The best fruit fly trap is a container of vinegar with holed plastic wrap.

The best fruit fly trap ever.

The image says it all… Just cover any container of vinegar (apple cider vinegar used here). Cover with plastic wrap and stab it a few times with a small knife of fork.

Humane Trap: The fruit flies can live in a social orgy and while they may not escape, they can still live out some semblance of life in there. I even add fruit for them to land on.

This trap can be made from empty cans and garbage… There is no excuse for having fruit flies in your home. Keep a trap like this going all year long. Atop the cupboards or out of sight.
