Instructions:
Set the Trap:
Pour about 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar into a small bowl or jar. This will attract the fruit flies.
Add Baking Soda:
Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the vinegar. The bubbling action may help lure flies into the trap.
Cover and Poke Holes:
Cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a few small holes in it, or use a funnel. This allows the fruit flies to enter but makes it difficult for them to escape.
Wait for Results:
Leave the trap out for a day or two. Once the flies are trapped inside, discard the contents and clean the area to prevent future infestations.
Why It Works: The smell of vinegar attracts fruit flies, and the baking soda mixture prevents them from escaping once they are inside the trap.
Final Thoughts:
Baking soda and vinegar are incredibly versatile and effective at naturally eliminating common household pests. Whether you’re dealing with ants, roaches, or fruit flies, these non-toxic solutions are safe to use around your home and environmentally friendly. Give these methods a try to keep your home pest-free without resorting to harsh chemicals! 🌿🐞
