If most of you are like me, you’ve often brought home nice fresh fruit from the grocery store, only to find a day or two later you have fruit flies. The problem is that once you see one, brace yourself because you’re going to find a lot more.
These little buggers are a real pain in the behind. I mean if I have a bowl of grapes out and suddenly there’s 10 fruit flies all over it, I kind of loose my appetite. So what can we do about it?
Recently, well today truth be told, my wife told me of a solution that she had been told by a friend, and I just had to share it with you. This is pretty low tech, so don’t get ready to go out and buy a bunch of supplies or anything. It’s very simple. First you take a small bowl and add a portion of apple cider vinegar in it. Then you cover the bowl with saran wrap, after which you take a toothpick and poke some holes. Voila! You have yourself a fruit fly trap.
Earlier today, my wife decided to test this whole thing out. Sure enough, it works. You have to be patient of course. So far we’ve caught 4. They crawl in the toothpick holes in the saran wrap, and then they can’t get back out. So long fruit flies!!!



I'll have to try this! We've had some small flies in our home over the past few weeks but we're unsure if they're fruit flies or not… We'll try this out and see if it gets rid of them!!
