Just tried this and put one in my room not even five minutes ago and it's already caught one! ^~^ Thank you for this tip! Definitely keeping it in my room.
So me and my boyfriend made our own traps. It is now about 11 hours passed and he made his first. Mine caught 15 and his caught zero. I didn’t stir mine and he stirred his. I’m not sure why his didn’t catch any but maybe it was the bowl size. But I appreciate this video because I was getting irritated!!! Did not know they would shoot up your nose!!!
I just made one. 15 minutes later there was a fly sitting on the inner side of the bowl. So I blew it into the cider. It didn't struggle or anything. Just remained still. I hope the rest make it into the cider on their own. I mixed the soap in very gently. Next time I checked, another was sitting on the top edge of the bowl. I blew that one in too.
Also works with alcohol. When I was a kid, there’d sometimes be a lot of fruit flies in my apartment, and my mom found that if you take some wine, I think cooking wine, it attracts a ton of fruit flies.
No need for the lid at all do not cover it at all and if you really want potent mixture, get a small bowl or mason jar, apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and a few drops of your dish soap, preferably dawn and just sit him all around your house and you won’t have to worry
Take old pill bottle. Put a few holes in top to mimick those fruit fly apple traps.use the same apple cider vinegar and soap recipe. Even less will escape
I did this straight dui diy, got a fountain soda from ayerco they lemme just take the cup and lid heated a fork dabbed it thru the top to make the holes and used the same basic mixture that way when I'm done I'm not cleaning out dead bugs and vinegar out of anything just dump it into my compost bin throw away the cup
It's just fermented crushed apples and yeast, all brands will be different depending on orchard of apples used, season, fermentation age. Just get the cheapest you can, ideally "organic" "raw" "with the mother".
Yes this definitely works but I found out that the big bottle of apple cider vinegar the cheap one they didn't bother. Heinz and the other name brand is the only kind they were attracted to
Thanks babe, yes, these are annoying when I’m trying to have my drink in peace. I think I might use my drink instead of apple cider vinegar because they are always floating around my drink.
I tried to put plastic wrap on the top then I put holes in it hoping the gnats would go in the holes but they are just going on the plastic wrap instead of going in the holes. Is it better to not put plastic wrap?
@@catzdollz9810 the detergent poisons them, water tension allows them to stand on water without sinking before flying away, the soap breaks that tension so they both drown or get poisoned. with only apple cider vinegar you are just feeding them.
Regular vinegar is fine just make sure the dish soap smells fruity or like citrus. I also add a little brown sugar and stir if you don't have fruity smelling dish soap.
I've been doing this for a good while and it works but problem is that you really need to find out where they coming from cause I feel like the more you kill them the more fruit flies come back flying your house or apartment ugh 😫
Omg I’ve had gnats everywhere… I’ve sprayed down the area in which they come from, but still no improvements. Did this method work to catch, and kill gnats for you?
also, if you think you have drain flies and fruit flies or maybe just drain flies, you have to pour a salt, baking soda and white vinegar mixture down your drains and then boiling water the next day

I tried it this morning n it works😊 thank you..i had bananas n they were over riped so I had fruit flies every where..no spray worked 🙄
So glad I made 🎉this video for you🎉🎉🎉
Ngl i thought you were drinking it in the end
I was so scared at the end
😭🤣
Same 🤣
Deadass was abouta write the same thing 🤣😭 Lowkey made me shiver 🥴
use a teaspoon of plum or raspberry jam in a large soft drink bottle . fill half way with warm water .
Dish soap in a glass of water and a banana skin. Push the skin below the water. Cleared 200 or so in 12 hours
Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Sounds simpler. I always have bananas at home but not apple vinegar
thought she was gonna drink the apple cider mixture 😂 💀
Yo!!! You sipping your coffee at the end was outta pocket 😂 def made me gag
hmmm 🙄 welp, sucks to be you
I’m just saying it seemed like you were drinking the trap 😂
@@ErickGarcia-lh7qp never 😱 omg 🤣
yeah I thought the saame thing lol
😂
the drinking your coffee in peace part i relate to so much. they just love my coffee

lmfao it ain't work huh😂😂😂

Thanks, I've been unable to get rid of mine through cleaning, so hopefully this will work!
I havent even watched this yet and I know how well this works for gnats and fruitflies
It does wonders ✨️
I had a rotten potato in my pantry, fruit flies everywhere 😭😭 I'm putting this up, hope it works 😭😭
OMG, the whole trying to drink coffee in peace is spot on! So annoying! Thanks for the hack that's not requiring 5 different items 😂
Use a Mason Jar & plastic wrap the opening.. poke holes in it and they will rush to make it in that club before it closes 😂

