Ever have one of your kids come to you and let you know that someone put a banana in their bedroom garbage? Oh, and some oranges and apples in the downstairs bathroom garbage? Which they then forgot to empty?
The result?
A swarming mass of fruit flies. I hate these things. We got some in the summer with some fruit that came to our house. Fortunately, I came across this solution on the internet and guess what - it works!
I can't believe how quickly they get trapped in this. It is simply a jar with a piece of banana and a little apple cider vinegar. You then make a paper funnel, shove it inside and tape up the rim of the jar so nothing gets out. The flies can get into the funnel, but they can't figure out how to fly out. Once they're trapped, throw it out. Simple!
This is jar no. 3 of this round, and I think that is finally the end. Note to self - don't just assume they checked if their garbage needed to be emptied...
I absolutely hate fruit flies! They are disgusting to me. I'm glad to hear that this actually works!
