5. Wine and Dish Soap Trap:
– Mix equal parts wine and water in the bowl.
– Add a few drops of dish soap and mix gently.
– Fruit flies will be attracted to the wine, and the soap will prevent them from flying away.
Remember to place these traps in areas where you notice fruit fly activity, such as near ripe fruits or in the kitchen. Check and empty the traps regularly, as the captured fruit flies can attract more flies if left unattended.
Additionally, practice good hygiene by keeping your kitchen clean, disposing of overripe fruits, and storing produce properly to prevent fruit flies from being attracted to your home.
By using these traps and maintaining a clean environment, you can effectively combat fruit flies and keep them from multiplying.