LMFAO!!!!! this comment top tier 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah, it works. Love your Southern drawl and you're pretty too.
Thank you

Hey Friend, welcome to my little side of RUclips.
Omg the coffee thing is so real. When they get bad I have to cover my coffee or I'll find 1 just floating all dead 🙄
Facts 💯
Without splashing it with her Philly accent
😂😂
Simple but promising, I might do it ♡

Genius! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾
So smart. Str8 dui son
I thought you were drinking vinegar and dish soap 😂
That’s sister! I’ve seen this hack , it doesn’t usually work for me, but I’m going to try it again. 😅
Nice tutorial and you are beautiful :)
Your really beautiful 😄
Thank you
Been trying this, but for some reason the flies won't touch it. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I tried this today and after a few hours there are now 12 dead fruit flies in the trap!
Glad it worked out for you 👏🏾🙌🏾
I’m about to try.
@@fantazephir5597 There's now more than 20 dead
Only 12? I have an infestation problem with them now and there seem to be hundreds of them 😂. I hope this captures alot more than 12 in a day.
@@leemorrell9912 It caught 12 in about 2 days. There was over 20 over the course of a week.
how much usually you should wait?
3hrs
Hennesey works great too 😅
I use Heinz Cider vinegar myself.
I’m a big fan !!!
I honestly use whatever brand I can get my hands on, even a dollar tree brand works.
It's just fermented crushed apples and yeast, all brands will be different depending on orchard of apples used, season, fermentation age. Just get the cheapest you can, ideally "organic" "raw" "with the mother".
Yes this definitely works but I found out that the big bottle of apple cider vinegar the cheap one they didn't bother. Heinz and the other name brand is the only kind they were attracted to
Does it have to be apple cider vinegar? Not just vinegar?
I have never tried it with normal vinegar. I would say apple cider may be better.
Can I substitute the apple cider vinegar with normal vinegar ?
@@RoMy6821 some of the other commenters have so I would say try it
Gonna try this tomorrow, I’ll be in peace again
Thanks babe, yes, these are annoying when I’m trying to have my drink in peace. I think I might use my drink instead of apple cider vinegar because they are always floating around my drink.
Your welcome 🤣🤣🤣
Putting it to the test.
Let me know how it worked out
THERE GOES MY APPLE CIDER THAT I DRINK😂
😆
Red wine vinegar works too FYI
Thanks for sharing this tip
I tried to put plastic wrap on the top then I put holes in it hoping the gnats would go in the holes but they are just going on the plastic wrap instead of going in the holes. Is it better to not put plastic wrap?
No plastic wrap
I'm glad I could help you 😌
Im not sure if i have fruit flies or gnats.Will this work for both?
Yes
Can we use White vinegar unstead?
@@rajashreewaghmare3690 I don't suggest but I think some people in the comments have tried
I thought you should ad hunny as well it creates a little bit more stickiness to keep them in their I could be wrong though
I want that mug! 😍💜
Thanks, I created this mug a while ago, but it's still available in my square store square.link/u/8P8uIlyB enjoy
I do this except with sugar and apple cider vinegar. Wonder if the dish soap would enhance 🤔
You MUST add dish detergent!
@@catzdollz9810 the detergent poisons them, water tension allows them to stand on water without sinking before flying away, the soap breaks that tension so they both drown or get poisoned. with only apple cider vinegar you are just feeding them.
Your suppose to cover it with wrap and poke holes to make it harder for them to escape
If that works for you that is great but I only do that version for normal flies
Thank you so muc mam! I hate fruit flies so annoying
Gonna try this thanks
I just have regular vinegar,will it still work?👀
Someone in common to did say they use vinegar. And it worked but I cannot confirm it
Regular vinegar is fine just make sure the dish soap smells fruity or like citrus. I also add a little brown sugar and stir if you don't have fruity smelling dish soap.
Coffee drink was nice.
U look cute sipping dat coffee
What if you don’t have apple cider vinegar does regular white vinegar work too
I've never tried that. But try it and let's us know if it works
