How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies

Ingredients

• apple cider vinegar (1 cup)
• dish soap (2 drops)

Instructions

1. Identify the fly to ensure you're dealing with fruit flies and not other types like fungus gnats or drain flies.
2. Use deterring scents like peppermint, lavender, or eucalyptus. Hang dried herbs or use essential oils in a diffuser.
3. Change dishcloths and sponges regularly to prevent fruit flies from breeding on them.
4. Keep the kitchen clean by removing crumbs and spills that attract flies.
5. Toss out any rotting fruits or vegetables immediately to prevent egg-laying.
6. Cover fruit bowls with a cake dome or plastic wrap to keep flies out.
7. Wash all produce before storing to remove any fruit fly eggs or adult flies that may be present.
8. Set up traps using apple cider vinegar and dish soap in a jar as bait.
