Whipped up the BEST fruit fly catcher EVER. Yes, apple cider vinegar with a touch of dish-soap works fine. And there are some other ways that works fine. But this is by far the most successful I've tried. I took a plastic drink bottle, filled the bottom couple of inches with warm water, added a couple of teaspoons of yeast and some sugar, then used a knife to poke holes in the bottle a bit above the "water" line. The yeasty smell attracts the fruit flies like crazy!!! They slip in through the holes then either die in the yeast mixture or wander in the top of the bottle until they die in the yeast mixture. :) My biggest problem with the ACV method was run-away fruit flies who were attracted, but not done all the way in. I am not going to admit to how many fruit flies I have caught, because that's gross, but trust me -- it's highly effective :D via Facebook
