fruit flies -- yuck!

[megincl]

With summer has come the onslaught of fruit flies. I love fruit. Hate the fruit flies.

Any way to keep them at bay while still being able to keep fruit out to ripen?

help!

Put a little apple cider vinegar in a large jar--like a quart mason jar. Make a cone with a piece of paper and a piece of tape. Put it in the jar with the small opening down. The opening should be small, about the size of a pea. The fruit flies will fly in and can't/don't get out. Just change the ACV every few days.

Break out the vacuum or dustbuster and suck them out of the air. Works like a charm when you've got a big problem.

I put a small cup of apple cider vinegar with a squirt of dish soap in it on the counter. They get in it and then get stuck in the dish soap. Don't mix it, just keep the soap in a glob in the cup though or it won't work.
