Just pour half a cup of apple cider vinegar into a glass or cup. Leave it somewhere out of the way, like a window ledge or off to the side. Sit and wait.

We do this and it does help. My daughter uses a Greek yogurt container - just an individual size and fills it with vinegar. You will see the fruit flies going to it and it does get some. A big help that's easy to do.
Yet another use for vinegar!
Wow, I learned something new today! Thanks for this information.
I do this and it really does work. I have a plant that is a magnet for these suckers. I put a little bowl in the plant and bam, they're gone.
Thanks so much for this!! I get these darn things all of the time and I don't leave any fruit out!! I am doing this right now.
:) Sometimes the old solutions are best!
I wish I'd known this when I had a fruit fly problem in my house! I'll have to keep it in mind in case that happens again.
Wow yet another purpose for vinegar. I love it - every house should have vinegar - cleaning - your house and your body - fruit flies all kinds of uses for vinegar. This particular one I had no idea of!
I love finding easy natural ways to cure problems like this. I get nervous using chemicals around my kiddos so this is great.
Yet another good use for good old vinegar. There is really no need to buy any other item...vinegar does a lot of work at my house!
Never leave your fruit out for a long time you will find visitors invading your kitchen.
I tried this, but we must have had the super breed because they would hang out on the rim of the glass but not go in and drown. I also tried the method with some kind of funnel (because they're supposed to be attracted to the vinegar, go through the funnel, and then not be smart enough to find their way back out through the opening). Again, they walked around the surface of the funnel, and never went back in. My husband was convinced they were just breeding on it ;) I ended up just putting all the fruit in the fridge and within a few days they disappeared! I don't really like my apples to be that cold, but I dislike the fruit flies everywhere even more! ;)
I had a Fruit Fly infestation last year, it was so bad I was catching them with my hands and throwing them into soapy hot water. I searched Pinterest, and I found something similar, but i think it said add a few drops of Dawn soap, and it worked perfect. :)
I love finding useful information where I least expect it:) |Thanks!!
I have done this and it is very effective!
