  • Also pour boiling water or bleach down your drains where they lay eggs

  • @junkyturd Thanks! I'll add that to the regimine.

  • Thanks so much! Awesome tip!

  • @Vivi21Luv You're very welcome!

  • Does regular vinegar work like the apple cider vinegar?

    

  • @Cathrine19851 Regular vinegar won't be as effective as it's the apple/fruit they are attracted to but it should still work.

  • @Chemeleon15 Thanks... just bought some 2 days ago.

    But it doesn't work for some reason... only caught one so far. :(

    I put soap in as well and also saran wrap... but it only caught 1 in two days so what happened?

    I used a deep dish the first time, now I switched it to a plastic cup. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

  • @fl333r it's Apple Cider Vinegar not just apple vinegar because its made from Apple Cider. It's actually very common. If you see a brown vinegar in an average supermarket, it's most likely Apple Cider Vinegar. Most other vinegars are white or really dark(like balsamic).

  • MAHAHAHA IT'S AN ORGY OF DEATH! >:D

    Seriously though... I've been living with those little buggers for years now... EVEN WHEN WE MOVE.

    So this would be nice.

  • Where do you find apple vinegar... I didn't see it with the vinegar in Superstore :(

  • is there any other thing i can use besides apple cider vinegar

  • Cool. Definitely going to try this in the summer.

  • yeah and it also helps to locate and remove the source. otherwise this process here can keep going on and on. I service a bar and found the source in the cracks of the floor underneath some floor mats behind the bar. also their reservoir at the beer pumps wasn't thoroughly cleaned. So yes this can help but most of the time if you first don't remove the source you can be doing this for sometime.

  • @Zankeyer

    no, houseflies are not attracted by vinegar

  • @Zankeyer I've never heard of it working on house flies, they're attracted to more smelly things. If you want to get rid of houseflies---I've found those cheap electric flyswatters to be very effective. For outdoor areas, just hang a ziploc bag filled with water and a few pennies. drives them away better than anything else I've tried.
