Fruit Flies

We have SOOO many fruit flies this time of year…can anyone else relate? 😒

How do you get rid of them?

We have done some vinegar fruit fly traps on & off over the years with varied results. I know some people put plastic wrap over the top with holes in it so the flies get in & can’t get out, but we have found better success without that. We figure we’ve caught at least 50 in the past week!🙄😮

After a few days, the trap was pretty full so we replaced it….

A “full” trap that had been sitting out a few days. There were also some dead on the bottom, so we caught at least 25-30 in one trap! Yay!
Making new traps…a dash of dish soap (the blue you see on the left), and a bit of apple cider vinegar. You can use regular vinegar, rotting fruit, lots of different options. Then mix it all together.
