Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would like to start by saying that if you are fond of fruit flies, and want to give them a treat that is fun to sit on and contributes to a safe fruit fly environment, this is the product for you. It will attract fruit flies, they will sit on the little plastic apples and absolutely thrive. They will be grateful for a colorful little red plastic apple to sit on. They are going to love this- they will find the included fluid delightful and will climb in and out of the little holes, seeming to have the time of their short little lives. The reason for my two star rating is that I was led to believe that this product would cause a violent painful death for the flies in our kitchen, whom I steadfastly hate. I had no desire to add any comfort to their miserable little lives. I don't want them in my life, and certainly don't want to make them happy. The reason I give two stars instead of one- I AM impressed at how effective it is at making flies happy. Before, they were buzzing around everything and getting into food, and now they seem pleased to just sit on the apples and socialize. They still buzz around things, but not nearly as much. I'd say they are about 65% more tolerable now that they are happy then they were before I introduced this product. So maybe this peaceful solution that didn't involve any killing is a moral high road. It's like if America was invaded by a foreign army, and instead of killing them we said 'hey, here are some delicious sandwiches and chips' and gave them a nice place to have a picnic, and maybe that would be the answer to avoiding a lot of killing and unpleasantness. I don't know, but this situation is certainly putting strange ideas into my head. So in short, if you want to murder fruit flies, maybe try fire. If you want to elevate their quality of life and come to some kind of peace through non-violent means, this seems like a pretty good product to do that.
