Our beautiful Maiden Lane house has been invaded by tiny icky super fast fruit flies! So in case anyone's in this similar horrid predicament of having fruit flies flying in their face wherever they walk in their own home, here are some diy fruitfly traps I got off the net.
1. Put apple cider vinegar in a jar, cover in cling film, poke a few holes and hope the fruitflies fly in and drown.
2. Put a piece of banana in a jar, cover in cling flim, poke a few holes, and hope the fruitflies that fly in will stay in. (the person who wrote this claims they won't find their way back out through the holes)
3. Use hairspray (to kill rather than to trap)
4. Use sticky fly tape
5. Rub some Vicks vaporub on a lid and leave it out (more to chase them away then to trap)
There must be more, but for now, I shall make fruitfly trap number 1. heh.
