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.

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.

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.

Shows about 45 fruit flies: Her: "hundreds -- literally hundreds of fruit flies" 😂😂
Those flies eat meat as well! I forget to put some leftover fried chicken in the refrigerator and several days later those things laid eggs all over my leftover fried chicken as I saw their little maggots wriggled all over the leftover fried chicken! Those things eat anything!

Will this work for black flies?

It's supposed to be above the fluid level, otherwise the flies can't fly in. She just wasn't paying attention to what she was doing because she was making a video for TV.

It really isn't necessary to cut the bottle, just put the solution into the bottle, the fruit flies will find their way in just fine.

How many fruit flies have you caught? My point is that cutting the bottle is not absolutely necessary for it to work. And as for "something tells me" you really should not listen to that voice, it has caused you to make a false statement that appears to be ignorance at its finest.@@GrantSR
Didn't work AT ALL! Frikin flies where sitting right above it and didn't even think of going near it.. I gave up on this after 3 days.. Not a single one :((

I dont have apple cider vinegar
I accidentoy left some grapes in my bag (stupid i know) bit im going to try this and see if it works😊
Use sugar also
I have traps with apple cider vinegar and dish soap and the fruit fly doesn't get near it the fruit fly has been living longer than fifty days four months I tried spraying it with my bleach cleaner and it didn't work and it has been growing I'm worried because I have a baby guinea pig scratching his ear there is no way it could be laying eggs because there is no other fruit flys just one so I don't why the fruit fly would be bothering him

I think maybe you should Google "fruit fly" images. Fruit flies don't show up one at a time; it's usually 100 or more. These guys look like gnats; only 2 or 3 millimeters long. You might be looking at a house fly.

You're wrong. I left some vinegar (no water) with a drop of soap out on my counter, the next day I counted 30 dead fruit flies. Out of maybe one to two hundred that formed when I went on vacation and left fruit in my garbage can. I started leaving out 2 traps and they were all gone in a few days.

Any dishwashing liquid will work. Just don't overdo it. The idea is to break the surface tension so that once landing on the surface the little bugs sink at once before they have a chance to escape drowning by flying away.

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.

Dude fill your sink up with cider vinegar water. Dish soap drops and put a lamp over the sink where it’s directed to illuminate sink. Do it at night turn all your lights out, except for that one lamp. They will come to it
It’s not working for me
Gnats get rid of
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.

Doesn’t work don’t waste your time. Fly tape works better than anything else.
....but why did it take 10 minutes to get to the point? Jeeeez....
Humans dont be fools: *Dont use this methode anymore! You should not Kill!!!!* There is a better wy, get a cup or something and put in a fruit like a apple or cherry or some other fruit, make sure fruit is juicy, and put it in, then above aluminium foil, close it and make some holes, you can also use another foil than aluminium, then put it to the kitchen, dont add any soap or so, you dont need soap, and then use paper or something for the next day, be fast and put it on top of the cup when there is no fruif fly above and bring them outside and let them go fly away!!!*

They will fly right back into your house. No house is tight enough to keep fruit flies out! The only thing that keeps them out is to change the conditions that brought them in in the first place.
