One effective DIY method for getting rid of fruit flies indoors involves creating a simple trap using a plastic bottle.
Here's how to make a fruit fly trap:
- Gather your materials: You will need an empty plastic bottle.
- Prepare the bottle: Take the top of the bottle and remove the cap. Recycle the cap.
- Create a funnel: Invert the top portion of the bottle (the part you just removed) and place it inside the remaining bottle body, creating a funnel-like structure.
The fruit flies will be attracted to the inside of the bottle and get trapped, unable to escape through the narrow opening. You can add a small amount of sugary liquid or apple cider vinegar to the bottom of the trap to make it even more enticing.
