New Thing #89: Fruit Fly Catcher


There seems to be a theme recently: Firefly, Fruitfly...lol. Firefly was MUCH better then fruit flies, however. Last year, living in this apartment we had an infestation of fruit flies. I kept the kitchen pretty clean too, it just seemed like it was NEVER good enough. So, I made a fruit fly trap with the following ingredients:

One small disposable plastic cottage cheese bowl
1 drop of liquid dish soap (to make it so the flies can't LEAVE the liquid)
1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar (yay, I can finally use up that vinegar!)
1/2 cup water (to dilute the mixture)
small, tempting food particles (preferably bananas though anything will do)
Place one bowl in every area where fruit flies are prevalant.
Change solution once a week or as needed.
