It could be the long hot summer we\u2019ve had, the mild autumn, who knows all I know is that they are pests; they are so annoying buzzing around while I cook, eat or am enjoying a glass of wine. I have small children, a cat and a dog so I don\u2019t feel a pesticide is an option. I sourced out several natural options on the internet and tried a number of them. This is the <strong>only one<\/strong> that worked, it\u2019s easy, safe, inexpensive and quick!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>place \u00be cup of Apple Cider Vinegar in a glass.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 2: <\/strong>add 1-2 tablespoons of Sunlight dish detergent.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Full force, straight from the tap add water up to the rim so you gets bubbles \u2013 the pesky flies get caught in the bubbles and can\u2019t get out.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Walk away and in a few minute you will be amazed how many have met their demise. Within a day you will have drowned a colony. It took me two days to rid our house of these annoying pests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year seems to have been an exceptionally bad year for fruit flies.
