Get rid of fruit flies in your home

How to eradicate the fruit flies in your home with a nontoxic bug trap? 1st let’s talk about the most common natural home solution: apple cider vinegar and dish soap to kill fruit flies. There is a very big issue with these solutions: they don’t work very good. In addition your bar will smell very bad!

Urban legend that doesn’t work very often: Drown the Flies with a Candle Trap Setup! This fruit fly trap only requires a candle. When it gets dark, place a candle on a tray or bowl filled with water then set the tray next to the fly-infested area. Next, turn off the light so that the only light source in the room is the candle (close the curtains to block outside sources of light). This homemade trap will kill the gnats in two ways. First, any fruit flies that get close to the candle flame will get theirs wings burnt and fall to their death. Second, some flies may avoid the actual flame and instead go for the reflection in the water. They won’t be able to escape once they land in the water (adding a few squirts of dish soap will make it near-impossible).

But the problem is that, most of the times, this method doesn’t work, fruit flies will show up again and you will also have a problem with the very bad odor from this “natural” solution. Vinegar is a very potent and pungent liquid – it’s just not ok having that open in the house. Especially if there are kids around. Do you want dead flying insects floating around on their kitchen counter, table, bar, or restaurant?

Fruit flies prevention tip (it’s easier to prevent!) : Clean the fruit you get in: This is going to be tough to hear, but if fruit flies keep getting in somehow, it’s possible they’re using you to get in. Don’t feel guilty, you were an unwitting pawn in their master scheme. One way to prevent your dastardly foe from manipulating you for their own purposes yet again is to wash all the fruit you bring into the office as soon as you get in. Even if you bought your apple that morning, a fruit fly could’ve found it and snuck aboard at any point on your commute, even if it never left your bag. It’s not consciously trying to get into your office, but you bring it there and once it gets a look around, it settles in and lays eggs. So… wash your fruit when you bring it in! Easy peasy.

UV light attracts the bug: I bet you didn’t know that drain flies, fruit flies, and mosquitoes are attracted to certain spectrum of UV light! Well, they do, believe it or not. Which is why this Eon Luxe device works wonders to attract fruit flies to it, without the need of awful, pungent smelling vinegar. The whisper-quiet fan sucks the fruit fly or gnat into the device: Once they are attracted to the device by the light, the bug starts to migrate near the Eon Luxe device. When they get too close, the fan sucks them. The flies goes through a no-escape cone-shaped vortex: The fruit fly is then pushed down through a vortex that allows entry in, but no exit out.
