3. Get Rid Of Fruit Flies
With Homemade Traps!
This is one of my favorite tricks. During the summer,
we always get a HUGE influx of bugs and
pests trying to make their way inside. Unfortunately,
that means that even the smallest crack is a point of
entry for the annoying little thing known as the fruit fly.
And if you see one, then there are a hundred
you’re NOT seeing. That tells me that I need to start
making some traps again. It’s very easy and you can
make them with household materials.
First, I like to grab a bottle of water. Preferably
from a brand with a weaker plastic, like Kirkland or
Crystal Geyser.
Then, I’ll cut off the top and invert it so that it forms
a funnel going into the bottle.
Next, I’ll grab some juice, overripe fruits, and some water.
You want to make a slurry of warm water, juice,
and fruits that you can leave at the bottom
of the water bottle.
Then you add a drop of dish detergent, put the
funnel on,
and tape the seams together.
