How to make a Fruit Fly Trap

Last year I was watching a local cable show and they were talking about inexpensive household hints. One of the hints was how to make a fruit fly trap. It sounded simple enough, and better yet, it's cheap. You can purchase ready made traps, but I'd rather save the $11.00
I have been using this remedy ever since I saw it on TV last year. It does work. I love fruit, and I haven't had a problem...not one pesky fruit fly.


What you need:

1. Apple Cider Vinegar
2. A small mug or condiment bowl
3. Dish detergent

Simply fill the bowl, 1/4 way with the apple cider vinegar and add 1 small drop of dish detergent. Place your bowl beside your fruit bowl or other food source that would attract the fruit flies. That is it. Done.
Here is an online article I've found and the only thing they do differently is they use plastic wrap and poke a few holes. For me, I have personally found this step to be unnecessary. The fruit flies are attracted to the aroma of the apple cider vinegar and the dish detergent makes it so they can't fly out.

All the best,
