Hey, this is the best trick to get rid of fruit flies- Take a tall jar
or glass with a narrow top. Put a piece of fruit in the bottom,
sprinkle w/ a little yeast to make it ferment faster. Cover the top w/
plastic wrap. Now, make a funnel (paper cone) about with a really
small hole at the bottom. Poke a tiny hole in your plastic wrap, and
insert the cone about 1/2 way down into the glass, being careful not to
rip the plastic- you don't want any gaps between the fumnnel and
plastic. You will have to mess w/ it to get it just right and balanced,
but when you do, put it near the little buggers- they can get in, but
can't figure out how to get out via that little hole.
