Simple Fruit Fly Trap Recipes

SIMPLE FRUIT FLY TRAP

Steps:

• Use a small bowl.Mix slightly,No suds.
• I have a bowl in the kitchen and one in the basement. I change the vinegar solution every few days.
• The apple cider vinegar is the attractor the dish soap heavys down the wings and they drown.You will be amazed how well this works -- .

FRUIT FLY TRAP

Steps:

• Boil water in the microwave and add sugar. Stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and dishwashing liquid. Stir gently.
• Whenever we bring home fruit or fresh produce, I make a trap and place it right next to it.
• As they start to evaporate, I add a bit of water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to each trap once a week or so. I replace each trap every two weeks with a fresh one during peak fruit season.
• FYI:.
• I have found placing this solution in a see through bright colored bowl (such as the disposable children's travel bowls) works best. I also place it on a small plate to catch any spills, as this gets sticky. Fruit flies are also attracted to light -- so placing in your window sill is a good choice. In addition to the obvious fruit they are also attracted to trash, dirty dishes, and diapers.

FRUIT FLY/GNAT TRAP

Steps:

• Pour apple cider vinegar and drop of dish soap into glass or jar.
• With the paper, make a cone with a 3/4-1" hole on the bottom. The cone should sit on the glass rim without the tip touching the vinegar. You may have to squeeze-shape the cone a bit to prevent gaps between the paper and rim.
• Every day or two, switch out the vinegar. (You'll see when it stops being as potent. The flies/gnats will stop going in.).

FRUIT FLY/GNAT TRAP

Steps:

• Remove lid and drink soda.
• Eat banana and save peel.
• At the widest part of the body of the pop bottle and where the tapering begins measure down 3-4 inches.
• At this point cut the bottle.
• Place banana peel in bottle.
• Invert the top of the lid and place it in the bottle.
• It should resemble a funnel in/on a container.
• Now take your handy dandy duct tape or extra wide clear tape and tape the two parts together.
• Add the vinegar into bottle.
• Now wait for those little devils to fly inches.
• When they try to fly up they get trapped in the sides and can't get out.
