We love to garden and frequent our local farmer’s markets. Without fail, as summer progresses we have a plethora of ripe tomatoes on the kitchen counters, we also have a plethora of fruit flies. Believe it or not, there is an easy solution! Easy DIY Fruit Fly Trap to the rescue.

Solution:

The Easy DIY Homemade Fruit Fly Trap Works!

The best part is that the solution is simple. 2 ingredients!

Gather your supplies: apple cider vinegar and a heaping spoon of sugar. Add the ingredients to a glass container. I suppose any container will work and then grab some plastic wrap.

Add a heaping spoon full of sugar to the bottom of the container.

Pour in the apple cider vinegar, filling about 3/4 of the container.  Then mix up the sugar & vinegar with the spoon.

Cover container with cling wrap making sure it’s tightly attached so the flies can get in but they can’t get out.

Important: poke a few holes with a sharp steak knife and then readjust cling wrap to ensure it’s tight to the container.

I had to see this with my very own eyes to believe that something so simple would work.
Change this mixture out every 3-5 days, the apple cider vinegar will start to darken, that’s usually when I change it out. I simply pour it right down the drain and start over until it quits trapping fruit flies.

This is after 3-5 days. It really works

Please tell me if you tried this and if it worked for you!

Pin for later- we promise you’ll need to use it!
