DIY Apple Cider Vinegar Fruit Fly Trap (This Really Works!)
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp liquid dish soap
- 2 jars
- plastic wrap
- parchment paper
Instructions
- Divide the apple cider vinegar and liquid dish soap between two jars.
- Wrap the top of one jar with clingfilm and punch a few holes in it.
- Set aside.
- Take the sheet of parchment paper and make a funnel or cone shape.
- Place the funnel into the opening of the jar.
- Place fruit fly traps in an open area on a flat surface.
Nice, it can work but I don’t think the cone funnel tip opening should be touching the apple cider vinegar – it should be suspended above it. They need to enter the jar area first to increase the likelihood of catching the flies by hiding the escape route.
