fruit fly trap

[Guest guest]

I have great success with either of these methods:

(1) Take a small plastic container (something you don't mind throwing away), put

in some ripe banana slices, cover container tightly with plastic wrap and poke a

few slits in the top with a sharp knife. The flies are attracted to the sweet

banana, fly in and can't get out. Once your infestation is under control - throw

the whole thing out.

(2) Take a beer bottle and fill it a third of the way up with strong kombucha.

Make a cone shape out of card stock and insert the smaller end into the top of

the beer bottle - secure it in place with tape. The fruit flies go into the

bottle and again, can't get out. I keep one of these sitting next to my kombucha

brewing area all the time. And I rarely see a fruit fly hovering over my

precious brews.

Good luck!
