Due to the heat today I am lounging around the house in air conditioning and thought I would post a useful household tip. I found this nifty trick to get rid of the pesky fruit flies that frequent my kitchen. To eliminate fruit flies all together you must keep all food tightly covered or in the fridge. Then you must clean up any food residue on the counters or floor. Finally you can make this simple concoction to attract the flies.
Take a clean glass jar and pour in 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Add 2-3 drops of liquid dish washing detergent and cover top of jar with saran wrap. Secure in place with a rubber band. Poke a few holes into the plastic wrap with a fork to allow the fruit flies to enter the jar. Don't worry they won't be able to find their way out.
The vinegar attracts the fruit flies and the dish soap ensures their demise. It works great and without chemicals.
