fruit attracts fruit flies Who doesn't know them, the small but annoying fruit flies that seem to appear out of nowhere and take over your fruit plate? Thanks to their ability to track down fermenting fruit and their super fast life cycle , they multiply quickly once they found your fruit supply. The best way to get rid of these buggers would be to store all fruit (and vegetable) in the fridge but many people (including myself) think that fruit loses some of it's flavor when you keep it refrigerated. Another popular answer to the fruit fly problem are vinegar traps. A combination of water, vinegar and dishwasher soap is put in a small bowl and the fruit flies are supposed to land in there and drown. This has never really worked for me so I was looking for another way to get rid of fruit flies. Fruit Fly Trap that works! Building a Working Fruit Fly Trap I've always thought it strange that fruit flies would prefer vinegar over fruit (which they didn't!)
