The mouth piece of the water bottle has to touch the water, if it doesn’t the trap will not work. Might take days just to catch one. Just don’t let the water go above the mouth piece part, the trap has to look like a funnel
Thank you so much Rebecca! I had what it seemed like an infestation in my kitchen. I placed 3 of the bottles around my kitchen. As soon as I placed them I saw the flies starting to get attracted to it. After 2 hours I check the bottom of the bottles and half of them were already there! I left it during the night and I just woke up and we are flies free. Thank you ❤
@@emilygabaldon5404 same. I left a damn banana peel in a Walmart bag I was using for trash in the kitchen overnight. Went to grab the back the next day, saw what I first thought were knats, not many. Soon as I moved the bag, about 50 of them came flying out. I tied it up real quick, as I could see a bunch still in the bag. Then they were just everywhere after that. Found this video, put a couple in my kitchen. As you said, within 30 seconds I had 5 or 6 of them already coming to the bottles. After 3 days of using them, changing them out each day, they are now completely gone. I even caught one normal fly, as well lol Truly did not think it would work, let alone work this well. If they are actually fruit flies you have, this 100% works. If it's not working for you, it's probably not a fruit fly you're dealing with.
Drain flies can be removed by putting 1/4 cup of salt, 1/4 cup of baking soda (mix these two) in your drain, then add 1 cup of vinegar. Stopper the drain and flush with boiling water the next day. You may need to repeat this a couple of days. I usually add a squirt of Dawn or Lysol to the drain, after the dry ingredients, before the vinegar.
I'm no engineer nor water person thing, but can't you just put window mosquito blockers net thing inside the drain? Or will it block the water in a way?
@@LeoBoxGaming I don't know what window mosquitoe blockers are...so you mean a screen? In theory a small enough screen would work, but household drains have drain stoppers in the middle. So you can fill the sink with water. So I don't know how you would adfix the screen securely.
HEAR ME OUT: I did some extensive testing dealing with my terrible fruit fly infestation and gathered quite a number of insights: 1. Do not use the inverted top of the bottle, it's not necessary. I did a direct comparison and the bottom of a bottle filled with the solution actually worked better than the full construction that I tested alongside! The inverted bottle top method is great for catching wasps though! 2. You don't need a huge trap, you rather want to place a number of traps around your apartment. 3. The amount of solution you use doesn't matter that much. If you use a large cup you just need more of the solution. It's the surface of the solution that's important, not the depth. So make sure to use a small vessel that you can fill up almost to the rim because if there's a big rim, the fruit flies will just sit there and probably even feast on the vinegar solution that spilled on the rim when building/filling/moving the trap. You can actually use a number of espresso cups. You won't need much solution and you can put them in a number of places. 4. If after a day or two you think you catched almost all of them, don't remove the traps! The fruit fly population will grow again if you don't leave the traps for another few days! Maybe even leave one trap somewhere discreet indefinitely and change the solution from time to time.
I tried this & it worked! The first day it caught one…then day two I checked my trap and saw several…so happy I tried this very simple, yet effective method!
*Dont use this methode anymore! You should not Kill!!!!* There is a better wy, get a cup or something and put in a fruit like a apple or cherry or some other fruit, make sure fruit is juicy, and put it in, then above aluminium foil, close it and make some holes, you can also use another foil than aluminium, then put it to the kitchen, dont add any soap or so, you dont need soap, and then use paper or something for the next day, be fast and put it on top of the cup when there is no fruif fly above and bring them outside and let them go fly away!!!*
@@BelieveInJesusChrist. Come on, fruit flies are literally household pests, and they barely live for two months. Their own insignificant lives dont even mean anything to them, get over yourself and your soppy behaviour
Made a cup of coffee with sweet creamer and didn't know I had a couple drops of my coffee on the counter. I went back to the sink and there's was a bunch apparently drinking the coffee. They'll eat it drink anything apparently. I know they are hungry because I've been depriving them of food.
