How to get rid of fruit flies in restaurant 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 issue with these solutions: they don’t work very good. In addition your house 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 method doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the bad odor 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!) : Wash the fruit you get in: This is going to be tough to hear, but if fruit flies keep getting in somehow, it’s possible they’re using you to get in. Don’t feel guilty, you were an unwitting pawn in their master scheme. One way to prevent your dastardly foe from manipulating you for their own purposes yet again is to wash all the fruit you bring into the office as soon as you get in. Even if you bought your apple that morning, a fruit fly could’ve found it and snuck aboard at any point on your commute, even if it never left your bag. It’s not consciously trying to get into your office, but you bring it there and once it gets a look around, it settles in and lays eggs. So… wash your fruit when you bring it in! Easy peasy.
We are a husband and wife duo operating a small business in a small town just 30 minutes south of Boston in Pembroke, Massachusetts. We love hiking – in the above photo, we were at the Montezuma Castle. I love smoothies and Acai bowls, so there’s always a few organic bananas in my fruit bowl. No matter how clean I keep the house, a few fruit flies still find their way in my home buzzing around the bananas and other fruits. They are an annoyance! I tried using apple cidar vinegar and dish soap – and they work great, but the ACV has a very strong smell, and they just don’t look very nice in home…..And the kids have “accidentally” spilled them once or twice. Definitely not fun. Read extra details at https://www.eonluxe.com/how-to-get-rid-of-fruit-flies/.
