How to Eliminate Fruit Flies from your Kitchen without Pesticides.

This is a relatively simple process. 

You will need 

• Plastic 2 liter bottle 

• Some BBQ sauce.

Cut the 2 liter bottle where bottom part is 2/3rds the height of the uncut bottle. Pour about ¼ cup of BBQ sauce in the bottom of the bottle.  Invert the neck of the bottle and insert into the bottom, making sure you have a tight fit. I have found that having the mouth of the bottle about 1 inch from the bait is the most effective configuration. That's it. Just leave it out on the counter for several days.

Note: I use BBQ sauce because I have found that it is the best bait. Sugar water seemed to be completely ineffective in attracting the fruit flies into the bottle. 

Note: You may want to make several of these, throwing away what you have caught the day before and replacing your trap with a fresh one.

Note: You can also use this method to trap house flies. Sugar water seems to work on house flies, but oddly enough, they really seem to love wasabi (Japanese Horseradish, usually found in powdered form in the international food section of your local grocery store. Simply add water and make a soupy paste to put into your bottle).
