I used apple cider vinegar and am thrilled to report that it is working! My husband was sooo impressed with my ingenuity. =o) Now we are making a home school project out of it.

I discovered this trick last year…while watching “How Clean is your House” on BBC America… works great. I usually put 2-3 cups of it around where the fruit flies are congregating.

It is very satisfying to swirl their little corpses around in the vinegar, is it not?!!!

And it works? I may have to kiss you! My husband will be ecstatic too. He wants me to stop buying bananas.
