I have just done the cider vinegar trap, just hope it works, I don’t know where they are coming from yet.
Oh those sticky fly traps make me shudder.
I remember the long sticky things covered in dead bodies hanging in people’s kitchen when I was a child .

For fruit flies, cut a lemon in half, then press cloves into the flesh. Place in or near your fruit bowl.

They fly in from the patio through to the living room where they batter themselves on the window, one of us lets them out. I swear they then fly back round and do it again

I get rid of fruit flies with cider vinegar and a splash of washing up liquid in a ramekin

Fly Swatter if you can get them to land on something ? My cheap two quid plastic one is very effective.

How do you get rid of yours? Someone on here said something about honey and something else in the bottom of a jar.anyone remember what it was?
