How To Get Rid Of Fruit Flies With A Homemade Fruit Fly Trap


Anyone who has ever left a few bananas sitting out or forgotten to change their garbage to know only too well the problem with fruit flies. It seems that once they've invaded your kitchen, you can not get rid of them. You can clean scrub to remove tempting fruit and spray the trash can with disinfectants, but they keep coming back. You can not help but crawl, look at her.

We always had problems with fruit flies, is one of the main reasons that we live in an apartmentand recycling of law - must. Because where we live, we must keep our recycling containers inside until they are disposed of once a week. If the recyclables are not good enough to be used after cleaning, they provide an ideal breeding ground for fruit flies. They love bits of rotting food remnants and seem to thrive in even the smallest amount. When moving in the fruit flies, they just do not want to leave and to lay eggs and leave in on anything they can find - fruits and vegetables on the table,Sink drains, garbage disposals, empty bottles and cans, garbage bags, and even brooms and rags.

A few interesting facts about fruit flies:

- Can lay up to 500 eggs at a time

- Your entire life cycle is completed in about a week

- While primarily as a pest, they have polluted the possibility of food with dangerous bacteria

We all know that playing the removal to get rid of the food, the garbage and cleaning a big role, but we also know what it's like a piece of movingFruit and have a swarm of fruit flies in the air only for your attempts to escape, they kill. Where are they gonna go? Of course, those who can not easily fly around the captured or killed, they will stay until they are another place to lay eggs and the whole cycle begins again.

In all my experiments, I found the best way to detect and remove escape those who, it is a simple case with a glass slide and a piece of food to create. Here's how it works:

1. Get a littlejar, you do not plan to again (like a glass baby food or something similar) and wash it well. Make sure it's not a glass with a funky smell like a used glass pickle or something that need to use strong spices. You want a clean, odorless glass.

2. Take a piece of banana and inside the bottle. This is why a clean, odorless jar like - so that the banana smell will not be overpowered by other not so enticing smells. Banana seems to work best, but you can experiment.

3. Fita piece of plastic wrap over the top of the glass, making sure that it fits tight and well sealed around the edges. Then take a pen or pencil and put 4 to 5 holes in the plastic, just big enough to fit on a fruit fly. Once a fruit fly crawls, it can not escape. You'd think they would just fly out again through the holes, but they will not!

4. Place the glass in an area where you have seen, the fruit fly. Depending on the amount of fruit you have, you can expect to startYou see the glass filled within a few hours. After 24 hours, you will notice how bad your fruit fly problem is!

This simple, inexpensive and safe method works perfectly, and if you do not want to see the glass on the public, you can always slip it behind the trash can, or even in the cupboard under the sink (Just do not forget about it!). You want the jar every 3-4 days before any eggs have a chance to hatch empty. While adult fruit flies can not escape so easily,their maggots can very easily, and besides that - they are disgusting to see crawling around in the glass. You do not want them to see things crawling on your counter!

Clean the glass should be no problem. If you have a good heart, you can let them outside. Personally, I spray the little buggers with bug spray, wash the glass and start the whole process over again if I think there are still some fruit flies to collect on the left.

For bad fruit fly problems, you seeThis method will be good to use two weeks to make sure that you cover the majority of fruit flies. You may want to use even a few jars in different places. In brief, the kitchen will be back to normal.
