? Replace the Fruit Fly Ninja when it’s full or after ± 30 days.

IS THE FRUIT FLY TRAP ALSO BEING USED BY PROFESSIONALS?

Definitely. Our Fruit Fly Ninja is being used by supermarkets and in hotels and restaurants. Also pest control services, such as Rentokil, use Super Ninja.

WHAT MAKES THE SUPER NINJA FRUIT FLY TRAP SO SUSTAINABLE?

In short: everything! We tried our best to make the Fruit Fly Ninja 100% sustainable. From the attractant, the packaging, to the manufacturing and transportation. The attractant contains a mix of natural ingredients. The trap is made from recycled and recyclable plastic, the packaging from recycled and recyclable unbleached carton.

We strive to produce locally as much as we can, to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum. We pack our products efficiently, in order to ship as many as we can in one freight.

IS THE FRUIT FLY NINJA SAFE TO USE?

Definitely. The natural ingredients are food grade. The product is very safe to use and to place in the kitchen. However, the trap does contain small parts, so make sure you place it stays out of the reach of small kids.

It didn’t work at all.

Unfortunately it didn’t work for us at all. I left it next the plant for a week which had so many fruit flies around and the trap caught not even one of them.

Hi Reiko, sorry to hear the traps didn't work for you. In your review you mention the flies are around a plant. This suggests to me your issue is fungus gnats rather than fruit flies. For fungus gnats you would need to use Plant Fly Traps - https://ecotraps.au/products/super-ninja-plant-fly-traps

CATCHING FRUIT FLIES? THIS WAY YOU WILL FINALLY GET RID OF ALL THOSE FRUIT FLIES.

Tiny flies, hovering around in your kitchen or living room? Suddenly they are there: fruit flies. First there were only a few, but it became an entire invasion in no time. Where do these tiny flies come from? How can you prevent a plague? And in case the harm has already been done, how do you control the fruit fly problem? Learn all you need to know about fruit flies and discover easy ways to get rid of them. We share effective DIY-solutions and tips for the best fruit fly control products.

WHAT ATTRACTS FRUIT FLIES THE MOST?

Fruit flies have a very strong sense of smell. The smell of alcohol, produced by ripe fruit, attract the fruit flies like a magnet. However – though the name might suggest otherwise – fruit flies are not only attracted by fruit; they like a lot more. They love coffee-grounds, beer and wine, rotten vegetables, dead flowers, and juice.

WHAT TIME OF YEAR DO FRUIT FLIES APPEAR?

Mostly with warm weather fruit flies will appear, so during the spring and summer. Especially with temperatures between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius fruit flies flourish.

HOW FAST DO FRUIT FLIES MULTIPLY?

Fruit flies reproduce rapidly. They lay between 400 and 800 eggs in one month. With the right temperature – between 21 and 25 degrees – their eggs will hatch within one day. The larvae will feed themselves with the ripe fruit and will turn into mature fruit flies within 8 to 11 days. After that, they will live for about a month. So be careful: these tiny flies can soon become a huge problem!

ARE FRUIT FLIES DANGEROUS OR HARMFUL?

Though the little flies seem harmless, this isn’t entirely the case. Just like any other fly, fruit flies can spread bacteria onto fruit and other foodstuffs. This is not only unhygienic but can also cause health problems. Due to fruit flies, fruit will go bad in no time. Also, the little flies, hovering around the house, can be quite annoying.  

5 TIPS TO PREVENT A FRUIT FLY PROBLEM

Preventing a fruit fly problem is of course better than solving one. Wondering how? With these steps you can prevent fruit flies from taking over your kitchen.

Collapsible content

1. MAKE SURE YOUR KITCHEN AND TABLES ARE CLEAN

Clean the surfaces, where you prepare or consume food and drinks, regularly, to make sure there are no tracks of food scraps or spilled drinks attracting (new) fruit flies.

2. EAT FRUIT BEFORE IT’S TOO RIPE OR STORE IT IN THE FRIDGE

The smell of ripe fruits attracts fruit flies like a magnet. Eat your fruit in time or store it in the fridge, safely out of the reach of fruit flies!

3. KEEP YOUR FRUIT IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER

Do you prefer to keep your fruit outside the fridge? Use a basket that you can close properly or an airtight container, to make sure fruit flies can’t reach the fruit and lay new eggs in it.

4. BE AWARE OF GARBAGE AND EMPTY BOTTLES

Try to separate food scraps from other garbage and choose a bin that you can close properly. Also be aware of empty bottles. Clean them before you store them away.

5. KEEP FRUIT FLIES AT DISTANCE WITH AN HERBAL PLANT

Fruit flies don’t like the smell of mint, citronella, lavender, and thyme. Placing one of these plants in your kitchen can help you to keep the fruit flies at distance.
