LMAO
Sis I’m almost there!!! Idk where they are coming from !!!!!!!!!!
🤣😂🤣
"It got so bad we didn't want to cook in our kitchen." UGH I feel you. That's exactly where I'm at now.
Oh my gosh!!!! I hated that part!!!! LOL
RottingLegend. omg this is what im dealing with smh
Sara Morgan I hope that you get the raid fly sticks and fill the bottom with wine. I hope that you can get rid of them soon. They almost drove me crazy!!😩
+Ethnic Mamma I just wanted to confirm how amazing these raid fly sticks are. I got six of them and put them in the kitchen, bathroom, around the house along with some fly strips and they are basically all gone. I see one or two occasionally but I can now cook dank meals again.
RottingLegend Thank you so much for letting me know! That is amazing!!
I'm about to get me some of these cause I've got those little fruit traps from the store and using the jar method. They are just walking around the traps like its a social gathering
Yes, I know what you mean!
Rightt
@@AEON. what a great idea!!
think they are just inhaling the fumes of the vinegar, no need to go into the trap
Exactly lmbo
We are having fruit fly armageddon right now, ugh!! I need something that actually works. Thank you for sharing this! UPDATE: these fly sticks with wine poured in the bottom worked so well!! We had them all finally gone after 2 days! Before we tried the sticks, nothing we tried worked. Thank you again for making your video ❤️❤️❤️
X c XX-%z
Also, props for posting this. So many people would have been embarrassed but let's be real. Everybody deals with this stuff and like I said depending on your home & pets it can make it so much harder. Excited to try these. Going to get them & put them out today!
Whats it called?
Yes!!! The wet cat food was what started the whole nightmare. They migrated to his litter tray because I used pellet litter.
I switched to dry food and clumping litter and it calmed down for a day. The next day I noticed a lot more fruit flies hanging out in my apartment. There was a piece of breaded chicken stuck in the crack of the oven and, I kid not, thousands of fruit fly larvae and live flies had infested my oven.
I turned that oven on and fried them all to death. Man those things are persistent.
@@xAsiyah watch two channels called truthunedited and shattered paradise and the spiritual servant
The wine does make a difference. I left these out for 2 hours with no bait and I only caught 1. After putting some cooking sherry in the bottom trays I had about a dozen stuck on each one (I used 4 ) in 10 minutes. This is really good advice!
I’ve been obsessed! I finally got rid of them, but I will definitely purchase one of these traps. I don’t want to ever see a gnat in my house.
*Other Tips:*
Find the source: In some cases, try to see where they are populated. Follow the odors. Throughly clean out areas where you keep fruits and vegetables. A lot of people discover that it’s from a sack if potatoes. Determine if they are coming from your indoor and outdoor trash cans.
*Refrigerate*
If possible, refrigerate fresh fruit and vegetables. Do this until you alleviate the problem.
*Plants*
Do not overwater your plants. If you can’t find the source, place house plants outside.
*Burn Incense* In small areas. After getting rid of the gnats, carefully burn incense. The can’t stand smoke.
*Clean Your Drains* Close the drain openings to determine if the gnats go away. If you have drain flies, use a product like liquid plumber or vinegar and baking soda, wait 10-20 minutes . Rinse with hot water. Other use borax or bleach. Do the above 2-3 times.
*Clean* clean cabinets, drawers, trash cans, counters, tables, corners, and cabinets. Clean near damp areas like the sink & washing machine.I use bleach, others claim that lemon or vanilla scented cleaners repel gnats.
*Get Rid of Boxes and Paper Bags* They are nice to have a few, but they love dark and damp areas.
I'm up at 6am trying to figure out how to kill these fruit flies. Thank you for posting this.
I am happy to help! Good luck!
I'm having the same problem smh.
I'm up at the same hour doing the same thing. That must be the time for battle!
metatechnologist You are welcome!! This method should really help you!!
I think that it is!!!

C’Erra's How to where did you buy the traps
you are a literal life save. these things were about to have me burn my whole house down. it was like every time I would sit down, they fly right in my face, I go to the bathroom and they flying around my head, and once they started appearing in the kitchen.... oh boi....
long story short, thank you
This is comedy
@@RAGINTIDE thank you.
