Simple Fruit Fly Trap for House

Simple Fruit Fly Trap for House

Add a piece of fruit to an empty plastic water bottle and place bottle in a location where fruit flies have been seen.  Periodically close bottle with cap or hand, etc., and take bottle outside to release fruit flies caught.  Gently shake to get flies going to top, and flying off.  Use bottle until fruit fly larvae in bottle pupate on inside of bottle.  Cap bottle and discard with trash before flies hatch.  Start a new bottle with new fruit.