Thank you so much!! I had a ton of fruit flies because I put old bananas in the bin, stupid I know, but literally all of them are gone! For what it's worth, I actually had more success without the "trap" element. I just used bowl and it worked much better than the cut bottle
@@RHathemomentcan you use regular vinegar? I have literally EVERY kind of vinegar BUT apple cider I have rice vinegar red wine , balsamic, and white do you know if I could sub with any of those? I might just try plain but I did get rid of the whole container of cuties there was one bad one and they just came out of nowhere gross 😂😂
@@emilystubbs5650 thank you so much!! I’ve been doing other stuff and I got rid of ALL the bananas I had that helped but I’m going to try the rice one tonight, I appreciate your response ♥️
Crazy how well it worked. As some others said leave space between the bottle top and the amount of apple cide you put in. Also I happend to add allot of soap so you’d have to wait for bubbles to go down before and flys start going in so use the amount of soap recomended. All in all it cleared my room of fruit flies
I use a jar, add white vinegar and cover the top with clingfilm. Poke a couple small holes in the clingfilm. Has the same effect, lots of drowned fruit flies floating at the bottom. For some reason, they won't go in even if there's 1 drop of dish liquid (maybe they make em stronger in the UK? lol)
Well I’m trying this and it’s not working. They were on top of the bottle but did not go in. Not sure if it’s any different but I used Ajax instead of Dawn.
This did nothing for me. But what did wonders and got rid of all of them was this sticky trap that you put on your windows. They are clear so it doesn't look ugly or noticeable but man they really work! Ive caught all my fruit flies and some moths and flies
So are they just regular, generic fly trap strips?

If you do that and it do not help so much, it may not be fruit-flies but a similar looking insect with a similar life cycle living in and around indoor plants, they lay their eggs in the soil and can be very hard to get rid of, but you can buy maggots that you but in the plant soil that eat those eggs and stop the cycle.
what part of the video is that? The only song I hear is used at the beginning of the package and that's "tubular bells" from The Exorcist soundtrack (Exorcist theme)
OK, just finished making this and setting it out....well see. However, I don't see how it's any different than those little traps with the holes on the top with apple cider inside? I use those but it only catches a few everyday, not even close to all of them

It doesn’t have to be Dawn, just any dishwashing liquid will do. The soap is a surfactant (chemical that lowers surface tension). If you do not add the soap, the fruit fly may just sit on the surface of the liquid and fly away. If you add the soap, they will not be able to float on the surface, they will sink and drown. Just use a shot glass, don’t need to use a funnel, they just fall in the liquid.
Needs to be some sort of fruit or sugar based liquid. Apple is a fruit and rice is not so they will not be attracted to rice vinegar. You can also do fruit juice if available
I use paper or plastic cups and put in apple juice and a little alcohol. Then a stretch Saran Wrap over the top and secure with an elastic band. I'll poke 4 or 5 holes with a toothpick. Or use any small amount of fruit of any kind alone in the cup..
It's supposed to be above the fluid level, otherwise the flies can't fly in. She just wasn't paying attention to what she was doing because she was making a video for TV.
@@destinyandpurpose The Dunning-Kruger is strong with this one. You make it into funnel so they won't be able to get out. She even says that in the video. Something tells me that your "destiny and purpose" is trolling people.
How many fruit flies have you caught? My point is that cutting the bottle is not absolutely necessary for it to work. And as for "something tells me" you really should not listen to that voice, it has caused you to make a false statement that appears to be ignorance at its finest.@@GrantSR
Didn't work AT ALL! Frikin flies where sitting right above it and didn't even think of going near it.. I gave up on this after 3 days.. Not a single one :((
There must be more convenient and efficient ways to compost besides for doing it like that ?? O.m.g. ...compost bin just became the trash bin in this video. Quick and informative video though , thankyou. But I only have white vinegar .. any substitutes to use for the bait ??
