    It works better if the mouth of the bottle isn't touching the solution. That way they can't fly out once they're in.

    Made a cup of coffee with sweet creamer and didn't know I had a couple drops of my coffee on the counter. I went back to the sink and there's was a bunch apparently drinking the coffee. They'll eat it drink anything apparently. I know they are hungry because I've been depriving them of food.

    Drain flies can be removed by putting 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4 cup of baking soda (mix these two) in your drain, then add 1 cup of vinegar. Stopper the drain and flush with boiling water the next day. You may need to repeat this a couple of days. I usually add a squirt of Dawn or Lysol to the drain, after the dry ingredients, before the vinegar.

    If you do that and it do not help so much, it may not be fruit-flies but a similar looking insect with a similar life cycle living in and around indoor plants, they lay their eggs in the soil and can be very hard to get rid of, but you can buy maggots that you but in the plant soil that eat those eggs and stop the cycle.

    Ok, so for the past 3 years every summer I get the pleasure of going to war with these little bastards. The apple cider vinegar method does work but there are some important things to understand. 1) Flies only go into these traps if they have no other choice. No other option for food. Gotta keep kitchen, trash can, and drains crazy clean. 2) Clean the trap daily and put fresh vinegar in it. Otherwise, it will stop working. Also, not a bad idea to swap out baits from time to time. I found fruit juice to also perform exceptionally well. 3) Try to avoid putting loose food in your trash can if you can. Stuff things that are likely to draw flies into large air tight storage bags and then toss in the trash can. Makes starving them out much easier if you're already keeping the kitchen clean. If you can't keep loose food out of the trash can, double bagging your trash so any that may have started breeding in your trash can get trapped inside and can't get out to infest the outside trash can. This is important because if they infest the outside can they will just come into the house from outside. Especially when the trash is collected weekly. Hope this helps.

    You don't have to kill them. You can put a slice of lemon inside a tall glass (the taller the better) and lean a piece of card (to block them from seeing you when you catch them) on one side of the glass. When they are in the glass, slowly surreptitiously cover the glass with them inside while standing behind the card / from their blind spot and then release them outside your home. it helps to have a narrow top of the glass and to partially cover so there's less time used to cover the glass and for them to notice you. Try not to have them notice you otherwise of course they will learn the dangers. Try to take as many of your fruit flies in each evacuation for the same reason of less of them seeing the trap strategy. Clean your bin! Easy win. Do this at the beginning of the season so it doesn't become a problem.
