How to make a simple fruit fly trap at home

Fruit flies, also known as drosophila, are a common household nuisance capable of multiplying at a surprisingly fast pace. It only takes forgetting a ripening apple or other piece of fruit on the table for a whole swarm of these tiny insects to appear around it within a short time.

These flies are not only irritating as they buzz around the kitchen, but they also reproduce so quickly that the problem needs to be tackled as soon as possible before it spreads further.

The solution is close at hand

The good news is that fighting fruit flies doesn't require expensive or hard-to-find products. An effective trap can be made from simple items found in almost every home. Such a homemade solution helps get rid of these unwelcome "tenants" without resorting to chemical products or special store-bought items.

A detailed demonstration of how to make such a trap is available in video format, included in the original publication.
