    I have a horrible time with fruit flies-even after taking food,etc. out of my kitchen-saw this on the internet and it works!- put some cider vinegar and a few drops of oil(vegetable,etc) in a bowl, cover with saran wrap,punch a few holes and leave overnight. You won’t believe it the next morning!

    This works too:
    Pour cider vinegar (about 1/2 to 1 inch deep) into a cup or bowl. Add a couple drops of dishwashing liquid. No need to cover with anything.

    Another apple cider vinegar trap… Put apple cider vinegar in a small bottle. Make a small paper funnel and insert it into the top of the bottle. Make sure the paper isn’t touching the vinegar. Let sit overnight where you see the fruit flys. They will enter the bottle through the funnel but can’t figure out how to get out through the small opening that is inside the bottle. Dumb flys!!
