Getting Rid of Fruit Flies with Apple Cider Vinegar
It's pretty simple, really: fruit flies are attracted to the smell of apple cider vinegar, which is made up of acetic acid and other compounds that give it that distinctive aroma. When you mix apple cider vinegar with water in a jar, the scent is released into the air, drawing in those pesky fruit flies like a magnet. And once they land on the surface, they get trapped and can't escape!
Now, you might be wondering, how do I set this trap up? Easy peasy! Just grab a jar, fill it with 1-2 inches of apple cider vinegar, cover the top with plastic wrap, and poke some tiny holes in it with a toothpick. The fruit flies will be able to get in, but they won't be able to get out - genius, right?
