Get rid of fruit flies in your house with a eco friendly nontoxic bug trap

How to eradicate the fruit flies in your home with a natural nontoxic bug trap? First let’s discuss about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a big problem with these solutions: they don’t work very good. Additionally your restaurant will smell very bad!

Urban legend that doesn’t work very often: Drown the Flies with a Candle Trap Setup! This fruit fly trap only requires a candle. When it gets dark, place a candle on a tray or bowl filled with water then set the tray next to the fly-infested area. Next, turn off the light so that the only light source in the room is the candle (close the curtains to block outside sources of light). This homemade trap will kill the gnats in two ways. First, any fruit flies that get close to the candle flame will get theirs wings burnt and fall to their death. Second, some flies may avoid the actual flame and instead go for the reflection in the water. They won’t be able to escape once they land in the water (adding a few squirts of dish soap will make it near-impossible).

But the problem is that, very often, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the very bad odor from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very strong and pungent liquid – it’s just not ok having that available in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Clean the counters and desks: Fruit flies don’t need much to survive and thrive. A crumb here, a spill there, and they’re more than content to subsist indefinitely. If you want these winged terrors to pack up and hit the road once and for all, you’re going to have to deprive them of even that. If you aren’t already, you’re going to have to scrub down your desk every day. Take out your personal trash, too. When you’re done with that, make sure the kitchen is nice and clean before you leave every night. Even if it was someone else’s cleaning week. Yeah, yeah, we know: it’s not fair. But fruit flies don’t play fair, and neither can you. You’ve gotta hit them where it hurts, and where it hurts are those crumbs leftover from the ham sandwich you had for lunch yesterday.

We are a husband and wife duo operating a small business in a small town just 30 minutes south of Boston in Pembroke, Massachusetts. We love hiking – in the above photo, we were at the Montezuma Castle. I love smoothies and Acai bowls, so there’s always a few organic bananas in my fruit bowl. No matter how clean I keep the house, a few fruit flies still find their way in my home buzzing around the bananas and other fruits. They are an annoyance! I tried using apple cidar vinegar and dish soap – and they work great, but the ACV has a very strong smell, and they just don’t look very nice in home…..And the kids have “accidentally” spilled them once or twice. Definitely not fun. Discover additional info on Get rid of fruit flies in your bar.
