- A mason jar or 16 oz soda bottle
- A piece of paper
- bait (fruit or a vinegar/dish soap combo)
- Tape
Roll the piece of paper into a cone with a small opening at one end.
Make sure the opening is just enough for the fruit flies to enter
Place your bait at the bottom of the jar
Tape your cone around the mouth of the jar, do not leave any open spaces
Other methods are to use wax paper or saran wrap as a lid, you can poke small holes in wrap/saran, use a rubber band to keep it on
the flies will be attracted to the bait and will fly into the small hole, but they aren't smart enough to get back out
