To effectively eliminate fruit flies, create a funnel trap using a container with a small opening, bait such as apple cider vinegar, and a paper cone. Fill the jar with bait liquid, ensuring the cone does not touch it. Fruit flies are attracted to the sweet, fermenting bait and enter through the funnel but cannot escape. This trap works due to the acetic acid's scent, resembling ripening fruit, which attracts fruit flies. Adding dish soap can enhance its effectiveness by creating a bubbly layer that traps the flies.
The funnel trap for fruit flies uses a container with a small opening, bait like apple cider vinegar, and a paper cone that allows fruit flies to enter but not escape.
Acetic acid in apple cider vinegar and fermented beverages attracts fruit flies, mimicking the aroma of ripening fruit, making it an effective bait.
Adding a few drops of dish soap creates a bubbly top layer in the vinegar trap, which traps fruit flies more effectively.
The funnel trap is a simple and effective DIY method to control fruit fly populations using common household items.
