DIY Fruit Fly Traps

Good Morning All! 

Everyone can agree that one of the major annoyances in life is most definitely the fruit fly! I can stand the little pests but we seem to get them all the time in our house since we always have fruit about...namely bananas since Xan loves them!

So after trying various pre-made, store bought traps we gave up and decided to try out some home remedies!  The best one that we have found works is below and it's something my Grandma Leila has been using for decades! And it's fantastic!!

Here's what you will need!

1 Mason Jar (I used a small shallow one)
Apple Cider Vinegar
Dish Soap
Put about 1/3 of a cup of apple cider vinegar into the jar, add in about a tablespoon of dish soap and swirl the mixture.
Place the trap wherever the flys seem to be the most and voila! The irritating little dudes LOVE this stuff and fall for it every time!

The below is from being out for half a day!
EWE!
Thank you Grandma for another successful home remedy!

Happy Fly Catching!
