However, not all pests can be eliminated as easily as fruit flies. Are you having issues with termites, cockroaches, or fleas? Let Progressive Pest Control help!
To eliminate fruit flies from your home, consider these tricks:
Trick 1: Red Wine in a Dish
- Pour red wine in a dish and watch as the fruit flies swarm to it. Fruit flies are attracted to the scent and will drown in the alcohol.
Trick 2: Fruit-Jar Combination
- Place overripe fruit in a glass jar and cover the opening. Poke several small holes in the makeshift lid. The fruit flies will enter through the holes but won’t be able to get out.
Trick 3: Milk, Sugar, & Pepper Mixture
- Simmer one pint of milk, quarter pound of raw sugar, and two ounces of ground pepper for 10 minutes. Pour in dishes and place around the house. The flies will be drawn to the smell and drown.
