How to get rid of fruit flies in your home with a natural nontoxic bug trap? 1st let’s talk about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a big problem with these solutions: they don’t work very good. In addition your bar will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work very often: Attract the Flies with Rotten Fruits! Fruit flies love rotten fruits due to the smell of fermentation. Place a piece of rotten fruit into a container or bowl then cover the container with a plastic wrap. Poke a few tiny holes into the plastic wrap. The gnats will fly in and get trapped inside the container. Sticky fly traps, such as the yellow sticky trap, works really well for people who are dealing with serious fruit fly infestations. Place several of these traps around your kitchen and bathroom. There’s no way for the flies to escape once they land on the sticky surface. These traps may also help you eliminate other common household pests like fungus gnats, pantry and clothes moths, and white flies.
But the issue is that, most of the times, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the bad smell from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and powerful liquid – it’s just not ok having that available in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Fruit flies may not love anything more than fruit, but if they had to pick a second favorite, it would be sugary beverages. Fruit flies will get at the last dregs of a coffee, soda, energy drink, or even water no matter where you hide them. Your trash and recycling bins aren’t safe from their terrible thirst. Before recycling any cans, cups, or bottles, rinse them out thoroughly with water from the sink. Then, dry them. It might feel silly to essentially wash something you’re throwing out, but you’ll be doing the fruit flies a favor if you don’t.
