Fruit flies! They have invaded our house. They are crawling everywhere! All in our compost and everywhere else. So what do you do? Make a fruit fly trap! It was so much easier than we thought it might be.
Here's what you do: Take a jar. Put a few ounces of apple cider vinegar in the bottom. Those little buggers love the stuff! Make a paper cone and place it in the jar, small side down, big side sticking out of the jar. You might want to use a piece of tape to make sure your cone stays together.
That's it! They fly in and get trapped. If you like, you can take them outside and let them fly free. If you'll leave it too long, most of the flies will drown, which is ok too if that's what you're going for.
