Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Make sure your kitchen counters, sink, and table are clean and dry.
2

Throw away the offending fruit that attracted or transported the fruit flies to your home by wrapping it in multiple layers of plastic bags. You can use leftover bags from food containters, such as bread bags, if you want to be green.
3

Fill a shallow bowl or clean peanut butter lid with apple cider vinegar. Wait 24 hours. You will find that the fruit flies are attracted to the vinegar and drown in it while attempting to drink it. Dispose of the trap! Oila, your kitchen is free of fruit flies. Yes, vinegar DOES attract more fruit flies than honey. This method is safe for you, your pets, your children and the enironment, and is more effective than chemical sprays.
