Answer#1 Query: Ref:0261 Fruit Fly Problem. Don't know how old your question was but here goes; it works great for me. I use equal parts liquid dish soap, water and apple cider vinegar. If the problem is really bad you may want to increase the apple cider and decrease the water. Hope this helps! -- Dawn Channer -- Reply 20 Oct 2002
Answer#2: Fruit Flies . Two things i have done that worked:
1. If you have wine in the house, pour a small amount in a short cup overnight, they will come to it and drown. (if you don't want to waste good wine on bugs).
2. same thing with a small amount of apple cider vinegar. Like i said this worked for me. -- Lisa Mayles 8/05/08