This is great news. Thanks for the tip. I also found out that some of them are not fruit flies. They're fungus fli es that comes from watering plants. They lay eggs in the dark moist dirt. I looked on RUclips & found that if u put a layer of fish tank gravel on the top soil, they cannot penetrate the gravel & die. It worked. No more fungus gnats. Went to Walmart & purchased a bag of black gravel for about 5.00. These 2 ideas work.
Bruh I had to pause the video when she said “The vinegar traps made em stronger!” 😂 But for real though it is annoying to see them hanging out ontop those vinegar traps like it’s some kinna club.
😂😂
I tried the apple cider vinegar method and only caught a few flies. Bought a sticky trap and in about a day it worked like a charm. Don't really see those little buggers around anymore. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I am so happy that this method worked!!!! Yay!!! Thank you for the feedback!!!! Please tell others about me video!!!!
I bought the sticks from Walmart but NOT EVEN 1 attached. Plz help! I can see them flying around me and I’m so frustrated. I’ve tried the ACV and wine method , still nothing . What can I do
Elle J leave sum spoiled bananas by em and let em get spoiled
+Elle J Go to home depot. Walmart ones were probably imitations
I want to thank you SO much for suggesting this. After days of trying the stupid vinegar traps, there seemed to be more of these M-Fers showing up around the house. You explained this perfectly why this doesn’t work! I went out and bought a few packs of these suckers, and they seem to be working really well! Fingers crossed this gets rid of them for good 😩
i think dish soap is supposed to break the surface tension so that flies can't stand on the surface of the liquid
Thanks for your input!
Yep, you're exactly right!
It also poisons them
Then drown
@The Last Crusader
Wow kinda harsh. She's sharing what did and didn't work for her.
NAIL ON THA HEAS SIS!..... I did this 2 days ago after watching your video.
I had gone out of town for a few days came back I had a swarm of those jokers flying around. I bought 6 raid foggers and bombed my apartment with them. They killed a lot of them but not enough.
I knew about the apple cider vinegar but nit this. I had some distilled vinegar but no channel suggested it's use. So instead of doing apple cider vinegar I did this just like you said. I put one in every room a 2 in the kitchen. And GIRL, This right here! Worked better than apple cider vinegar could ever have. In fact most were gone within an hour and believe me after fogging I still had a lot of them. 2 days, NONE! NONE!NONE!
I am happy this worked for you sis!!!
🤣 🤣 🤣 lmao
@@tdollacc7608 hell no.
Glass with Apple Vinegar at the bottom and a drop of dishwasher liquid covered by plastic wrap with holes collect a lot of flies. It works!
I'm going to the store now.. thank you!!
My hubby and I are so grateful for this information. We are currently fighting the good fight with these little terrors and I swear, we were both losing our minds because it had gotten so bad. We tried everything you mentioned only to see them multiply 😩
We are gonna try this method today! Thank you for sharing!!
Did it work?
I am off to go and get these!!!!!!!!! When I saw this video I literally cried because you said what we are dealing with. We haven't cooked much since this infestation. The trap worked a little, but don't rid the house of it! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Ellen Fuller Well you know what? I totally understand. These dang things will stress you out!! I really hope that this method works out for you. Thank you so much for your comment.
Ellen Fuller Don't forget to use wine!
I didn't. I found the breading ground. It was my sons room. He is a teenager who left food all around. I put one in his room and we cleaned his room up and his room is close to being Fruit Fly free. On the other hand, we have more down in the kitchen even though I cleaned everything. Thank you for responding and thank you for your video. I keep using the fly stick! My 11 year old thought it was cool to see how many got stuck to it!!!! ha ha.. Good thing I have children who make me enjoy my wine even more. I do have it on hand.
That is awesome and no problem. I am happy to help. My girls are much younger but I find food in various places around the house quite often so totally understand!!! I keep them on hand as well. Both the the fly sticks and some wine hehehe. Take care!!!
