How to Get Rid of Fruit Flies Fast

Step 2 – Add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. If you don’t have any, you can use red wine vinegar instead.

Step 3 – Stir in some water, making sure that they suds up a little bit…the bubbles help to trap the fruit flies or gnats.

Step 4 – Place the fruit fly trap near any areas where fruit flies have been seen. You can use cute, decorative bowls like this one and place them by your kitchen and bathroom sinks, near a fruit bowl and even near an indoor herb garden if you have one. Nobody will even notice 😉

Within a half an hour, I noticed our first gnat was trapped in the solution…yay!

I typically change the solution out every couple of days for about a week, and then don’t see any gnats for a while. When I notice any new gnats around, I just make it again! This is such an easy, natural, inexpensive way to keep those pesky gnats out of your home!
