How to eradicate the 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 very big issue with these solutions: they don’t work very good. In addition your bar will smell very bad!
Urban legend that doesn’t work most of the times: Create a Trap Using Stale Wine! Have any stale wine left over that you aren’t going to drink? Put it to good use by converting it into a homemade gnat trap. It’s very similar to the apple cider vinegar trap. First, pour some wine into a container then place the container next to the problem area. The goal of this remedy is to use the scent of the wine to attract the fruit flies into the container. The flies will immediately drown once they make contact with the liquid surface. Adding some dish soap will also help with this trap. You can also use a wine bottle as a container. Beer and any other type of beverages that rely on fermentation will work just as well. You may have greater success with beverages that have more of a fruity aromatic scent.
But the issue is that, very often, this solution doesn’t work, fruit flies will appear again and you will also have a problem with the very bad odor from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and powerful liquid – it’s just not fun 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 know not to let fruit get too spread around the office if you’re trying to prevent 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.
