FAQs
How long does one Super Ninja Fruit Fly Killer trap last?
Each Super Ninja Fruit Fly Killer trap is designed to last for up to 3 weeks, providing continuous protection against fruit flies. You should replace it sooner if it appears full.
Can I use this trap outdoors?
This trap is primarily designed for indoor use to target fruit flies that are a nuisance in your home. While it might catch some flies outdoors, its effectiveness would be significantly reduced due to environmental factors and a wider variety of insects.
Is the attractant liquid safe around pets and children?
The attractant liquid is ecological and completely free of toxins. However, like all household products, it should be kept out of reach of children and pets. If ingested, consult a medical professional or veterinarian.
What kind of flies does this trap catch?
The Super Ninja Fruit Fly Killer is specifically formulated to attract and trap fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). It is not effective against other types of flying insects, such as fungus gnats or house flies.
How do I know if I have fruit flies or fungus gnats?
Fruit flies are typically found hovering around ripe fruits, vegetables, and fermenting liquids in kitchens. Fungus gnats are usually smaller, darker, and are found flying near potted plants, attracted to moist soil. If your problem is near plants, you likely have fungus gnats and need a different solution like a Plant Fly Ninja.
What should I do if the trap doesn't seem to be working?
First, confirm you are dealing with fruit flies, not fungus gnats. Then, ensure the trap is placed as close as possible to the source of the fruit flies. Also, eliminate other food sources (e.g., remove overripe fruit, clean up spills) that might distract flies from the trap.
Troubleshooting
Trap isn't catching fruit flies.
Verify that the pests are indeed fruit flies, as this trap is not effective against fungus gnats. Reposition the trap closer to the source of the fruit flies (e.g., fruit bowl, trash can) and ensure the area is free from competing attractants like open food or spilled drinks.
Trap filled quickly and is no longer effective.
This indicates a high fruit fly population. Replace the trap more frequently than every three weeks, and consider addressing the source of the fruit flies (e.g., removing overripe produce, cleaning drains, emptying compost bins regularly) to reduce the overall population.
Adhesive backing isn't sticking well to surfaces.
Ensure the surface where you are placing the trap is clean, dry, and smooth. Avoid rough, dusty, or greasy surfaces. If the problem persists, use additional double-sided tape for reinforcement if needed, though this should not be necessary under normal conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Setup is straightforward: simply peel the protective film from the adhesive on the back of the trap and stick it onto a clean, dry surface near the fruit fly activity. Ensure the placement is stable and secure.
Compatibility: The Super Ninja Fruit Fly Killer is compatible with all indoor environments where fruit flies are a nuisance. It is specifically designed for fruit flies and will not be effective against other flying insects like fungus gnats (which are typically found around potted plants and require a different solution). For best results, use it in kitchens, dining areas, pantries, or any indoor space experiencing fruit fly activity.
Care: No maintenance or refilling is required. Simply replace the trap every three weeks, or sooner if it becomes visibly full of fruit flies, to maintain continuous effectiveness. Dispose of used traps in regular household waste.
