Fresh fruits are the best right, especially in the summer when the weather is hot and you need your vitamins more than ever. Well, you know who else loves fresh fruits? Those nasty, little fruit flies.
Somehow, these pesky creature always seem to find their way to your fruit bowl and dig into your super healthy, super delicious farmer’s market haul before you get a chance to peel your first apple.
No more of that! You should be able to enjoy your favorite selection of seasonal produce without having to worry about fruit flies devouring it as soon as you get home from the store. Luckily, there’s an effective solution that will help you banish fruit flies from your kitchen once and for all.
We’re talking about apple cider vinegar! This inexpensive drink will help you keep fruit flies at bay so that you can enjoy fresh fruits for longer. The first step is to remove all overripe fruits from your fruit bowl.
Once you’ve done that, take an empty container (it can be a glass jar, an old cup, anything you have, really) and cover it with plastic wrap. Use an elastic band to make sure the foil doesn’t move, and then poke several holes in it using a fork or a toothpick.
Then all there is left to do is store the container near the place where you typically keep your fruits. Fruit flies can’t resist the smell of vinegar and once they get inside the container, they won’t be able to get out.
It might not be pretty, but it’s definitely effective!
