We had a record hot spell last week and some snuck in from outside and are out of control when one of my screens was compromised by the effect of the heat on the building. I have used apple cider vinegar w/o the saran wrap but the little suckers are too smart this time. Thanks for the saran wrap tip. It should get rid of the flies that the Darwin effect did not.

Thank you so much for this idea! Those fruit flies were driving me crazy.

It's a great tip for people who are composting, I do not always feel like taking a trip in the backyard at 10pm just to throw some fruit peels in the compost! Apple cider vinegar will also make your hair shiny. I tried and it works like a charm!

Invert the top and put it in the open part then tape the edges.
