Fruit Flies Go AWAY!

The weather was so nice the other day, we opened the windows all day long and enjoyed a nice breeze blowing through the house.  Later that night we began to notice those pesky fruit flies that snuck in through the tiny holes in the screen.  The next day my friend from Dandelions, Dead Bugs, and Diaper Rashes came over and offered the solution you see above.  Here's how to make it:

1.  Cut up fruit (I used an apple that way on its way out to the trash anyway).
2.  Put the fruit in a bowl with about 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar in the bottom.
3. Cover the bowl tightly with Saran Wrap.
4.  Use a toothpick to poke holes for the fruit flies to get into.

Boy did it work.  Within a few hours there were probably 10 of them in the bowl, and I just went outside and released them.  I brought the bowl back inside and repeated the process for a few days until my house was rid of them.  I know as soon as I see one of these pesky bugs in the house again, I will make this trap again.
