How can you get rid of fruit flies?

Eat the fruit ๐
Throw out the fruit
Trap. Use a little bowl with apple cider vinegar mixed dish detergent. Once they hit the water they sink to the bottom.
Thanks for this. Fruit flies drive my mom crazy.
vinegar down every drain!
Those fruit flies are breeding somewhere. Put the fruit in the fridge, clean the whole area, and if they persist, look for where else you can keep clean that they are breeding. If you find a slimy gunk, that is where the eggs were laid, and you can keep that cleaned often to not have them lay eggs there anymore.
I had a potted plant filled with them recently. If that's the case in your house it doesn't matter how many apple cider vinegar traps you make, they will stay in the soil.
I found this stuff called diatomaceous earth that kills fruit flies and dusted the top of the soil a few times. That took care of it.
Don't inhale the dust. It goes everywhere and it's really bad to inhale. Wear an n95 or do it outside with a fan blowing.
Red wind vinegar and a drop of dish soap in the bottom of a glass.
You can add plasticwrap or a paper funnel also.
Works great.
