How can I get rid of gnats and fruit flies?

Pamela, gnats and fruit flies are carried in with our marketing. When the fruit is put away, they live and multiply in the sink drains. If you clean only one sink, they move to any and all other drains. I use Simple Green to kill them. I spritze 7 or 8 times at once down each drain in the whole house, yes even tubs and showers. I do it every day for a week or as long as you see any in the house. Then after they are gone, I do it weekly to keep them gone. Simple Green kills them where they live and breed.

mix white vinegar and dish soap in a small bowl. cover with plastic wrap tightly.{rubber band ] poke a hole in plastic wrap. flies will enter ,but can't get out.

The vinegar trap in the covered glass jar a cup has always worked for me.

“Get Rid of Fruitflies with a Homemade Fruit Fly Trap. Pour just enough cider vinegar to cover the bottom of the jar. Add a drop of dish soap (it will break the surface tension of the vinegar so the fruit flies can't just sit atop the liquid). Now, cover the jar with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in the top.”

I had a terrible gnat problem and the vinegar traps worked perfectly! Simply place a few tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, a few drops of dish soap, and a tablespoon of sugar in a bowl and stir. Set your bowl in an area where gnats are prevalent, such as your kitchen or bathroom. This took care of my problem in just a couple of days!

This is what I do, wash all fruit and vegies when you bring them home and store all in the refrig except bananas. If there were any eggs on the produce they are now in the drain, to address this problem put 1/2 cup of baking soda in each kitchen drain and follow with 1 cup vinegar. When the fizzing stops rinse well with hot water for a min or so, cover the drains with a stopper. For the airborne ones, take a mice sticky cardboard trap and cut 1 in half with the plastic cover on it, peel off the plastic cover off 1 of these halves and place a piece of decaying fruit in the center of it, that will draw them. They will land and that ends the cycle.

OOOh, this year I bought the Zeva flying bug traps and they were amazing! We live on a lake and struggle with fruit flies every summer. This worked better than anything I've ever tried.

Keep fruit in fridge, remove all plants or spray soil with fly spray!

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.
