Fruit Fly Trap - Best Homemade Fruit Fly Trap 

Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated.

Michael De Jesus i was planning on feeding the flies to my pet jumping spider

@@ericz8478 haha me too but years later and I have a lot of them and other spiders and T's

I was gonna ask..so how do they die?

Mohammed ali If you want to kill them you can fill the jar with water for a minute or two.

I couldn't imagine buying them and bringing them home, though I would watch the Frogs eat them

@@sonukoli8561 Thanks for sharing you knowledge

Thanks for the appreciation!

Sure, I tried it and found that it's the best as compared to other traps.

It works great,,, but depends on the number of flies in your house or surrounding.

Some may get out, but more and more try to go in.

No. Like a fish trap, they go in, but can’t seem to find their way back out!

Thanks for suggestion.

So how would they die

​@@annagutierrez4373put water and soap they'll die easily

Thanks

They can't go out side that easy.

Thanks for the appreciation

Thanks

Yes, but without attracting how would you handle them???

@@BirdyOfficial -- I think the point was that without *killing them* , once you've attracted them, you haven't really solved the problem. They can fly back out again. That's why the method using a liquid as the bait (typically apple cider vinegar) works better, since once they fly in and settle on the bait, they drown (it helps to add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar, to break the surface tension).

Thanks for telling,,, banana is their favorite.

It will certainly help in reducing the numbers of flies.

jackson dopp Thanks for liking!

thanks.

Thanks you too for watching and comment!

Would you still be of that view if bitten by a mamba, grabbed by a croc, swarmed by hornets ?

Im not getting on a bus and taking them on a day trip ! 🤣

No, there are separate trap for house flies.

After entering the jar they cannot go out easily. If you want to kill them you can fill the jar with water for a minute or two.

put in freezer for a few hours,repeat

Agreed, but if someone want to kill the flies he/she can dip the bottle in the water.

Are there fruit flies in your surroundings? Fruit flies are highly attracted to rotting bananas and if you place the rotten banana anywhere the flies will attract and the plastic wrap is not necessary at all, it just stops the flies to get out from the bottle easily.

Birdy Official Thanks for the reply ya there are too many fruit flies in my kitchen, some time back we left to our home town for 10 dsys leaving bananas open I started facing after we returned back home seems they have laid eggs at many places, actually i used this trap using rotten bananas it s attracting flies too but flying away may be this time I have to try with plastic wrap...

These are drosophila melanogaster commonly known as fruit fly. And there is also another type of fruit fly.

Hahaha

totally!

What is that ​@@muzix1575
