Fruit Fly/Gnat Trap

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I bought Raid fly tape placed it up on the ceiling then waited a few hours and nothing. I looked up how to kill knats and found this site, with in minutes the damn things were in there. I made two and placed them on each counter an hour ago, I think all the knats in my kitchen are dead. Cheap and easy pest control, Thanks!!!!

    Fruit Fly/Gnat Trap,This will help take care of those fruit flies that gather around the stuff you have to take out to the compost pile or those bananas you haven’t gotten around to baking with yet. The photo I posted (the one with the cherry & grape tomatoes) shows several fruit flies on the paper already (and a couple are in the vinegar, though you can’t see them)–not even three minutes after making the trap! Some kinds of cider vinegar work better than others–typically, I find the darker the vinegar, the better it works. I know some people have said they prefer to use plastic wrap over the top, but I find that the paper cone (though it takes some fiddling to get it to fit just right) works best.,I bought Raid fly tape placed it up on the ceiling then waited a few hours and nothing.

Cheap and easy pest control, Thanks!!!!,I didn’t have any apple cider vinegar on hand and I didn’t want to wait to try this so used red wine vinegar instead. As I was putting it all together about 5 gnats were already trying to get in. I also struggled with the paper a bit so I taped it in place with a few pieces of tape. The next morning I think every gnat in the house was in that jar! I will continue to use red wine vinegar from now on I think it has a stronger fruit smell than the apple cider vinegar.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Pour Apple Cider Vinegar and Drop of Dish Soap Into Glass or Jar.

    2
    Done

    With the Paper, Make a Cone With a 3/4-1" Hole on the Bottom. the Cone Should Sit on the Glass Rim Without the Tip Touching the Vinegar. You May Have to Squeeze-Shape the Cone a Bit to Prevent Gaps Between the Paper and Rim.

    3
    Done

    Every Day or Two, Switch Out the Vinegar. (you'll See When It Stops Being as Potent. the Flies/Gnats Will Stop Going In.).
