Fruit Fly Trap Recipes
FRUIT FLY TRAP
I came up with this inexpensive recipe after several attempts to get rid of these pesky critters. They breed very quickly and it's best to get a handle on them ASAP. This recipe is a combination of several recipes and I have found this to be the best! Let me know what you think. We had a bucket of Margarita Mix that unleashed quite a few of these in our house when we opened it.

Steps:
- Boil water in the microwave and add sugar. Stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and dishwashing liquid. Stir gently.
- Whenever we bring home fruit or fresh produce, I make a trap and place it right next to it.
- As they start to evaporate, I add a bit of water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to each trap once a week or so. I replace each trap every two weeks with a fresh one during peak fruit season.
- FYI:.
- I have found placing this solution in a see through bright colored bowl (such as the disposable children's travel bowls) works best. I also place it on a small plate to catch any spills, as this gets sticky. Fruit flies are also attracted to light -- so placing in your window sill is a good choice. In addition to the obvious fruit they are also attracted to trash, dirty dishes, and diapers.

- The Easiest (and Least Effective) Method: The Wine Bottle. Let’s start with the lowest lift: simply leaving the dregs of one’s wine out in a bottle with a little bit of dish soap.
- The Most Complicated Method: The Paper Cone in a Jar. The second method I tried used a classic Mason jar as the trap. (Three of these methods use a jar; you can use a Mason jar or a cleaned-out spaghetti sauce or peanut butter jar.
- The Ugliest (and Weirdly Ineffective) Method: The Plastic Wrap-Topped Jar. The third method stuck with the jar but instead of topping with a weirdly difficult cone, you top the jar and bait with a cover of plastic wrap.
- The Most Classic (and Our Winner) Method: The Jar with Holes in the Lid. To be honest, our final method (and our hands-down winner) was the one I was also most dubious about.

- Apple Cider Vinegar, Glass, & Plastic wrap. For this homemade fruit fly lure, put three or four tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into a glass or jar.
- The Wine bottle trap. This method is the easiest to set up, however, we found it also to be the least effective. If you’re a wine lover, this is ideal as you’ll already have an empty wine bottle lying around.
- Paper cone in a jar trap. This method requires a mason jar, plain paper, and some juicy bait such as apple cider vinegar. Have a look through your pantry or kitchen for a mason jar or alternative such as a peanut butter jar, pasta sauce jar, or any other condiment jar you might have.
- Beer trap. Yes, you read that correctly….we said beer trap not bear trap. Pour about half a cup of your least favourite beer into a jar or glass, leave the glass without a cover.
- Fresh basil. It’s been recorded that fruit flies can’t stand the smell of fresh basil. So try keeping a basil plant next to your fruit bowl, or even a few basil leaves underneath your favourite ripe fruit.
- Mason jar with holes in the lid. This method involves using a Mason jar, but this time keeping the lid on. Using a hammer and a nail, punch a few holes in the lid.
