Lord of the Flies...

Along with the onset of fall comes the influx of FRUIT FLIES...well, at least at this home. With all the canning I have done over the past few months, my home has become a breeding ground for fruit flies. I swipe and smash and snap at those blasted bugs all day long. So I was really thrilled to come across this fruit fly trap as I was blog hopping the other night.
Here is the deal...make a funnel out of paper, place in a jar that has some tempting fruit in it.


Wait for a little while...(OK, mere seconds at my house)...and voila...those stupid little flies are trapped! YES!!!

Now to plot my revenge....Mwaaaahhhhhh haaaa haaaaa.

I just learned you can also use 1/2 cup vinegar, a spoonful or two of sugar and a couple drops of dish soap to get rid of those fruit flies!

That is a wonderful idea. I'm going to have to try that next time.
