Abstract

A fruit fly trap whose exterior shape represents a piece of fruit such as an apple, orange, banana or the like. The trap housing includes a bottom base portion and a top cover portion. The cover contains various holes through which fruit flies can gain access to the interior of the trap. The trap also includes a locking mechanism for securing the base and cover together. Located inside the trap is a natural product attractant stored within the interior of the trap. The construction of the trap is such that the liquid or powder attractant is retained inside the trap so it will not spill out. Also, a disabling adhesive is located on a glueboard insert and/or on the interior walls of the trap. Thus, when fruit flies enter the trap they will get caught in the adhesive or simply die because they cannot escape.
