FAQ

What is the Fruit Fly Sucker?

The Fruit Fly Sucker is a patented, rechargeable handheld bug vacuum that provides a 100% pesticide-free way to capture fruit flies, house flies, ants, spiders, stink bugs, gnats, and other small insects. Bugs are quickly trapped on a replaceable sticky bug tape disc, making cleanup simple and mess-free. It’s perfect for homes, restaurants, bars, RVs, campers, hotels, rental properties, and anywhere unwanted insects become a nuisance.

How does the Fruit Fly Sucker work?

The Fruit Fly Sucker features a patented funnel that stays closed until the vacuum is turned on. Once activated, powerful suction pulls insects into the funnel, where they become trapped on the sticky bug tape disc. When one sticky layer is full, simply peel it away to reveal a fresh layer underneath.

Unlike traditional insect traps that wait for bugs to come to them, the Fruit Fly Sucker puts you in control. Whether it’s a fruit fly on the wall, a fly on a window screen, or an ant on the countertop, if you can see it, you can catch it.

Is it safe to use around food and pets?

Yes. The Fruit Fly Sucker is completely pesticide-free, making it a safer alternative to chemical sprays for use in kitchens, dining areas, restaurants, RVs, and around pets and family members. As with any small appliance, adult supervision is recommended around young children.

Does it work on more than just fruit flies?

Yes! The Fruit Fly Sucker is designed to capture many common household pests, including:

  • Fruit flies
  • House flies
  • Gnats
  • Sugar ants
  • Spiders
  • Stink bugs
  • Small wasps and similar insects

If you can see them, you can catch them.

Does it have a catch-and-release option?

Yes. If you’d rather relocate an insect instead of trapping it, simply place the protective cover back over the sticky bug tape before use. The insect can then be captured without contacting the adhesive and safely released outdoors.
