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.

I’ve previously purchased this from Amazon and have now purchased it again because it worked so great the first time. I have never received this open or leaking. It’s always been packaged tightly in plastic when I’ve received it. This stuff really draws the gnats in. They love the stuff. After opening and leaving it out, you immediately start noticing a difference in the appearance of the gnats because they’re drawn in to it and not bugging (no pun intended) you! After a week of use, I was amazed at how many dead gnats were floating in the solution. It starts to lose its potency after a week or two, so the directions advise you to toss it after two weeks and replace. It’s a small bottle and not noticeable, and of course, it’s a little gross to have a bottle sitting around with dead gnats in it…it’s also a little on the expensive side for what it is, but I’d rather have something premixed in a cute bottle than have a saucer or bowl on my counter with solution in it. I will also say that the smell is quite pungent. You’re going to smell nothing but the apple cider vinegar for the first few days. It’s easy to use. You just pop the top and leave it near a place where you see the gnats (sink/garbage) and like the description on the bottle says, watch the cycle of life unfold!

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.

Aunt Fannie’s FlyPunch Fruit Fly Trap works but not as well as I hoped. In the first few days it slowly but surely caught several of the flies. However, one week later I still have a few fruit flies hovering over the same area that the FlyPunch is in. I could scream! That said, the FlyPunch container neatly sits on the counter – it’s not obtrusive or an eye soar – and it seems to last. I think it is equally as effective as the Terro brand but the Terro brand had much less liquid bait and had to be replaced frequently.

I had troubles before at my old job with fruit flies and I remembered us using this brand of trap and it worked PERFECTLY!! I just moved and we started getting a fruit fly infestation and the stupid raid apple traps only caught one fly. I got this today and withing 30 minutes of opening it, there were 7-8 flies on it! Dont waste your money on expensive plugs or apple traps, this stuff works MIRACLES!!

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

I have tried plug in lures and they only caught 15 bugs over 2 weeks. With this stuff (fly punch) in 2 weeks, a single trap has killed over 20. Very effective, comes with a lot of fluid, very easy to use. Just set it and forget it. Did not leak in the mail, the cap feels solid and prevents leaks. So far i have had this for 2 weeks with one being left open 24/7 and it is still full, the lifespan of a single bottle should be a few months. They’re not flying in my face every 10 seconds now!!! Thank you!!

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

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.