Ok, so for the past 3 years every summer I get the pleasure of going to war with these little bastards. The apple cider vinegar method does work but there are some important things to understand. 1) Flies only go into these traps if they have no other choice. No other option for food. Gotta keep kitchen, trash can, and drains crazy clean. 2) Clean the trap daily and put fresh vinegar in it. Otherwise, it will stop working. Also, not a bad idea to swap out baits from time to time. I found fruit juice to also perform exceptionally well. 3) Try to avoid putting loose food in your trash can if you can. Stuff things that are likely to draw flies into large air tight storage bags and then toss in the trash can. Makes starving them out much easier if you're already keeping the kitchen clean. If you can't keep loose food out of the trash can, double bagging your trash so any that may have started breeding in your trash can get trapped inside and can't get out to infest the outside trash can. This is important because if they infest the outside can they will just come into the house from outside. Especially when the trash is collected weekly. Hope this helps.
my roommate tried it but he let the mouth of the bottle touch the liquid, I just tried it again leaving a space between the mouth of the bottle and the liquid
Just put a cinnamon stick in your bowl of fruit, shake some cinnamon over your household and outdoor garbage, and it will keep away fruit flies and house flies.
Those flies eat meat as well! I forget to put some leftover fried chicken in the refrigerator and several days later those things laid eggs all over my leftover fried chicken as I saw their little maggots wriggled all over the leftover fried chicken! Those things eat anything!
Exactlyyy dude. I lost my patience when i ate a cereal and one of those fckrs flew insidee. Since then i've been hunting them using a broom and baygon spray if u know what that is. but there were still alot of them, so i've been searching on how to make a trap for them😅😂
Don't let the neck of the inverted bottle touch the liquid as in the video! as the fruit flys can't get in past the liquid leave at least 10 centimeters gap 👍😊
I have traps with apple cider vinegar and dish soap and the fruit fly doesn't get near it the fruit fly has been living longer than fifty days four months I tried spraying it with my bleach cleaner and it didn't work and it has been growing I'm worried because I have a baby guinea pig scratching his ear there is no way it could be laying eggs because there is no other fruit flys just one so I don't why the fruit fly would be bothering him
I think maybe you should Google "fruit fly" images. Fruit flies don't show up one at a time; it's usually 100 or more. These guys look like gnats; only 2 or 3 millimeters long. You might be looking at a house fly.
@@curiouscharacter1 there was a infestation in my house and I was spraying a bunch of them with bleach cleaner and it was killing them the female was the only one left and I knew it was a female because it kept laying eggs in my guinea pigs ears my boyfriend started cleaning my guinea pigs ears with peroxide and cotton swabs and she was flying above the cage watching him and then it started flying around my house from room to room I saw it inside my bathroom one day on the wall above my toilet and I sprayed with the bleach cleaner and it didn't die that guinea pig died that is why it wasn't flying around the cage anymore we got a new guinea pig and it wasn't bothering this one because it was the only one inside my house three weeks ago it started flying in my boyfriends face and he killed it and I do know what fruit flies look like I had a big infestation going on in my house
You're wrong. I left some vinegar (no water) with a drop of soap out on my counter, the next day I counted 30 dead fruit flies. Out of maybe one to two hundred that formed when I went on vacation and left fruit in my garbage can. I started leaving out 2 traps and they were all gone in a few days.
Any dishwashing liquid will work. Just don't overdo it. The idea is to break the surface tension so that once landing on the surface the little bugs sink at once before they have a chance to escape drowning by flying away.
This is a counter productive idea 😂 the flys are there because you have open container of apple cider 😅which is gross to see them every day and deal with that grossness. If you don’t want to see them, don’t leave around cut and open sugary stuff to begin with, even to trap them 😅 this is just sounds ridiculous 🤣 This is similar to leaving money around to catch thieves.
