What is an effective way to get rid of fruit flies?

Question

I have tried everything to get rid of fruit flies from my store, but they keep on appearing all over the place. I even had an exterminator come in, but that didn't help much? Any tips on getting rid of them. I'm also making sure to clear all drainage.

Answer 1

This really works, I just finished trying it. Put 2oz of cider vinegar in a small clear glass, add two drops of dishwashing soap and let it set on your kitchen counter, wait a day or so and look in the bottom of the glass, you will see the little flies in the bottom of the glass, a friend of mine also tried this and it worked for her as well, simple cheap and it works!

Answer 2

The apple cider vinegar suggestions above work, but put the solution in a wide mouth jar at set a paper funnel in it, seal around the edges with tape. The flies get in, and can't get back out

Answer 3

I would suspect that the fruit flies are coming in with the fruit. If that is the case, I would contact the supplier or switch suppliers.

Answer 4

Flies can be easily sucked up with a vacuum cleaner hose. To prevent their appearing, fruit should be chilled, and discarded fruit should be wrapped tightly.

Answer 5

1/2 cup of apple cider viniger and 2 drops of dish soap. mix them well and let it sit where the fruit flys are . it will kill them.
