Harvest time seems to draw a swarm of fruit flies into my kitchen, which I hate! I was getting driven to distraction with them. They are too tiny to swat and I don’t want to spray poison in my kitchen. So, Ammon rigged up a simple fruit fly trap for me that is working so well!
Here’s how:
1. Take an ordinary empty water bottle, and discard the cap.
2. Cut the bottle in half with scissors, about 2/3 of the way up the bottle.
3. Use masking or duct tape to close off 3/4 of the bottle mouth opening.
4. Slide the top of the bottle down inside of the bottom of the bottle, with the bottle mouth pointing down.
5. Secure with tape.
6. Using a funnel, pour a few tablespoons of vinegar in the bottle.
Set in any area where you have fruit flies and watch it work!
