DIY Fruit Fly Trap

It never fails, without question, each year we get fruit flies that hang around for what feels like forever. They are pesty, they are gross and they multiply like crazy. So, rather than spraying poison all over your counter tops...here's an all natural way to say goodbye to these nasty little critters.

You'll need:

A jar (Mason jars work splendidly) 

A piece of paper

Tape

Apple Cider Vinegar

Pieces of fruit (optional)

First, fill a Mason jar or glass jar with Apple Cider Vinegar. I don't measure it, I just pour in a decent amount. (You want enough vinegar in it that the flies will get stuck and drown)

*Optional* You can add fruit or rotten food to the vinegar to attract more flies, although hear me when I say - vinegar alone WILL work.

Next, take a piece of paper and fold it into a cone, then tape it to the jar.

Now sit back and watch your trap work.

The smell of the vinegar draws them in, and then once they are in, they have a hard time getting out of the cone hole. Eventually they drown in the vinegar and your house is fly free.
