Getting Rid Of Fruit Flys

Are you having a fruit fly problem! Need to get rid of them in a way that is environmentally friendly?

Find an empty 2 pop bottle. Fill the bottom inch with either fruit juice, apple cider, beer, pop, V8 juice,or vinegar along with a few drops of dish soap or cooking oil. The dish soap or cooking oil will break the liquid’s surface tension. So any fruit flies that attempt to land will get caught in the liquid. Place the bottle where the fruit flies are a problem.

Another option if no pop bottles are available is to make this trap instead. Take any size bowl and cover the bottom with either fruit juice, beer, soda, V8, apple cider, or vinegar along with a few drops of cooking oil or dish soap and then cover the top with plastic wrap. Poke several small holes in the wrap with a fork or thin knife and place the bowl in the area of infestation. The fruit flies will smell their way into the bowl and will be unable to escape.
