To get rid of pesky fruit flies, try this simple trick:  Fill a small glass or empty jelly jar 1/2 full with Apple Cider Vinegar.  Add 2 drops of dish washing liquid, and mix well.  With a jelly jar, you can just put the lid on and shake it! Leave the liquid standing somewhere in your kitchen where it’s not likely to get knocked over (and take that lid off).  You’ll find that fruit flies are naturally drawn to the cup (and unable to leave).  Apple cider vinegar is also great for your plants so after use as a bug trap, empty the liquid into a flower bed or potted plant, and start again!
