How to get rid of fruit flies in your house with a natural nontoxic bug trap? First let’s talk about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a small problem with these solutions: they don’t work very good. Additionally your room will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work very often: Attract the Flies with Rotten Fruits! Fruit flies love rotten fruits due to the smell of fermentation. Place a piece of rotten fruit into a container or bowl then cover the container with a plastic wrap. Poke a few tiny holes into the plastic wrap. The gnats will fly in and get trapped inside the container. Sticky fly traps, such as the yellow sticky trap, works really well for people who are dealing with serious fruit fly infestations. Place several of these traps around your kitchen and bathroom. There’s no way for the flies to escape once they land on the sticky surface. These traps may also help you eliminate other common household pests like fungus gnats, pantry and clothes moths, and white flies.
But the issue is that, most of the times, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the bad smell from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and powerful liquid – it’s just not ok having that available in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : In fairness: you probably are aware not to let fruit get too spread around the office if you’re trying to avoid fruit flies. However, fruit flies aren’t actually just attracted to fruit–they’re attracted to all sugars. Fruit just happens to be a sugar they can also lay eggs in. Imagine living in your favorite food! Before going home at the end of the day, scour the office for any uncovered food. This includes fruit, of course, but also bread, candy, meat, cheese, yogurt, and pretty much any other likely office snack. Either dispose of this stuff outside the office building or seal it in airtight plastic and put it in the fridge. If you want to keep fruit flies out, you can’t provide them with a buffet.
