Things You'll Need
- Apple cider vinegar
- Small jar
- Plastic wrap
- Rubber band
- Tooth pick
Instructions
Remove any old fermenting or rotting fruit from your fruit bowl. Half fill a jar with apple cider vinegar. The fruit files are very attracted to apple cider vinegar, so it is a great bait for the trap.
Cover the jar with a piece of plastic wrap and secure it with a rubber band. Poke a few small holes in the top of the saran wrap with a toothpick. The fruit flies will find there way in through the little holes, just like they do everything else, but they won't be able to find their way out and will remain trapped in the jar.
Place the jar on your kitchen counter or it in an inconspicuous place. The fruit flies will still be able to find it. Leave the jar out for a few days, and it should take care of your fruit fly problem. When you are satisfied that your unwelcome guests have all been trapped, discard the jar.
