Operating Instructions

The TERRO T550 fly trap operates by attracting flies with its specialized food-based lure. Once flies enter the trap housing, they come into contact with the sticky glue board and are captured. The discreet design of the trap, featuring a patterned housing and dark glue board, ensures that trapped insects are hidden from view, maintaining the aesthetic of your living space.

Maintenance

For continuous and effective fly control, regularly inspect the glue board. Once the glue board is full of flies, carefully remove it from the housing and discard it in a waste receptacle. Replace with a new glue board and lure packet as per the setup instructions.

Troubleshooting

If the trap is not attracting flies effectively:

  • Ensure the lure packet contents were evenly sprinkled on the sticky surface.
  • Verify the trap is placed in an area with active fly presence.
  • Check if the glue board is expired or has lost its stickiness; replace if necessary.
  • Consider relocating the trap to a different area if fly activity is low in the current spot.
