We bring a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables into this house, and along with that unfortunately also come the fruit flies. I can't stand those little buggers! Flying all around, landing on food you are about to eat, they are disgusting. I have been in combat with them for years, but not anymore. I finally found a solution that really works to get rid of them. It's simple, and only requires two ingredients I always have in the house - apple cider vinegar and Dawn dish soap. Pour about an inch of vinegar into a small bowl or ramekin and add a few small drops of Dawn. Mix together with a spoon and set the bowl(s) out on the counter and watch it catch them. The vinegar attracts the fly, the Dawn provides a layer on top of the vinegar, so once the fly goes in, it can't get back out.
My two ingredients.
I set one ramekin out by the fruit bowl, but you can hide them around the kitchen if you like. I use two of them, one on the counter and one on the island.
Just over night and BOOM baby caught one! After you have caught a few, change the solution and mix up some fresh bowls.
