pretty fly for a white guy
fruitflies and i hate each other. i came up with this clever way to capture them. and if you're anything like my mother, you can release them easily too.
-
Step 1
gather your supplies:
clean jar and its matching lid
1 jar of blueberry baby food
spoon
hammer and nail -
Step 2
take a small spoonful of blueberry baby food and put it in the bottom of your clean jar and close the lid.
-
Step 3
take your nail and hammer and poke a single fruitfly-sized hole into the lid.
-
Step 4
leave the trap somewhere discreet in your kitchen or wherever your fruitlies like to hang out.
check back in a day or so to see what you've caught.
clean the jar out every second day and repeat.

They flew for about 4 seconds and then just droped dead in mid air.. it was kinda cool looking
my mom insists on setting them free outside, she's crazy. not like they don't have a 24hr lifespan anyway.
i've found that this helped tons, they can't get back out of the single hole, and it attracts them away from other sources due to the natural sugar content within the blueberry food.
