I did the bottle trap and it worked ok with the banana peals then one evening I had forgot to empty the coffee grounds out of my coffee pot. The next morning there were fruit flies all in the grounds. I decided after seeing that I put the coffee grounds in the trap. In just a hr I had caught more flies faster than the fruit.
R. Dones did you have water with the grounds or how did you do it?
Did this really work. These pests are driving me crazy 😢😢
... fruit flies also known by their scientific name 'those miniature bastards ' !!!
MegaHockeypuck1 i fell asleep on my couch to realize those freaking things like to try getting on your face. I felt like vacuuming them all lol
I love this guy. Dude's awesome. Looks like Robin Williams.
His voice is calming, too, and I like his corny jokes! I can read people’s auras and this guy is an amazing person. I’m glad he had a RUclips channel for him to shine and share his personality with the rest of us!
Nixie is my stripper name
Instructions weren’t thorough. I lost my girlfriend in the trap this morning.
@Tran Truong Thanks for the smile, you're good. Uh actually bad for letting your girlfriend near it; I hope you managed to save her 😂😂
Hahaha 😂
I tried the spider route. then I got lizards eating my spiders. then I got a snake inside going after the lizards. I like your trap idea better !!
crosspecans - 😂😂🇦🇺😂😂
Get bullfrogs! Everyone likes bullfrogs!
ooh i see, fancy yourself a man of nature eh
If you add just a few drops of dish soap to the apple cider vinegar, then it creates a thin film on top of the vinegar which the fruit flies land on and then fall through. They are then trapped and can't try to fly out again. I make this in small 1 oz containers and cover with punctured cling wrap to make it harder for any to escape.
to hell with the humane bullshit just buy a few cans of TAT flying insect spray, they drop dead falling from the air it's sweet revenge
Does that work with coconut vinegar?
Another variation that I've found useful of this trap is to fill the bottom of whatever container I'm using (typically a small tupperware container) with 1/2 to an inch of apple cider vinegar (I've used regular and rice wine, those work too) and add a few drops of dish liquid to the vinegar and stir it around until it's dissolved. The vinegar attracts them and the dish liquid breaks the surface tension so they're sucked in and drown. Works like a charm.
Thanks for the feedback Sir! I have been getting a lot of "this didn't work" comments lately, but it's always worked like a champ for me. Thanks for letting me know that the trap hasn't lost it's touch. Still trying to figure out what those other folks are doing wrong...
Perfect timing. Its that time of the year here in Australia.
I made these with regular sized water bottles and it was a miracle! I was hosting woodstock for fruit flies in my kitchen. I made four traps, a new one each day until they were gone. I didn't have cider so I put little chunks of fruit in it that were very ripe. The hardest part was figuring out how to dispose of them afterwards.
I couldn't figure out why I had so many fruit flies around, considering there was NO fruit in the house or food on the counter. When you said they like to nest in the sink it made complete sense! I usually find them near the sink! I'm trying this the minute I get home! THANKS!
Genius. I love simple,easy, effective, and readily available!
That works really good, I didn't have any apple cider vinegar so I used a piece of almost rotten banana, it works!
Thank you so much for your video! Someone told me to use a water bottle, but I couldn’t envision it because I didn’t know where the vinegar would go if i “just cut a water bottle in half and flip it over” was the directions they gave me. Also, your voice is calming and I found you funny, too. Thank you, thank you! I’m definitely going to come to see other videos you post about the garden.
I loved the quote “we like to do things right around here.” YUP! I agree with you! If we’re going to do something, let’s do it the right way!
I tried plan B, now my house is infested with spiders... please someone... help me....
Oh there's only one solution now. Burn down your house.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WhatAreYouBuyen 😂😂😂
Just wait a bit, spiders are cannibals.
Peppermint oil and spray.
Red Whine with dish soap stirred a little. In a small cup. The soap keeps them in and drowns them.
It just has to be something that will attract the flies. Vinegar is good because most people have it in their cupboards.
White vinegar work??
Only apple viniger
1 dislike is from a group of fruit flies that worked together as a team to press the mouse button, and hit dislike
I have a ton of blue belly lizards that hang out near the fly traps and pick ‘em off before they enter their final destination 🤣 🦎
Instructions unclear. My kitchen is now controlled by a sea of spiders.
I tried making a trap this way but it didn't work very well. Since the bottle top didn't form a seal with the bottom where it was inverted, I had flies coming in and sneaking out the gap. The way I make fruit fly traps is similar and works on the same principle. I put apple cider vinegar in the bottle and if I have a piece of overripe or rotten fruit, I toss that in. I do not cut the 2 liter bottle. I take a piece of plastic wrap and cover the bottle opening. Secure it with a rubber band so the plastic wrap is tight. Poke a few holes with the tines of a fork. It's amazing how fast they will clear an area. I have several traps going at a time because of the season but also because of my parrot who eats mostly fruits and veggies.
