Every fall it happens........ the fruit fly population explodes here on the Eastern Shore! I don't know if this phenomenon happens only here out in the country or if people living in the city also experience this problem when the weather turns cool. These little guys are everywhere! I have seen them coming through my screens in droves! My girlfriend recently showed me a neat trick she uses to trap them. Just take a small jar and fill it half full with apple cider vinegar. Then take a piece of plastic wrap and stretch it tightly over the top of the jar. Take a toothpick and poke it through the plastic all the way till you reach the thickest part of the toothpick. This ensures that the holes will be large enough for the flies to enter but they cant get out. Make sure you poke several holes in the plastic. I have caught so many flies using this trap! I just thought it was a great idea and I wanted to share it with you!
Have a blessed day!
