Fruit Flies

So we have had a nasty time with fruit flies. It always seems to happen this time of year. For many years I have LOVED Terro! The product worked great and all went well. However, over the years they changed something, or it has become less effective!

Soooo, I decided to try something a little simpler! And something I've used in the past. And much cheaper. I took some cider vinegar and a little dish soap (any brand - Dawn, Joy, etc.)

I put that in a dish (no need to mix) and within an hour or so I had fruit flies!

I've since had to put them all over the house.  I (sadly) pitched the Terro one.)

I will add that "newer" vinegar is not as effective as vinegar you've had around for a little while, but both work. The nice thing about this is that after a day or so you can dispose of the fruit flies and vinegar and then add new vinegar and dish soap! They do tend to last for about two days and then you need to change out the vinegar/dish soap.