Just tried this using a couple of apple cores, and it works just as well.
Before going on vacation i accidentally left a piece of food in my house, when i came back the kitchen was swarming with fruitflies, here is what i did. get a small open container, pour some applevinegar, a bit of water, and a drop of detergent to release surface tension, no need to stir,. First hour some had drowned but most were sitting on the edge. 1 day later i found 20+ flies on the bottom. Leave it there a couple of days and voila. Worked for me.
wow 10 years ago but its still a good trap it worked awsome
How bout having some fun and putting a spider in that fly trap? :)
This worked like a charm for me. In a matter of a few hours I had about 50-60 in my trap. Thanks, YourProduceGuy, you really helped me out! :-)
A bottle with a larger neck is going to increase the chances that some of the flies will find their way out. I would stick to a smaller necked bottle if you can find one. Ask your neighbors. They probably drink soda if you don't.
Good tip. I've used this trap in the past with great results. In fact, it was the ONLY way I found to quickly get rid of fruit flies.
Thanks YPG!
I got fruit flies! :( I Don't have apple cider vinegar. Is there any place you can buy apple cider vinegar?
Any grocery store
If you put a lot of vinegar will it be a bad thing
I've done red wine and soap. Give it a couple days. At first I thought it didn't work, then I noticed there weren't that many flies and when I went to rinse out the jar there were tons of flies! I no longer have a jar so I'll try this method next and see if it works.... I literally woke up from a random nap with my cereal bowl next to me with my lights on and saw all these gnats surrounding my bedroom lamp... talk about fear.
Thank you Mr. I will make my own trap for the flies.
Hi Y.P.G,
That's how we get rid of them fruit flies organically...this method I learnt from my uncle, few months ago and it works great. Though, the vinegar i use is aged home made vinegar, which has a very potent smell, similar to that of gasoline. I distribute a bunch of soda bottles around the orchard, to control the fruit fly population on my Psdium's trees, which are truly a magnet for the fruit flies. This method is also commonly used throughout the Island(Madeira).
great job and funny too! how about using the cap and punch 3-4 pea size holes in it? I think that will reduce the chances for them to escape. just a thought. thanks
They won't find their way in as easily. May work, depending on size.
Your neighbors bringing fruit, your moms bringing fruit, you dogs bring fruit...
I use generic ACV for my fruit fly traps(and it works just fine), and I use my Bragg ACV for myself, those pesky little jokers doesn't deserve my expensive Bragg, not 1 drop of it...ALL MINE...lol.
Your method like alot. It looks easy and I'm sure it is effective. I about to get a couple of traps started. Thanks for the video
Nice video sir.
I looked up a trap and made one different because I did not have a bottle.
If you do not have a 2 liter bottle:
-have a jar or some type of bottle with a thin neck.
-if the neck isn't thin enough, roll up some paper and funnel it in the neck of the jar/bottle.
-add some rotting fruit to the apple cider vinegar.
-add a bit of dish soap to break the surface tension to help drown the flys
I think I will try the spider method lol👍
I tried something similar and it works great!
Love the video!
Hey, I was hoping you could talk about Pommel. I just got one, and the store attendant told me not to eat it while it's green but I'm not so sure that he's right. So when is the grapefruit like fruit ready to eat?
Excellent presentation!
He should add some liquid soap as well
Quick efficient way to get rid of fruit flies!!!!
What about gnats....will that also work on getting rid of them?
Mine dint seem to care for the cider vinigar. I was told to try beer somewhere else. I may try that next.
Beer? Oh, the waste! Oh, The horror!
I used balsamic. It smells kind of winey. Plus I add a little vodka. They are very attracted to ethyl alcohol.
I used wine- Chardonnay. Worked good to.
Thank you Sir :D
Thank you for this video. This looks like it will work and the container looks pretty good too. Thanks again.
I like to add a strip of fly paper around the upside-down lid. Sadly, can't get the good old yellow strip kind anymore; the white kind doesn't work well but must be cheaper to make.
I tried vaseline around the edges, but those smart fruit flies just avoid it. Dang. But it does force them to fly lower and closer to the nectar annihilator.
I pour boiling water down my drains to scald the little beggars to lights-out land.
Amazing Job. I've tried this, and it gets kind of scary of how many get in there. But now they're all GONE! Produce FTW
this apple cider works great for getting them.. I've done it!
Best and easiest solution ! Thanks
This couldn't have come at a better time! I'm going crazy here!
We get them esp with overripe bananas. Could use other size of bottles?
Thanks for the tip. This worked great.
this reminds me of a homemade bong lol
mah man. is it gravity bong? im so high right now i decided to get rid of these fucking fruit flies. like these fuckers just radomly spawns in my house. fuck these species man.