I've been doing this for a good while and it works but problem is that you really need to find out where they coming from cause I feel like the more you kill them the more fruit flies come back flying your house or apartment ugh 😫
Are saying they come back for vengeance with a army 😫😆
Damn I thought she was drinking fruit fly juice at the end
Hope that's Kiss Cafe coffee you're drinking tho
Does this work for gnats too?
Omg I’ve had gnats everywhere… I’ve sprayed down the area in which they come from, but still no improvements. Did this method work to catch, and kill gnats for you?
@@chrisosei-owusu gnats and fruit flies are basically the same bug- a tiny flying cockroach
@@rudestbeast4907Have you tried anything that has seemed to work?
Thank youuuu!
Doing this right now!
Also a Lil Serran rap over the top. Poke a few hole. They'll can get in but not out
I love your accent….. Louisiana?
Thank you but I'm from Philadelphia
I knew it! Lol
I was gonna say Baltimore 😂
Does this work with normal vinegar?
I haven't tried it with normal vinegar but I would say experiment and see if it works.
And you're very pretty
Thank you
Now maybe that's my problem 😕 and I've been these a long and don't really work.🤦🏽♀️
Does it have to be apple cider vinegar or can it be regular vinegar?
I think Apple cider vinegar works better
@@thebalancedmotherhood thanks sis just wanted to make sure kus these fruit flies be getting on my nerves 😅
@@Abn71395 I felt that pain so I understand
they also go at malt vinegar and white wine so it doesnt hurt to add those but yea this recipe has worked for me before, i use apple scented dish soap
How often do you change the solution? Thanks
As soon as it's caught at least 10 fruit flies
Fruit flies come from kitchen drains there’s a spray for that at Home Depot
Is there a natural home remedy instead, that you don't mind sharing?
@@thebalancedmotherhood honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar
@louisvuitton1584 this is for the drain ??
Thanx 🎉
can i use regular vinegar?
She cute❤
You only need one drop when you use fairy
any other normal vinegar works?
I'm not sure but try it out
Shoot I thought you drank that vinegar
Can we use cooking veniger
Yippee 😊
This some bs it don’t work
Just not for you, maybe your doing something wrong.
Can you do it with white vinegar
Will Heinz all natural distilled white vinegar work?
Yes
You don’t need to lie to us! We knew the Apple cider vinegar and fly mixture was in that cup
🤣🤣🤣
use dawn dish soap not just any kind of soap
Th knats just sit on the side of the bowl
That’s so fake!!! It didn’t work!
Sorry it didn't work for you. Nothing, will ever work for everyone
it does work and even better when you use apple scented dish soap and a splash of white wine
❤️
Why not mix it and then pour it into a bowl
You can do that if you want
Does this work for gnats?
Yes
I thought you drank the same water with fruit flies
No not at all. I said at the end "now I can drink my coffee in peace" 😭 Idk why everyone thinks that
U have a Philly accent
💯
@@thebalancedmotherhood lol I know my city 😂
@@Abd-l2q5s what part are you from?
So I don’t have acv. I’m going to use vinegar, molasses and dish soap lol. I’ll update y’all.
It should start working that day so let us know
Did it work?
Do it in a mason jar Instead
Will regular vinegar work
No, I wouldn't suggest it
does this work with mosquitos
Sorry but No
It works or SWEET RED WINE
unfortunate edit at the end with drinking coffee right after showing the poison concoction.
😆😆
I hate those flies they are more than irritating
Wait you don’t have to cover it with plastic wrap?
you don't HAVE to. that's how I did it at first. also, instead of using a bowl, use a plastic cup!
also, if you think you have drain flies and fruit flies or maybe just drain flies, you have to pour a salt, baking soda and white vinegar mixture down your drains and then boiling water the next day
This does not work.
Sorry it didn't work for you you may have to place it in a different spot
Why the dish soap please?
When they dip in for a drink the soap makes their legs slippery. They can't escape.
yea only vinegar and your feeding them because they stand on the water tension that the soap breaks so they sink it also poisons them
These guys are so irritating I've put bowls of vinegar and dish soap out and it's pretty effective but better to do this overnight
Yes, they are pests indeed. Overnight is a great 💡 idea, thanks for sharing 👍🏾
❤❤❤❤
This does not work must be a certain type of fruit fly
Does it work for other type of flies?
