place a bowl with apple cider vinegar and dish soap on your counter. The fruit flies are attracted to the smell and will get stuck because of the soap. I have used this method and it rids the house of them. No specific measurements required for the vinegar/soap
The apple cider vinegar and dish detergent mix is right -- I can attest. The detergent lowers the surface tension so that instead of being able to walk on the surface, they sink. You can add a little water, if you want. If you find that it drowns a bunch and then others don't enter, you probably need to replace it -- I think the smell must change and become less attractive to them.
in a small dish or cup put vinegar/dash sugar, or pickle juice, cover the top with clear wrap and pike tiny holes with end of a paper clip or something similar in the plastic, leave setting out, the fruit flies will check in but cannot get out
I tried the apple cider vinegar and dish soap but it did not work for me.
But then I tried Citronella candles and within a few days they were all gone.
Here's a tutorial I wrote that might help you - https://chascrazycreations.com/diy-bug-repellents-traps/
Mix a half cup of salt, half cup of baking soda, and one cup of vinegar, and pour the mixture down the drain. You can follow that with boiling water a few hours later.
Hi Nancy, hope this helps.
In a small bowl, mix a half cup of warm water plus two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of sugar, and about six drops of liquid dish soap. Gnats will be lured in by the sugary mixture, but once they dip in for a drink, the sticky dish soap will trap them.

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.
Try sticky traps - available on Amazon.