Works perfect!! I literally had about 50 fruit flys in my house and all were gone in 2 days. Thank you so much for this video!!
😂😂😂😂😂
this didnt work for me they just outside the plastic bottle
Wow nice I also had 50fruit flies 49 are gone and 1 is left.. it's hunting time.

It works better if the mouth of the bottle isn't touching the solution. That way they can't fly out once they're in.

I have traps with apple cider vinegar and dish soap and the fruit fly doesn't get near it the fruit fly has been living longer than fifty days four months I tried spraying it with my bleach cleaner and it didn't work and it has been growing I'm worried because I have a baby guinea pig scratching his ear there is no way it could be laying eggs because there is no other fruit flys just one so I don't why the fruit fly would be bothering him
I think maybe you should Google "fruit fly" images. Fruit flies don't show up one at a time; it's usually 100 or more. These guys look like gnats; only 2 or 3 millimeters long. You might be looking at a house fly.
@@curiouscharacter1 there was a infestation in my house and I was spraying a bunch of them with bleach cleaner and it was killing them the female was the only one left and I knew it was a female because it kept laying eggs in my guinea pigs ears my boyfriend started cleaning my guinea pigs ears with peroxide and cotton swabs and she was flying above the cage watching him and then it started flying around my house from room to room I saw it inside my bathroom one day on the wall above my toilet and I sprayed with the bleach cleaner and it didn't die that guinea pig died that is why it wasn't flying around the cage anymore we got a new guinea pig and it wasn't bothering this one because it was the only one inside my house three weeks ago it started flying in my boyfriends face and he killed it and I do know what fruit flies look like I had a big infestation going on in my house
Thanks.
GOOD...
Will this work for black flies?
I dont have apple cider vinegar
Time flys like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
It only works minimal
You're wrong. I left some vinegar (no water) with a drop of soap out on my counter, the next day I counted 30 dead fruit flies. Out of maybe one to two hundred that formed when I went on vacation and left fruit in my garbage can. I started leaving out 2 traps and they were all gone in a few days.
@@bestsnowboarderuknow You mean just a bottle of regular vinegar?? Can you elaborate?
What about those pesky pharmacy beetles?!!!! Such a headache. In my flour, cookies, cabinets!
Gotta try this
I’m trying this now!
Drowning in acid is rough, but games the game
Do you need to have the bottle in the liquid ??? The spout of the bottle ???
didn't work for me
Can I use regular vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar?
Yes but I’d add some syrup to it. It does work but idk if it works as well as apple cider vinegar
@@Svoboda1234 thanks for the reply ✌🏻
The title should not be to get rid of. It should be attract. If you want to get rid of, don’t leave anything at all even traps
It doesn’t work for me. The fruit flies are smarter than to be attracted to apple cider vinegar.
Does white vinegar work?
Tried it and it worked!
Ye Fruit Fly nahi thi
It seems to attract more into the house
It didn’t work for me😮
❤thanks
It all started when I left bananas out for too long😂
Shows about 45 fruit flies:
Her: "hundreds -- literally hundreds of fruit flies"
😂😂
I will be on my way to get the Apple Cider Vinegar and Dawn Dish Soap. Going by all the comments, it should work so thank you in advance!
I accidentoy left some grapes in my bag (stupid i know) bit im going to try this and see if it works😊
Not working for me. They are going near it but not in it
Does it have to be dawn or will Palmolive work?
Good question
Any dishwashing liquid will work. Just don't overdo it. The idea is to break the surface tension so that once landing on the surface the little bugs sink at once before they have a chance to escape drowning by flying away.
Recyclers don't take caps.
This is a counter productive idea 😂 the flys are there because you have open container of apple cider 😅which is gross to see them every day and deal with that grossness.
If you don’t want to see them, don’t leave around cut and open sugary stuff to begin with, even to trap them 😅 this is just sounds ridiculous 🤣
This is similar to leaving money around to catch thieves.
Amazing 🤩