Happie Bell Vlog girl yes the wine is the key...they are totally drawn to wine for some reason
Didn’t have the infestation like you, only a few flying around daily. Bought these at Home Depot and just put one out and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the info, really happy with the result of this product.
My husband and I were experiencing the same problem. We had a few gnats flying around because I bought some plants for my home and was overwatering them. I bought some stuff that was supposed to killed the larvae and got some sticky tape. That worked some but they were still flying around. And one day it was from 5 to 100. They were flying around like crazy! We have gotten them before but not like this. I woke up Saturday morning and came across this video and determined that I was going to run out when The Home Depot opened to get the Raid Fly Stick Trap. I got some and put them in the kitchen and it was crazy how many gnats stuck to the traps by later that evening. And today it is even better. Thanks so much for this. My husband had picked up some bombs to put around the house but we were keeping our daughter's cat and we have a dog. What are we going to do with them. Well, problem solved. Praise the Most High and thank you for the tip!
Omg thank you!!! I've been dealing with a really bad infestation of these things for about 2wks now. They are EVERYWHERE. I'm going to definitely give this a try, thanks again!
Hey Pam B. No problem. I am happy to help, Yay!!! I hope that you are able to get rid of these little things. They are so annoying!!
So how it went
thank you for this video! i had tried every trick on youtube and google, and then saw your video, found them at walmart (in the grocery area where the the cleaning stuff is, not where the pesticides are) and within 1 day finally got rid of all of them! now I Keep one hanging just to prevent them from taking over! lol
Having this problem too and tried everything. The workers at Home Depot told me that the reason why fruit flies multiply so fast is because they lay eggs in your drains ( garbage disposals, sink & shower)! They are drawn to the smell of decaying food in the garbage disposals and sink "sludge", especially in the bathrooms. To keep them down you have to keep your drains clean (either Draino or boiling hot white vinegar/baking soda-which kills the flies and eggs in your drains). They also told me don't keep any food stuffs out in the open, especially potatoes, fruits etc. Girl, they told me ALOT of tips! It really helped but I will look into this tip of yours as well even though we didn't have as many as you did. Glad that you are back in your kitchen!
THIS VIDEO NEEDS MORE VIEWS!!!! The other stuff takes SO. LONG. to work! These took absolutely the least amount of time!!! I feel like those other traps do just that, TRAP them, but they don't kill them as easily. This one traps them and makes it super easy to throw them out immediately! You're the best for showing us this!
+Madison Lawrence Aww thank you so much!!! I feel the same way you do, this is Really the BEST way to get them but I am happy that this method worked for you because at the end of the day those things are so annoying!!! You are more than welcome!!!! Please tell others about my video!!!😘😘😘
THANK YOU for posting this.... seriously. We've have a horrible fruit fly problem at our kitchen sink for about a week now and it's been awful! I haven't been able to get rid of those little suckers. I have tried red wine in a glass; apple cider vinegar (with/without syran wrap with punctured holes); Borax down the drain followed by boiling water; juice in a jar with a paper funnel; those little plastic red tomato looking things; boiling water down the drain; vinegar + baking soda down the drain; sanitizing EVERYTHING around sink. NOTHING has worked until I saw your video. I just went out to Home Depot a couple hours ago and bought 6 of these Raid Fly Sticks and I'm completely mesmerized watching each and every one of those damn flies sticking to that stick. It's a beautiful thing. I poured myself a glass of wine and watching with great satisfaction as each one of those tyrants fly into their ultimate demise. GREAT POST. I have never commented on a post before, but thought you needed to be congratulated on your great find.
And your so amazing for taking the time out to write about your adventure fighting these fruit flies!!! I completely understand!!! I appreciate you!!!
I’m so glad I seen this !!!!!!!! Idk where these freaking gnats are coming from omg !!! Thank you !
To get rid of Gnats ..... Get rid of the Food Sources .... Empty All Trash Cans Keep trash outside ... use Foggers ...
Use pull tab Fly Traps ... The Orange pull Fly Traps They are attracted to the Orange color ..... Be Warned They Multiply Fast ... one can turn into Thousands Quickly ...
