Recently Jim saw a linked-post on facebook describing a
unique way to get rid of fruit flies.
You take a wide mouth jar and fill it 1/2 full
with apple cider vinegar. No other vinegar will work. It has to be apple cider
vinegar. Add a few drops of dish soap and then add some water until
the bubbles reach the rim of the jar.

We left the jar on the island near our bowl of apples. The
theory is the fruit flies are drawn by the scent of the vinegar, get caught in
the bubbles and die.
When the bubbles disappeared we got out our milk frother and
recharged the bubbles. We keep frothing our jar during the day. The post said
it takes between 24 and 48 hours to get rid of all of them. We’ll see.
three down . . .

Well, well .... never heard of such. Looks like it's working.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to use our milk frother!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to leave ours out. Tom would surly use it for his coffee.
they are pesky little things, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI've used Christine's method she posted last year...it's a good one, too!
Well.. It looks like it is working! What is the "body count" now?! :)
