How to get rid of fruit flies.

Fruit flies are pesky little insects that seem to appear out of nowhere and can be difficult to get rid of. Here are a few tips to help get rid of fruit flies:

• Keep your kitchen clean. Fruit flies are attracted to dirty kitchens and are more likely to breed in areas with food debris and garbage. Be sure to wipe down counters, wash dishes, and sweep floors regularly.
• Remove sources of food. If there is no food for fruit flies to eat, they will eventually die off. Remove any overripe fruit from your kitchen and be sure to keep garbage cans and recycling bins clean.
• Set out traps. There are a number of different traps you can make or purchase to catch fruit flies. One simple trap is to fill a bowl with apple cider vinegar and cover it with plastic wrap. Puncture a few holes in the wrap and the fruit flies will be drawn in but won’t be able to escape.
• Use insecticides. If all else fails, you may need to resort to using an insecticide. Be sure to follow the directions carefully and only use products that are safe to use around food.
