Come back after a few hours and it will be infested. Some will be stuck to the paper and some will not.. I ususally take some bug spray to the peice of fruit while they are all on it then pitch it and start over again!

The jars with red wine vinegar helps. When they gather on the jar , I have a hand vacumn and it sucks them in and they can't get out . The fruit flies were taking over .

ADD A LITTLE POWERED YEAST AND PUT A FUNNEL IN THE TOP WITH PAPER TOWEL AROUND THE EDGE. THE FLIES GO IN BUT CAN'T FIND THE SMALL FUNNEL END TO ESCAPE. ITS INEXPENSIVE AND WHEN SOME FLIES ARE IN FILL THE JAR WITH HOT WATER FROM THE SINK FAUCET.

No matter what i have tried, the problem seems to get worse and worse. Although they are starting to die down now. Although you can make traps, i have found that the store bought traps work much much better. they are about 5.00 per trap and I have caught 3 times the amt of fruit flies as i have with the vinegar trap. also fly paper hung above the trap works nicely too.

The vinegar didn't work very well. What worked the best as a trap was coffee with nondairy creamer and Splenda. If you happen to have a coffee cup with a narrow brim that helps. Fill the cup about 1/4 full, load in the creamer and three to four packets of Splenda, stir until blended. Leave in the area you have them. In about 24 hours you have caught a TON. But absolutely the first thing to do is find the source, get rid of that, keep the kitchen and bathroom clean, clean, clean. I’ve tried some of these. The vinegar didn’t work very well.

Cut the top of the bottle off and flip it upside down and put it back in and seal it with tape. This way the flies make their way down into the bottle, but are too stupid to figure out get back out. I'll try some dish soap to poison them...right now I just harvest them and take them outside haha. Put some vinegar and a split cherry tomato in the bottom of a plastic coke bottle.
