Let’s fix it Fruit Flies is an important tip from the Dirty Laundry Kitchen common kitchen problems. Don’t be embarrassed that you’ve got flying critters in your kitchen, it’s sort of normal depending on time of year, and it probably just means that you’re buying all the right stuff. Fruit flies are common in August especially, a problem for those of us with lots of produce on the counter because we’re making lots of farmer’s market hauls in the bounty of Summer. The common problem isn’t a big deal because I’ve got just the “solution” for you. Gotta love the science puns, right? Aside from setting this on your counter, you should probably put all produce in the fridge and Let’s fix it Fruit Flies will get rid of the rest. Truth? I actually find a certain level of glee in checking my traps and seeing how many little fruit flies are in there and I think back to school and Mendel’s Punnett squares. No which was dominant? Red-eyes or black-eyes? What can I say? I just can’t resist a little kitchen science experiment.
½ cup apple cider vinegar
2-3 drops dish soap
juice glass
10 gallons cold-hearted desire for dead fruit flies
I will try this! Normally I just put everything in the refrigerator and forget about it.
I’m trying this! I like the fruit room temperature, and the husband hates the fruit flies!
I just put this out on the counter. I truly hope it works!! Thanks for posting!
I whipped this up about 8 mins ago. I already got 2 and there are two more hanging around the edge of the bowl just waiting to fall in. Success!