Every 8 days the eggs hatch 1 female can lay 40 eggs evey 12 hours if found in the drain citronella soap will kill any fly and egg it comes in contact with. It also is good repellent if its Phorid Flies
Though the look similar the way to tell is the eyes and the legs in the back fruit flys only have red eyes like almost orange the other ones have black some times even dark red but not bright red they also have a slight hump to thier back bleach and hot water wont even kill them but the lay eggs in organic matter you have to kill the nest with a bio cleaner that dissolves organic matterial but the phorid usually are indicaters that the sewage has a break in it somewhere. They will follow the smallest cracks to the effected soil or gravel and start the nest in there.
If you don't have any fruit around then they are feeding off of waste that is in you sink drains and sink traps. I will a cup of bleach in each sink and let it sit overnight.
You’re welcome 😉

I'm having this problem right now!!! I used 3 foggers recently. Sat outside for 2 hours, ventilated for another 2. THEY WERE STILL HERE! I wanted to burn the whole house to the ground! I'ma try these. They look very efficient. Thank you!
The best thing I have used is the sticky fly paper that you hang like a ribbon. It is sold in little rolls and you hang up and unfurl like a ribbon. Very inexpensive - dollar stores have it. Very effective and even more so when the flies get stuck, as their friends then come looking for them and get stuck too! You will catch many more than you think you have! Of course you can hang more than one and discard them when they are covered (replace if necessary).
Thank you. We caught 225 with these traps. Nothing else worked. We had never seen these in any store. You are my fruit fly hero
Kimberly Weiss LoL you actually counted them that’s great! Ur welcome
thanks for posting. I bought these yesterday and in one day my traps look like yours. I still have them but I was feeling hopeless. those home made traps don't work quick enough. once again thank you for posting
Not a problem!!! I feel ur pain the other traps in my opinion, don't work at all. I started off with just a few fruit flies and I made the homemade traps to get rid of them and after a couple of days the fruit flies populated even more. This is the best way to get rid of them so far for me.
Thanks for this video!!! Like you, I tried every other thing that you tried. I added wine, apple cider vinegar and dish detergent to a few jars and it killed a lot, but they were still very active. This has been a 2 week battle so far. I saw your video yesterday and of all places, Food Lion had the fly sticks for $3+, but at this point, I would've paid $10 per stick. I bought about 4 last night. I set them up with my red wine and acv mix and in less than an hour, the fruit flies were all over it. Within a few hours there were hundreds. I wish i could post the pic. Thanks again!!!
Joe Flowers That what's up!!! ☝ I am happy to help!! This was a huge problem and I am happy to know how solve it!! Thank you for your comment!!✌
Hi thanks for sharing but do you wash the sticks and use them again ??
Joe Flowers has
What ratio of apple cider vinegar to red wine didyou use?
Wash your fruit when you bring it home because the eggs are on it and you’re bringing them into your house when you go shopping
So I bought these traps before and didn't work as well and I put beer inside the plastic tray. I tried the apple cider vinegar in the jar and only populated them even more. I found out the problem was a moldy avocado that was hidden under some lemons my roommate covered. I put a trap by my trash can and one hanging next to my fruit basket and within 30 minutes I caught over 50. I put acv in both trays. Over night I caught over 300 gnats. And there's maybe only a dozen flying around now! Thank you so much!
kevin Trinh I love this happy ending!!! Your welcome!!!! Make sure to subscribe to the channel to support my efforts.
Thank God for RUclips!!!! And people like yourself who take the time to share information!!!!!! You guys saved my LIFE!!!!!
BpE You are so welcome!!!!! 💛💛💛💛🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
10/10!! This worked SO WELL!! The wine really made them fly right to it. All in one night!!
I feel so much of the things you said in this video right now. Our infestation is so bad I can't leave my room anymore. I keep a towel shoved under my door to keep the flies from getting in, and cooking is IMPOSSIBLE. All of this happened after Thanksgiving... I'm gonna try out these fly sticks! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll do anything at this point! Little vinegar jar traps are just a joke at this point, they CANNOT handle a large infestation.
