Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 -2 drop liquid dishwashing soap (not odor eliminating)

Directions:

  1. Boil water in the microwave and add sugar. Stir until dissolved. Add vinegar and dishwashing liquid. Stir gently.
  2. Whenever we bring home fruit or fresh produce, I make a trap and place it right next to it.
  3. As they start to evaporate, I add a bit of water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to each trap once a week or so. I replace each trap every two weeks with a fresh one during peak fruit season.
  4. FYI:.
  5. I have found placing this solution in a see through bright colored bowl (such as the disposable children's travel bowls) works best. I also place it on a small plate to catch any spills, as this gets sticky. Fruit flies are also attracted to light - so placing in your window sill is a good choice. In addition to the obvious fruit they are also attracted to trash, dirty dishes, and diapers.
