How do you get rid of fruit flies?

Unfortunately the fruit flies are actually coming WITH the fruit. The females lay their eggs in the skin of the fruit. That's why covering it doesn't help.

You could try putting the fruit in a large, covered, container for a day or two and then open it outside where you can shoo them away

Put the fruit in the refigerator

Vinegar and a little bit of dawn dish liquid in a small container

I keep a small bowl with apple cider vinegar, water and a squirt of dish detergent on my windowsill. They drown in it.

Pour about 1/4 c. apple cider in a empty soda can, add about a Tbsp. of diced really ripe apple or really ripe banana,and shake around, they can get in but they can't get out. It's not instant but it works.

thank you all will do

Hello, try putting the fruit in a sealed plastic bag for a few days, this should help you.

Here's a tutorial I wrote that might help you - https://chascrazycreations.com/diy-bug-repellents-traps/

Fill a microwave-safe bowl with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. Microwave the bowl so the mixture becomes even more aromatic. Leave the bowl out uncovered as fruit fly bait. The soap will reduce the surface tension, causing any fruit fly that lands on the surface to drown. Now, if what you have might be drain flies...if that is what you have try this: Boil some water on the stove and pour down your drain several times a day for about a week or Mix 1/2 cup salt, 1/2 cup baking soda and 1 cup of vinegar and then pour the mixture down the drain, leaving it overnight. In the morning, pour boiling hot water down the drain.

If a drain fly infestation lasts longer than 20 days despite different approaches to get rid of them, then it’s time to call a professional exterminator.