TrippNessa The flysticks will definitely help!! Try them out and come back to let me know how happy you are when they are all gone! Make sure to subscribe to my channel!
Amazing results! At first it didn't work, I put honey in one stick and maple syrup in the other, since those were the suggestions on the box. They didn't seem to care though, so I poured some apple cider vinegar into it over top of the other stuff and BAM, overnight they were all stuck! Go with vinegar to lure them, the box doesn't know what it's talking about lol
Thank you! This is the best solution out. I actually placed apple cider vinegar at the bottom of the stick since i didnt have wine but it still worked. We were battling fruit flies for weeks until we found this video.
Thank you so much!!! I tried the cider vinegar and it didn't work. I found you when I saw that wasn't working. I went straight to Walmart and bought two of the Raid Fly Sticks. I used honey in the bottom. They worked immediately! I woke up this morning and one was covered with fruit flies and the other one was one third covered. Thank you so much for making this video for us!
I use these in my house and they work great! I put a little balsamic vinegar in the container. This works 100 times better then apple cider or balsamic vinegar in a container.
Summer Hendrickson Amazing!! Thank you for letting me know! Make sure to subscribe!!
Been dealing with fruit flies for the last few days due to my 3yp leaving a strawberry under her bed in a little bowl. But the mfrs just won't go away. Glad I came across this video bc I also have a home Depot 2 mins from me so that's where I'll be going right now. Thanks for taking the time to make a video sharing your experience and what worked for you. 2 thumbs up.
You're a genius! I had my husband pick up the supplies after work. We've had it set up for about 30 minutes and there are already a half dozen fruit flies stuck to the stick. Yay! Thank you so much! Nothing else I've tried has worked.
I’ve been meaning to get back to you and let you know how this turned out. After cleaning out any distractions in our sink, this worked like a charm. ALLL The gnats are gone. 👍🏾
Thank you for the update! I’m sure this comment will help someone! Plz check out the description,subscribe and like the video to support the channel!
Natural Lotus Farm Yep I’m already a subscriber 👍🏾
LORD THANK YOU. Girl I been trying all those damn other home made traps and they did NOTHING. I’m going to go get those raid traps right now. Blessings to you guys!
Thank you so much because the wine DIY traps in my kitchen look like when they opened up bars for a week in houston post quarantine...no social distancing and shutting down my ability to live a normal life in my own dang house.
I have been having great results using these traps baited with the apple cider vinegar. Wine worked too, but the vinegar worked even better. Great video. Thanks.
coming at you from 2019! I've tried those failed traps you mentioned, and I am so glad you are offering real solutions! getting my stuff today, fingers crossed!
I don't have many but they chill around my kitchen sink for fun. I can't wait to try this method and get rid of them for good
All the fruit flies and gnats in my house came from drinking alcohol every football game day, they love alcohol and yeast, thanks for the info
Best thing ever,went immediately to buy these...they weren't catching until I poured vinegar in the bottom, the other methods DO NOT WORK just like you said...😘😘😘😘 Thank you so much
Stoney B You are so welcome!!!!♥️
I remember I had fruit flies!!!! I can vouch for this video!!!! Only thing that really worked like magic. They haven’t been back to this day. It’s been over a year!
Awesome
PERFECT TRAP , i tried all the homeaid methods, and your right they suck. I caught hundreds of fruit flies the first day I tried these! You have a really cute voice and RAID should hire YOU!!
I can see the sense of the shiny surface. When I had a kitchen infestation recently they loved to gather on the chrome aerial of the radio.
The sticky tubes worked better than all the other traps I tried. Thanks for sharing!
This totally got rid of my gnat infestation thank you so much for posting this video!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
+lindsay mcmurry I am so happy to help!!! I understand what you been through!!Thank you for letting me know!!! Please share this video!!!
I have a swarm of these things in my kitchen. Used the Raid sticks. Worked great on day one. Still have gnats. They will not go to the sticks on day 2. Found my electric fly swatter.. Took awhile but it worked. Your neck will be sore and you might get dizzy looking up for over an hour. But it works. Zap those little suckers!
