Got a fruit fly problem? Pour some basalmic vinegar in a small bowl (I used a clear pyres remekin (SP)). Put plastic wrap tightly over the top and poke holes in it. Place near fruit fly infestation. It will attract and kill fruit flies. I don't know if apple cider vinegar will work. I imagine it would. Probably would not use white vinegar. Too distilled.

Yeah! The apple cider vinegar has worked in the kitchen. It even caught a housefly! The ones that were flying around I just used my hand dirt devil to suck them out of the air. :)

I am so glad that we can give and get information on how to get rid of flies. Hopefully we will have a jump on next year with this. |

We are suffering from a fruit fly infestation here in Idaho as well. So glad to see these posts about traps... first thing tomorrow, I'll be putting them to the test. Thanks ladies!

Now that fall has come around MiaBella, do you have a plan for fly control next year, so you can have bananas?? |

I agree fruit flies are no reason to stop buying bananas. there has to be some fly prevention that will work for you. |

Michelle, Not buying bananas is not the way for getting rid of flies. Where are you going to get the potassium from if you don't get bananas? |

Darlene, if those methods didn't work on how to get rid of flies, here's another one that might work. A bottle with the acv mixture in it. Then make a paper cone, invert it and out it in the bottle. They get in but can't get out. |

My solution to the fruit flies: I stopped buying bananas.

No your not strange Hazel. I have a friend that bread crickets for lizards so not weird in my book.
Darlene, has that recipe help on how to get rid of flys? |

Yea, that's what they eat and it's about $10 a culture at the pet store, so it's easier just to grow them myself. I also have a worm farm and I breed roaches for my bearded dragon... Yes, I'm strange! Lol |
