Ugg .. we've got fruit flies this season. Lots of em! You ever notice how these guys dive bomb your face? Like an inch away all the time, and you can't catch them! Man, that's annoying! So here's the practical way to get rid of them.
The soda bottle trap:
- Remove the lid and label from a clean, empty plastic two-liter soda bottle.
- Carefully remove the upper third of the bottle by cutting along its circumference at approximately where the top of the label used to be.
- Put an attractive liquid such as orange juice or cider vinegar in the cup-shaped part of the now-severed bottle.
- Turn the cone upside-down and insert it into the cup-shaped bottom part of the bottle. Seal the seam at the top of the bottle with duct tape.
- Fruit flies find their way into the bottle, but they can't get back out. After most flies are trapped inside, simply seal the bottle in a plastic shopping bag and throw out.
I know ... a very Christ centered post, huh? I'm practical, too. Sue me :)
