Fruit Flies
Every year at some time I have to make a fruit fly trap.
A wide mouth jar, cider vinegar, and a cone of paper.
I made this one and within an hour I had fruit flies trapped.
Yes, every year. Canning season seems to just draw them in. I like your trap. Mine is similar, a small jar of cider vinegar covered with plastic wrap with holes punched in it. Works very well.

I don't usually have them in the house. But good idea

...great idea.
Simple is usually best.
We had an infestation like that a few years. After the neighbours left, the flies eventually disappeared after we used a similar trap.

I'll try it!
Who would have thought?
