Conquering fruit flies - what worked for me

[Guest guest]

It’s a two-fold approach. First, I found some coffee filters (single-serving,

cone-shaped things) laying around and place them over the tops of my jars, then

secure them with a rubber band. For my larger crock with the plastic ‘ring’

around the top but no lid, I folded a clean cotton dishtowel (not terrycloth) in

half, placed it under the ring, and put some weights on top. That keeps the

jars secure.

Then I took some delicious kombucha (about 1/3 C), put it in a shallow dish,

added a drop or two of dish detergent (to reduce surface tension), placed it on

the counter next to my brewing jar, the one with all the flies on the coffee

filter, and let the flies fly in to drown. One week later, no new fruit flies!
