This Trap is made by
putting a small amount of Grape, Apple, or other Fruit Juice in a small
plastic container with a hole punched in the lid. Fruit Flies will enter
the hole and be unable to find their way out, eventually drowning in the
liquid. Traps may be most effective when placed near Fruit.
Fresh Fruit and some Vegetables
(notably Tomatoes) are attractive to Fruit Flies. Fruit brought into the
home will attract these tiny flies which may buzz around your face if you
have eaten Fruit recently. They seem to appear as if by magic. The riper
the Fruit, the greater seems to be the attraction.
Vinegar is a good substitute
for Fruit Juice. Condiment containers, made for restaurants to serve Ketchup
and Sauces, make a great Trap. A drop of Dishwashing Detergent in the attractant
will cause the Flies to sink.
