Ingredients
- 1 (16-ounce) mason jar or any similar sized glass jar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3 drops liquid dish soap
- 1 piece paper 8.5x11
- Tape
Instructions
- Create a cone with 1 piece of 8.5x11 paper, making it smaller at the base and wider up top.
- Make sure it's wide enough that the paper sits about halfway in the (16-ounce) mason jar. Tape the paper so it stays in a cone shape.
- Remove the cone from the jar and add about 1 cup of apple cider vinegar. Squeeze about 3 drops of dish soap into the jar and stir to mix.
- Microwave the jar for about 20-30 seconds. This will make the smell of the mixture more potent, drawing the flies in more quickly.
- Add the cone and place it in a spot where the fruit flies have been.

Notes
- Take the jar outside before removing the cone, that way any insects that may still be able to fly won't escape back into your house.
- I usually pour the contents into the rocks I have outside and then spray it with the hose. You can also pour the contents down the drain.
- Either way, rinse the empty jar with hot soapy water.