Omg THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS darling
My mom was infested with fruit flies. In a day using the "stick" they were almost totally gone. We tried everything including the vinegar & soap...only caught some. This is the bomb !!!
mtuscano50 yay!!!! I’m so happy for y’all!! You are so welcome honey!!! Please share my video!! 💛🤗
Awesome! Thank you so much! We wasted a couple weeks trying the vinegar and dish soap method. I got the Raid sticks and wine and caught them all in two days! Bless you!
Lulubee Your more than welcome!!! Bless you!!!
This is the best way to get rid of fruit fly's and use the wine. Thank you.
+zohan1999 U are more than welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for commenting!!!
:) I have tried all of that other stuff, this took 2 days happy is me :)
+zohan1999 That is super awesome!!!!!!!!
Please share this video!!!
Thankyou! Wife and I had the same problem! Other traps didn't work I even put juice from a watermelon on a sticky glue trap. THANKS FOR INFO👍
I know this is an old video but thank you for sharing this I just bought my raid fly sticks and they work wonders. I also pour vinger, baking soda, and boiling hot water down the drains and seal them up every night that works too. Again thank you for this video
dominique sanders you're more than welcome!!!
I want to say, I ran out last night after seeing this. They WORK LIKE A CHAMPION!!! THE RAID box does say put honey. I put wine like your hubby said, THEY ARE GONE!!! I COULD HUG YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!🤗🤗
No, the dish washing liquid serves to break the surface tension of the apple cider vinegar so the light weight flies fall through the surface of the liquid and drown in the vinegar. Drowning is what kills the fruit flies, not the soap.
Okay, Thank you.
SpiritBear12 no need to put anything more than the apple cider vinegar in there. It works great all by itself
that just feeds them... they die from natural reasons and looks like the vinegar is helping only because its a common feeding spot.
a few drops of soap and when the flies hit the surface, they drop like a stone to the bottom, i've seen flies tread vinegar for hours. i've had vinegar traps for a year, just added a few drops of soap and "plop"!
@The Last Crusader Bruh what's your problem? I see you in like every comment thread
I just love these things... I've tried everything... juice in jars, traps made from old soda bottles, fly tape...
but a little bit of wine in the bottom of one of these works killer and your kitchen does not smell like apple vinegar.
My flys are gone... but i'm just going to setup another 4 of these to keep it that way..
Thank you for the video. Two other things, these flies are also attracted to the light when it is dark outside. So...I have found that setting a trap in a bathroom, at night, with that light on (and no other light on in the house) draws most of the flies in the house to that light source and therefore a great opportunity for them to be attracted to your trap. Yes, their eggs are already on the fruit we buy▬so that fruit needs to be washed and dried when we get it home.
INJURYCOMP Great Information!!! Thank you!!
Exactly we eat eggs in our fruit and most people don't even know it!
By far the BEST Fruit Fly trap ever I have ever seen with for real results! Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for this! I especially enjoyed your delivery- you made us know you were not playing with these bugs! I bought a so called “gnat trap” on Amazon for $24…and it did not even attract the bugs 😑 I will try your plan now. Thanks again 🙏🏾
I’m so glad to see this! I’ve been struggling to get rid of them and once I think they are gone baaaam they multiply! The Apple cider thing didn’t work for me at all! Thank you for this! I can’t wait to try it.
I'm dealing with this now. I will be at Walmart first thing tomorrow morning. Wish me luck...
Good luck ! Did it work
Did it work
I bought the fogger and it killed our infestations. Thank God. Caz that vinegar shit was not working
angela Garcia could you please tell me where you purchased your fogger and the name of it I’m so tired of these fruit fly’s lol
I watched your video today August 10,2022. I've never had an infestation of these pest before. I bought two of the Raid Fly Sticks. Couldn't believe how fast they are already working. Thank you for an excellent video!
