If you're like me, you've got a lot of beautiful in-season fruit sitting around right now. Now, I don't know where they come from or how they get in my house, but I always end up with lots of the little things flying around my kitchen.
A few years ago I was watching a britsh show, and for the life of me I can't remeber what it's called. The premise of the show was these two older British women went into peoples houses and cleaned them up for them, then went back a month later to see if they were keeping up with the cleaning. Anyways, long story short, this cure-all is from them...
Supplies needed:
*Red wine Vinegar (please don't use your expensive kind. Go to Wal-mart and buy the $1.99 bottle!)
*Dish Soap
*Plastic wrap
*A cup
-Place 1/4 cup red wine vinegar into the cup
-Carefully drop 2/3 drops of dish soap into the vinegar (This breaks up the tension of the vinegar and the fruit flies get stuck instead of flying away)
-Cover top of cup tightly with plastic wrap. Using a knife, poke a few holes in the top of the plastic wrap. Now they can get in but not back out!
-Leave sitting on the counter for a few days. I always set the cup right in the middle of the fruit-it's like a sneaky death trap!
-Come back later and count your success!
