I'm Back~

But, fruit flies really need to be gone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy trying to get some summer projects out of the way before I go back to work in 8 days :(

One of the projects was to get rid of FRUIT FLIES from our kitchen! Gross! I hate fruit flies!...more than ants.

I usually try to use homeopathic methods before resulting to chemicals b/c of my kiddos but I've read about remedies that say to put red wine vinegar in a shallow bowl and to cover with foil with holes in it BUT they've never worked when I've tried.

One of my sisters was visiting and said she's done that remedy but in a wine class with a funnel and she said it worked. SO~ here's our version:

Materials:

Wine glass

Paper

tape

Red Wine Vinegar 

OR any Wine 

(we used merlot that was already opened...we're high class like that)

:wink:

Instructions:

Pour a little wine in a wine glass

Make a funnel out of paper

(we used one of addy's drawings...we're all about reusing & recycling)

Tape the funnel to seal it to the glass on the outside

Place the glass at the problem source or the trash can area

Then,

watch the flies accumulate and eventually drown

Sorry Fruit Flies.

Big opening at the top. Little opening into the wine. Huge entrance, slim exit.

End result? We caught dozens and dozens! OMG over a span of 5 days we caught probably 6-8 at a time and we slowly saw them drowning. Now there are no more fruit flies in our kitchen! :) Thank you natural remedies! I love Wine!!!! Wine (in moderation) cures all things. :P
