The Fruit Fly Trap

With the glut of fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden, and friends gardens, and neighbors gardens, and sometimes even the gardens of generous strangers...
there really is no way to store it without attracting fruit flies.
Those sneaky things get in any old way they can. But, I have found a way to trick them.

The FRUIT FLY TRAP

It starts with one banana peel - if you have fruit flies, you probably have bananas - it's their favorite. 

By placing the banana peel into a seal able plastic bag (zipper style works best), and poking small holes into the bag, you allow the fruit flies in. They find their way in by following the scent of the banana. 

Once they get in, they can't find their way out.

When you are satisfied that you have caught enough of them, just throw the bag away.

It's cheap, it's simple and it's very effective.

Batman guarding the trap is optional. He does not actually effect the trap, but if you have little boys hanging around at your house, they will all agree that it can't hurt to have Batman on your side.

This is today's frugal living daily tip.
