Ingredients

• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 drops Dish soap
• 1 piece Plastic wrap
• 1 piece Rubber band
• 1 piece Small bowl or jar

Directions

Step 1

Pour 1 cup of apple cider vinegar into a small bowl or jar. The sweet smell of the vinegar will attract the fruit flies and gnats.

Step 2

Add 2 drops of dish soap to the vinegar. The dish soap will break the surface tension of the vinegar, causing the insects to sink and drown when they land on the liquid.

Step 3

Stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the bowl or jar, ensuring it is taut and secure.

Step 4

Poke small holes in the plastic wrap using a fork or toothpick. Make sure the holes are large enough for the flies to enter but not so large that they can easily escape.

Step 5

Use a rubber band to hold the plastic wrap in place securely around the rim of the bowl or jar.

Step 6

Place the trap in an area where you have noticed fruit fly or gnat activity, such as near a fruit bowl, trash can, or sink.

Step 7

Check the trap daily and replace the vinegar mixture every couple of days to maintain effectiveness.
