How to make a simple fruit fly trap
Yield: 1 trap
Author: Melissa Haines

Materials

  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Dish SoapTape
  • A Sheet of Paper
  • An empty water bottle or empty cup

Instructions

  • Pour some apple cider vinegar into the bottom of your glass. You only need about one inch of vinegar
  • Add a couple of drops of dish soap and stir so the soap is distributed throughout
  • Roll your paper into a funnel, and use the tape to help secure it
  • Cut the roll down to make it only a few inches tall
  • Place the funnel with the narrow tip down into the neck of the water bottle
  • Seal the outside with tape.
  • The flies will travel down to the vinegar and won't be able to figure out how to travel back up the cone to escape.
