This weekend I Had one of my little ones (Which shall remain nameless – aka 2 year old girl) :) Open a banana and leave it open, she was trying to get one off the bunch and we didn’t realize till about a day later she had even tried to open it when we had Fruit Flies flying around.
I obviously Googled “How to get rid of Fruit Flies” to find out what to do because that’s what you do right? And this is one of the simple solutions I came up with and it worked really well.
Place Apple Cider Vinegar in a Mason Jar and Warm in the Microwave for about 30-60 seconds.
Place a Funnel on top of the Mason Jar to create a trap.
Heating the Apple Cider Vinegar attracts the Flies away from the fruit and to the vinegar! So I just thought I would share my findings :) This is a great tip to remember if you have little ones that like to open your bananas when you aren’t looking.
It helps to add a few drops of dawn to the cider so when they go for the vinegar, they drown.
You don’t have to microwave it or have a funnel… We have a cup that we can trash and we set it near the fruit flies with apple cider vinegar and a couple drops of dawn… This seriously is a life saver! We can have absolutely no fruit, veggies, plants… Any thing in the house and we still get them!!
Haven’t heard of heating apple vinegar up first. I use the apple vinegar and dawn mixture also. We had an out break of fleas on our pets and have used that to kill them.
