How to get rid of drain flies in your home with a chemical-free fruit fly trap? 1st let’s discuss about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a big issue with these solutions: they don’t work very good. In addition your bar will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work most of the times: Attract the Flies with Rotten Fruits! Fruit flies love rotten fruits due to the smell of fermentation. Place a piece of rotten fruit into a container or bowl then cover the container with a plastic wrap. Poke a few tiny holes into the plastic wrap. The gnats will fly in and get trapped inside the container. Sticky fly traps, such as the yellow sticky trap, works really well for people who are dealing with serious fruit fly infestations. Place several of these traps around your kitchen and bathroom. There’s no way for the flies to escape once they land on the sticky surface. These traps may also help you eliminate other common household pests like fungus gnats, pantry and clothes moths, and white flies.
But the issue is that, very often, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the very bad smell from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and powerful liquid – it’s just not ok having that available in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Fruit flies may not love anything more than fruit, but if they had to pick a second favorite, it would be sugary beverages. Fruit flies will get at the last dregs of a coffee, soda, energy drink, or even water no matter where you hide them. Your trash and recycling bins aren’t safe from their terrible thirst. Before recycling any cans, cups, or bottles, rinse them out thoroughly with water from the sink. Then, dry them. It might feel silly to essentially wash something you’re throwing out, but you’ll be doing the fruit flies a favor if you don’t.
We are a husband and wife duo operating a small business in a small town just 30 minutes south of Boston in Pembroke, Massachusetts. We love hiking – in the above photo, we were at the Montezuma Castle. I love smoothies and Acai bowls, so there’s always a few organic bananas in my fruit bowl. No matter how clean I keep the house, a few fruit flies still find their way in my home buzzing around the bananas and other fruits. They are an annoyance! I tried using apple cidar vinegar and dish soap – and they work great, but the ACV has a very strong smell, and they just don’t look very nice in home…..And the kids have “accidentally” spilled them once or twice. Definitely not fun. Discover extra info on Get rid of drain flies.
