How do you get rid of fruit flies?

Everyone gets those nasty, annoying fruit flies in their home at least a few times. Do those bugs bug you as much as they bug me? I bet they do! And I know how to get rid of them in environmentally friendly way!

Here's How:

1. Remove the fruit that is attracting the fruit flies.
-This is the most obvious step, of course. But what you may not know is that those pesky little fruit flies lay tiny eggs in that fruit! Some tips also include: keeping your trash in a covered bin, keeping fruit in the refrigerator, and mopping your floors to remove any excess "spillage".


2. Wash the dishes and clean out the sink drain.
-Cleaning out the sink is just one more thing you can do to prevent the flies from sticking around. Small pieces of food sometimes get stuck in the dish drainer and even those small pieces can attract fruit flies. If you feel it's necessary, you can also use some Comet to clean the sink even more thoroughly.

3. Catch and Release them.
-To catch and release the flies, all you have to do is put a piece of rotten fruit into a big bowl/jar. Then you should put a paper cone with a small hole in the bottom in the mouth of the jar. The pointy end needs to point downward. The flies won't be able to get out this way.
4. Vacuum them up.
-Sounds kind of funny, doesn't it? But this proves pretty effective if you also do all the methods above along with it. Use the vacuum's hose to suck up the fruit flies that are all lingering in one spot.
