I’m having a terrible time this summer with fruit flies. I’ve been taking care of my aunt who is having chemo, and haven’t been home much. I accidentally left an overripe watermelon on my kitchen table, and by the time I discovered it, I had probably 1,000 flies. I’ve caught hundreds of them on sticky traps, but they just keep reproducing! It’s driving me crazy

I definitely believe that the fruit flies come in on the fruit, or at least the eggs do. So I scrub all fruit that comes in the house or rinse thoroughly things that you can't scrub like grapes or strawberries. Definitely cuts down the problem significantly

When using the bowl method I would recommend mixing glue and chocolate milk for it because it works great like that

i tried the first funnel one with apple cider vinegar. it did the job and was barely an effort. i forgot to mention. if the flies keep showing up. use a second trap. put the first one outside and put the new one in place until they stop showing up. that worked for me.

Cute tricks!! Try keeping your living area (residence) super clean. When throwing the wasted fruit away (after your done eating them), wrap it up in plastic wrap, make sure no trapped air, then discard. Fruit flies always come along for the ride-no matter what.

@niceguy6837

Жыл бұрын

So everyone is wasting way more plastic

I had success with a jar trap using a funnel made from a resealable bag and a rubber band. They like the smell of vinegar (hence their name, vinegar flies). I have used ACV, red wine or balsamic vinegar, and even leftover wine or tawny port. I find that keeping my fruit bowl in the fridge helps. I also freeze citrus fruits in pieces, frozen lemon in cold drinks and frozen oranges for a cool summer snack. Old bananas and berries can be frozen for baking or smoothies.

Thank Brightside; you always provide useful tip for good living.

Use a bowl, pour in acv only 4 or 5 tablespoons mix in some sugar, add 2 drops of dish washing liquid, stir.wrap with clear plastic wrap, poke tooth pick holes several, traps hundreds in one day, change out when needed....

Adding to the comment on keeping the fruit flies out of the kitchen, I'll say that I used the 50/50 wash of white vinegar and tap water. In the plastic container, after washing the bananas, were about five or six limpid, small, black objects that looked as if they were fruit flies.

They come to my home on fruit from the store. Spray with vegi wash or vinegar before bringing it inside. Air conditioning will stop the few from outside as they go right through screens. Or use the traps which are effective.

The bowl method with Apple Cider Vinegar is my favourite, it works like a charm.

Thank you so much for your helpful information you posted 4 years ago. So glad it's still here. The comments are helpful too. I have a fruit fly infestation in every room of my two story house. Even if you shake the artificial trees, tons fly out. Open the fridge, they fly in. Try to make a quick meal, they're all over it in seconds. I'm desperate and I'm going to try your recommendations today. I've been buying more bananas lately for my rabbit without realizing they're attracted to it and that I could be bringing fruit fly eggs home when I buy them. Thanks again! 😃

Another way to get rid of fruit flies is to get a styrofoam plate and some oil. 1.Add a little bit of oil to the plate 2.mix the oil around so it’s everywhere on the plate 3.Then if you see any fruit flies, swat them with the “oily styrofoam plate” and they will stick onto the plate I hope those instructions were clear 😅 I’m bad at explaining 😳

i had heard of the apple cider vinegar method and strange enough i have used wet cat food cans as my trap and plastic wrap with slit holes seems to work pretty good to the fork method. However don't use the freezing plastic wrap you know the non-see through kind as it seems to deter them buggers

Here’s where it gets rid of them for good, take the hoover hose and hold it in the air for about three minutes. Boom, works like a charm EVERY TIME!!❤️

I just cut up the last two containers of tomatoes from the garden. I put the culled pieces in a deep bag, left it on the island, and caught many of them when I closed and tied the bag. Tomorrow I'll do the bowl method to catch the rest.

Fruit fly trap-pour about an inch of apple cider vinegar in a 16 oz. glass. Add a few drops of dishwashing detergent. Add hot water to make it foam. Put it near the fruit or garbage can. The flies will land on the foam and be trapped. Make the foam again until the flies are gone. Make up more glasses of the concoction as needed.

I have a fruit fly problem in our bathroom and they don't stop coming. I tried the vinegar traps, but that only works temporarily.

I tried all of these, they work however vacuuming the fruit flies up works best. You'll look a little nuts doing it but totally worth it.
