How to get rid of fruit flies.
We had a fruit fly invasion.
The culprit - was the withering bananas in the fruit bowl.
Trying to get rid of them can be tricky.
They reproduce quickly and abundantly.
I search, I Googled, a solution.
Syrup in a bowl - didn't work. Sugar water in a bowl - didn't work.
Threw out the bananas. Still they stormed.
I inadvertently found the most effective solution thus far.
We consumed a bottle of our homemade wine
- though there was an inch or so left in the bottom of the bottle.
It seems the flies enjoyed it just as much as we did.
They consumed, they became intoxicated and they drown.
I recommend using a coloured bottle.
Ours as you can see from the photo was blue.
An attractive and inconspicuous fly trap.
Guests commented on the bottles colour, none noticed the dead flies.
