Fruit Fly Trap

For anyone who hasn't come across this trap before and needs a fruit-fly solution...

Place some vinegar in a container.

Add a tiny drop of washing up liquid - there's no need to mix it in but the flys won't sink without it.

Cover with cling film and pierce holes big enough for the flys to get through.

Cover fruit with a tea towel and leave the trap out near the flys.

Yeah it is.. It's the difference between feeling uneasy and feeling relaxed

Yes you can (not very nice).. And them launching themselves at your head when you're trying to cook/go about your business - makes all the difference with them gone.
