How to Make a Fruit Fly Trap (it rly works&read description)

Materials Needed:
1. large empty water bottle
2. scissors
3. clear tape (translucent or scotch works fine too)
4. knife
5. banana peel (banana works best, but if you dont have that in your part of the world, use soda or anything heavy in natural sugar)

- Make sure you have done your dishes and taken out your garbage.
- Make sure that you have no other bananas accessible or available to the flies. Eat them or put them in plastic. The bait in the bottle is the only thing you want for them to be able to eat.
- You can put the bottle in the freezer for a few minutes to kill them quickly if you want. Then put it back out for more.
- Each trap can last about 3 to 5 days. That should be long enough to take care of your problem if you follow the directions.
- You can also make one of these for bees and wasps using a 2 liter bottle and honey or syrup. Thanks for the variation funkworm!

this is way too complicated.

just put banana peels in a plastic bag, tie it up, punch few holes on it with toothpick, and it will do the same thing.

@soyothedanny good idea! you should make a video =)

I only had a small bottle to use. I also only had some orange peels. I also have a sticky soda fountain machine that is attracting them. I cleaned it up as best I could, but the little buggers ain't going for the peel action. :( But thank you for this video. I will try again, only next time, I'll follow your directions. :D

[RawFitChris]

@xohmyheadx Make sure that the banana peels used are from truly ripe speckled bananas.

Your handling of the knife really scares me ._________.

I do it a little bit differently

when those flies are trapped in the bottle, I just bring the bottle to toilet, open the tab and pour water into the bottle so the flies will drawn to death, then rip the tape off and drop the banana-fruit flies-water into toilet bowl and flush them off