Thank you so much for this video! We're on our way to look for these fly sticks. These have been a havoc in our house for two weeks now. We usually get them every other year, but this year is ridiculous. While we go out to get the actual sticks, we wrapped a fly tape that we have around a paper towel roll and placed it in a saucer of red wine to see what will happen while we are gone. Thanks again as these things have been driving me insane!
run boiling water through the drains first then pour comet and soap down the drain, then put a cup or something to block the drain. kill the flies in the house with traps or slap boxing lol, the lifecycle is 72 hours I believe for the flies. this is what helped me today! almost immediate results.
Thank you, Thank you! I live in New York City and my apartment is full of these nasty sh*ts.. I have never seen fruit flies like this.. It’s like a plague😩 We pay too much money to be fighting pest.. Bedbugs, Roaches, Mice..Now this😢
You are welcome! One less pest problem to worry about now! Please subscribe to support my channel!❤️
I cleaned everything in my kitchen and put all fruit in the fridge. I made 5 fruit fly vinegar/soap traps. It took two days, but they finally were hungry enough that they went for the traps. They are getting fuller each night. Put multiple vinegar traps in each room when you have an infestation. Oh, and they also are drawn to whiskey. I put whiskey in one just to try that and that works, too.
Ly Kri I am happy that you were able to find another remedy!!! Your absolutely right about putting the fruit in the refrigerator!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for the idea. I have a really really bad infestation...they're in every room in my apartment. I had success with the small traps before when I had just a few, but like you said, when there are THIS MANY, they just get food from it and breed more. I bet you also could use beer because the fruit flies flock to beer cans.
I had bought the apple shaped ones too from Raid, after 3 days NOT one single fruit fly was in the trap! What a waste of money. My fruit fly infestation is not that bad, but I can't stand bugs of any kind in my home. Thanks for your video! Now I know what will work!
galsigner1 Your absolutely welcome!!
Thank you so much! We've tried all of those you mentioned you had tried and we haven't had success either. I'm so happy to see a new tip! Trying it asap. We get them every summer and they get so bad bc we have a litter box, 2 guinea pig cages and fresh fruit out on our counter. So they have so many places to go. So thankful! We have to bomb every year and it's such a hassle & they are right back every time.
I bought some on home house plants into my home and now I have them flying everywhere. Ordered already!
I got this and put the Apple cider vinegar as bait. These bastards ain’t going no where anymore😂😂😂
Glad to know about these. They done the trick. Big thanks to you!
Thank you so much! Was at my wits end with our fruit fly problem and the other methods weren't working. Had one of the raid sticks left from last summer dealing with house flies and I couldn't believe how effective it was! I will be getting more tonight and will have my kitchen back! Thank you thank you!
Hello Dani Cool Thank you for your comment I am sure it will really help others who are dealing with the same problem. Thank you so much!!!
I had an infestation this summer also! I used the apple cider vinegar trap to attract them and burned incense sticks around the trap! Gone in two days! Now when I bring in those summer fruits like plums, nectarines and melons, etc, I immediately store them in the fridge for a few days to kill any that might be traveling inside.
OMG! I only wish I had read your post any sooner. My home has been infested with these darn annoying fruit flies. They're even upstairs in my bedroom and I avoid eating anything there altogether so I don't understand how they got there. After reading about your method, I'm like calling people I know to see if by any chance they're in or going to Wal-Mart so SOMEONE can pick up a trap or two of this Raid fruit fly trapper for me. Otherwise, I'll go first thing in the morning. WISH ME LUCK..... these little suckers are everywhere.... But not for long. Thank you for sharing!!!
No problem!!! Please let me know if it helps!!!
Vilma Gonzalez yeeessss me too man its been months for me n its disgusting n aggravating! I've had the exterminator come out to spray twice now n nothing; they're still all over my house n I'm sooo freakin over it! Praise God for showjng me favor in finding ur video. Cuz I noticed the wine thing last month but I didnt want to have to just have like my wine sitting out as a trap for the gnats but now at this point n after 3-4 months with this disgusting crap; the wine just gonna have to take one for the team cuz no that vinegar crap does not work. Wine for some reason.is their Kryptonite n I'm gon give it to 'em too!!!
check your garbage... my daughter put fruit in her person garbage can (which is on meant for paper not food ) when I opened it ... it was infested with fruit flies... (caked with flies)
I had the same problem, saw your video and went to home depot. Luckily I saw your video and now the problem has been fixed. You were right the other methods made it worse. Thank you!!