Great idea gonna try it. Your right Produce Guy about the flies in the drain I turn on the water and some fly out. Gonna get a liter bottle soon. thanks
Testing right now. Threw in two halves of strawberries in there just for good measure. Will post results in a few days.
I really have to try this gosh
hey i have some strange flies in my room but dont seem to ever see them although i can sometimes fell them on hitting my legs. what can i do about it and what could they also be?
Flee from that house n burn it down . No more flies
Thank you so much for this! It was very informative (as usual).
Thank you for your video. Question. Where can I place this gadget without it "scratching" at my eyes? A bottle like this would catch my eye constantly, however, I'd prefer the look of the bottle over free flying fruit flies anytime.
Where is the best place for this wonderful trap?
Probably in your kitchen, next to a trashcan or where you throw away the food
Can't wait till summer to try this.
you dont need cut bottle folks , just made small cross 1cm cut with olfa knife and push hole with finger inside , you made it at least 5 holes around bottle , just pour the juice or something sweet , close the bottle and place the trap , this is simple and it works !
I put cider vinegar in a very small bowl, and added a little detergent. Works just as well -- or better. The detergent prevents surface tension on the top, and as soon as the flies reach the vinegar they drown. I think it worked faster than the trap, though that is working as well.
I use balsamic vinegar with a little cheap vodka. The acetic acid in the vinegar and the alcohol in the vodka makes it irresistible. Within a couple of minutes they will already be crawling around inside. I make a trap exactly like this with a soda bottle.
ok we have no vinegar so I've opted to put some fruit juice and the actual fruit to see if they go in there. (tangerine and grapes)
Patricia de Souza forget that, got some gone off red wine turned vinegary and it worked. also good for cooking chicken if u want. they are too smart for the bottle trick.
'Having trouble finding Apple Cider Vinegar here in the UK, what's the next best thing to use as bait? Apple Cider or Vinegar?
Thatz a great idea, so is it just for fruit flies or can I use it for other type of flies
THESE FLIES ARE CARNIVOROUS!!!
Great tip. I am going to try this for sure.
that makes sense about the drain i sure do have them in my bathroom hate those adrn things this is what i'm going to use thank you
This method perfectly work for me :)
Yeah right 😼 Wying
i like this guy. watched the entire video even though i knew this trick. a side note, drain flies and fruit flies are different creatures. if you have fruit flies, no need to worry about the drains.
Works awesome! Thanks!! Saved our kitchen :)
Thank you sir , is it work with all kind of fruit fly
Thank you, this sounds like it should work great. And I'd just like to say you're very charismatic.
Lookin for some D ^^
If*
Around here we refer to those giant grapefruit-like fruits as Pomelo, or sometimes Pummelo. They can be eaten when green, but I would want them to be at least turning yellow and not a 'dead' green color. The flesh should not carry the bitterness of other grapefruits, but man...are those skins on them thick! Enjoy the fruit and let me know how it is.
I have many varieties of Tropical fruit trees and these fruit flies have attacked all varieties of Mangoes, Guava, Water apple, Sapota etc.
I try my best to collect the fallen fruits. I used Metyly eugenol which is also present in Basil leaves. So sometimes I crush basil leaves and they get attracted.
Thank you for posting, I will try your Idea,
Namaste,
I am from a place 120 km North of Mumbai, India
Very good video,thanks for the information
I'm going to make one now, thanks for the tip.
Love Mr. Lego heads wig here.
so b/c I eat mostly fruits & vegetables I have had a major infestation of fruit flies, I love this trick & I did it 4 days ago. What a difference! I made more than 1 & while there are still a few of them flying around I am pleased for the most part. I simply took 3 jars, put apple cider vinegar and dish detergent in it cover it with plastic wrap & poked tiny holes.
Thanks
How can I adapt for outside use?
Can i use an ordinary vinegarACV in our place is too expensive
So how long should it take before I start seeing the fruit flies gather in this trap?
I will try it !
i love it ! thanks
Thanks for the tip btw! I'm personnaly using a bowl with pierced saran wrap on top and an eaten fruit inside(apple core for exemple) they just love it but they don't die... gotta put them in the microwave a few seconds..
I might have to try this tip out..
Soapy hands works great too.
I used a plastic pitcher and a large ziplock bag, cut off one of the corners, wrapped it around the pitcher and shaped it like a funnel, works just as good..
Nicely Done! Thanks
This is so perfect thank you
Brilliant Idea!!
great tip will try it
Well i used your second suggestion and went with the spiders.. so now i have a spider infestation, THANKS A LOT ProduceGuy...
Finish the trap by stapling the two cut ends together and place near fruit tree, or hang in tree...
THIS MAN IS A GENIUS.. MY NEW IDOL
thanks for the tip. its done and ready for use :)
