  • Fruit flies are really bad fliers. They can fly, but either they can't see well, or they can't control where they're going. Either way, they crawl into the container to get to the food that they're smelling, then when they try to get out, they don't crawl out, they just try to fly out and can't! Voila!

  • @Lovaelihn I've got a shot glass half filled with red wine and plastic wrap over top. It's working really well. There's about 14 dead so far. yay!

  • To kill fruit flies you can freeze them. However, they need to be kept frozen for a few days or be wetted to insure fatality. It's amazing but you can have a few dozen apparently dead fruit flies that have been frozen for over 24 hours, but they can all revive and be as good as new once they warm up.

  • @Gosmner Wow, that's pretty wild. :)

  • fill a cup of vinegar and wait for 2 hours

    50 dead

  • Tried that, BB. My flies seem immune to the alluring effects of vinegar.

  • Yesterday, I opened my microwave, it was full of them! I killed about 37 of them! I don't know where they came from :O Can someone tell me how they become to be?

  • @Lovaelihn If you are going to bait them with fruit, I only use a little piece of fruit as bait. A little is all ya need. Then an hour or so later, the jar is full of them. Then I zap them with bug killer and throw it outside. If you take it outside with the bugs alive, they will just be back inside. Instead, do this and exterminate as many as possible. Very effective. I've done this for years.

  • Die all those damn flys!!!!!

  • LET THE FRUIT FLYS FREE WITF IS WRONG WITH YOU DUDE!

  • Good video ! You could actually use the catched fruit flies feeding a jumping spider. Thats what I do . Best Regards Tiugin Othman

  • theyre frikkin anoying and now my window smells like fresh poop on the outside of my window there are like 27 of them every day om my house

  • Erm so you put your fruit AWAY so you could make a fruit fly trap? Wouldnt putting your fruit away already have solved the problem to start with?

  • hmm,very sexy,haa. listen I have thousands of these damn things! I am serious,my house is super clean too,but I have two rabbit cages and that is what started the problem. I would put carrots ,lettuce or bananas out as treats for my 3 bunnies,and started noticing some fruit flies,well holy crap,I mean I have tried everything!! Vaccuming them w/the little attachment,smashing them with papertowels,and my favorite spraying them w/glass cleaner and then smooshing them with paper towels!!lol

  • fruit flies is the most best experience in my life.