Going to try this out. Been suffering from these lil' ***** for at least a month now.
We've tried everything. The lil ball traps, the cup of water, the jar of viniger, the funnel traps.... nothing freaking works!
Seeing those traps absolutely covered in gnats is a wonderful yet disgusting sight.
Stay safe, stay smart. :)
Can't wait for Home Depot to open to try this. I've been bleaching my drains, spraying them with isopropyl alcohol, and set a vinegar trap today, but they don't seem to completely die off. Hopefully the sticky sticks will kill the stragglers that survive & repopulate every night .
Same exact experience with me!! Raid Fly sticks were the only thing worked for us!
Ethnic Mama you are the absolute best! I don't know if you'll see this cuz uses an older video of yours. I have been trying to get rid of fruit flies for months and months now and I doubled down and did all the vinegar stuff and I feel like we were making more fruit flies LOL they were relentless. When I looked on RUclips and every other place all it talked about was damn vinegar traps. I listen to you and bought the raid fruit fly traps and girl let me just tell you that when I woke up this morning that thing has almost every fruit fly night on it hahaha thank you again I'm glad I found your channel 😁
They are literally driving me batty! I had to quickly eat up all of my fruit on the counter to help get rid of the problem, but I STILL have fruit flies AND house flies! Thank you for the tip, on my way to Home Depot!
I tried the raid sticks and you saved us! It has worked great!!!! Thank you for your video. No more apple cider vinegar smell!!!!
Matt Fuller Amazing!!😍 Not a problem! Thank you so much for your comment!
Matt Fuller Don't forget to use wine!
Will these traps work without the wine?
Good advice! BTW the package of those sticks does say to add like honey/chocolate syrup to attract them but a fermenting substance like the Sherry or even apple cider vinegar would be more effective for fruit flies.
I used to use maple syrup but switched to cooking wine yesterday after watching this. It works 10X better, thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion! I am going to try this out and suspect it will fix the issue based on others reports in the comments!
I tried everything but after watching your video I bought these Raid sticks and within a week the gnats were gone!! Thanks!!
Awesome 💛🤗
This is so helpful! I have a good handful om scared to have an even bigger infestation all in the matter of 3 days !!
I love your review. I've tried everything to get rid of these gnats and nothing has worked. I'm heading to the store right now to purchase the fly trap.
Ms. C I appreciate you! How did it go? Please subscribe!
Thank you for your advice. I saw it today and went to home depot 30 minutes ago. Poured some beer it the bottom and caught 5 in less then 10 minutes.
Awhile back when I had a fruit fly attack I tried pouring boiling water down the drain of the sink three or four times a day.. (about half a gallon for each drain) it didn't get rid of them immediately.. though, after three days they were gone.. I think they feed or breed in the drain pipe..
FYI- Some people add bleach or borax.
I used this formula, recommended by an exterminator, to treat my drains....1/2 cup salt, plus 1/2 cup baking SODA, dumped down the drain. Add 1 cup vinegar (it will bubble up). Immediately cover drains and allow to sit overnight. In the morning, flush with boiling water. It took about 2 weeks but it worked. Not all gnats are fruit flies. Some are fungus gnats and some are drain gnats, so check out and treat your houseplants too. Good luck!
Yeah you rite. Same here. Vinegar/soap/trap did not work. The fly paper spiral thing worked to catch a lot but not all of them. (It's like it just stopped working once the gnats saw a bunch of their dead homies on it and finally figured they shouldn't go near it) Gonna try the Fly Sticks. Thanks.
😂😂😂Okay!!!! Sounds great!!!
Washing the fruit immediately when you bring it from the store helps to avoid the problem entirely!!
Vicki Walker Great tip thank you! Subscribe to the channel to support!!
I imagine they left fruit skin or peels in a trashcan for too long
