Drowning Fruit Flies


With fresh fruit and working wine in the house, the fruit flies were having a hey day and were driving me crazy. I went online to see if there was an answer to my dilemma. Well, there was and it actually works. Fill a short glass about 1/3 full of cider vinegar. Then make a paper cone, leaving a small hole in the top. Tape the cone to the glass and watch the fruit flies gather. They enter the hole to sip the goodies and can't get back out. It does my heart good to see those drowned flies building up in the bottom of the glass!

A plastic milk jug with a small dime size hole near the top will also work;) I hate those little buggers also so very annoying.
