Put some apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar in a jar (I have even used baby food ones), add a few drops of dish soap to break up the surface tension of the water, shake gently and set out. So I decided to compare results and buy this http://bit.ly/1Gy10TX flytrap, I noticed that it works just the same! catches even other types of flies and I like that it lasts for weeks so I did continue using the product. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-59186404848318435162012-08-28T01:04:28.849-05:002012-08-28T01:04:28.849-05:00For Fruit Flies you can use your mosquito bottle m...For Fruit Flies you can use your mosquito bottle method with cider vinegar and 1 drop of dish soap, they simply can not help themselves!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099418619432302588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-30206133877808220962012-05-17T09:49:26.565-05:002012-05-17T09:49:26.565-05:00We had a whole troop here a few weeks ago!

I've tried the dish soap/vinegar in a shallow dish tip, but what I found more helpful was to take a banana peel and put it in a (glass) jar, place saran wrap over the top secure w/rubberband, then poke tiny holes in it (toothpick). They all found it, and I took it outside (far from the door) to release them.Rachelle Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680763165749938261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-80843269991346544622012-05-09T08:42:33.248-05:002012-05-09T08:42:33.248-05:00Perfect timing for this post as I've got fruit...Perfect timing for this post as I've got fruit flies in the kitchen!

I always use it when I'm camping and I'm about to open bars to just use all the time because it looks like the bugs are going to be extremely bad here because of the mild winter. Her blog is http://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blog/<br />and there is a link to her soaps. Go read about them. I have one good friend that has a daughter with allergies to nickle and a million other things and she has to get her soap from Amy because they just dont make anything on the shelves at the stores that she can use. Its crazy. And everyone I have sent her way has been very happy with their purchases. When we camp at some places where I cant shower I will wet my skin or the bar and just rub it on exposed areas - its that safe and not nasty smelling. Let her know I sent you if you are interested enough to order.autumnesfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04519475352289814754noreply@blogger.com
