Pesky fruit flies

Do you have those tiny little fruit flies that you just can’t seem to get rid of? Here are a few suggestions to help you get rid of those pesky fruit flies.

The first suggestion is to inspect all your fruit and vegetables that are left out on your counters. There may be just one little fruit on the bottom that has started to rot, which will definitely attract fruit flies.

Another suggestion is to make sure to wipe down all your countertops and to keep your sink free from food particles. Fruit flies do not like clean surfaces.

The next suggestion is to make your own fruit fly trap. You can do this by simply filling a bowl or jar halfway with vinegar and adding a drop of dish soap. Then, secure plastic wrap on top with a rubber band and poke small holes into the plastic wrap. The vinegar will attract the fruit flies, and the soap will reduce the surface tension so that the fruit flies fall into the vinegar.

There are products and fruit flies available to purchase, but you may want to first try out these few suggestions to help you to get rid of your fruit fly problem.
