5 Easy Ways to Get Rid of Fruit Flies

Those pesky fruit flies are no match for you! Get rid of them once and for all with one of these 5 methods.

Let's do this!

1. POUR BOILING WATER DOWN YOUR DRAIN

This will kill adult fruit flies hiding in your drain and potentially kill any eggs in there too!

2. put apple cider vinegar in a cup with plastic wrap

Poke holes in the plastic wrap to get fruit flies in but not let them get out.

3.  apple cider vinegar + Soap + Fruit + paper cone

The soap makes it hard for them to get out, the fruit entices them and the cone traps them!

4. STALE BEER OR WINE

Fruit flies like the smell but the skinny necks on the bottles makes it hard for them to get out!

5. Sticky traps

I usually use these for plant gnats but they work perfect for fruit flies! Lay them down on ripe fruit and watch the fruit flies get stuck.
