How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies

 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.
